THE INTERNET OF

THINGS:
AN OVERVIEW
Understanding the Issues and Challenges
of a More Connected World
• The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the ever-growing
network of physical objects that feature an IP address for
internet connectivity, and the communication that occurs
between these objects and other Internet-enabled devices
and systems.

• In simple words, Internet of Things (IoT) is an ecosystem


connected physical objects that are accessible through
the internet of connected.

• It is also referred to as Machine-to-Machine (M2M),Skynet


or Internet of Everything.
Corporate Aspect
IoT is a transformational force that
can help companies improve
performance through IoT Analytics
and IoT Security to deliver better
results. Businesses in the utilities, oil
& gas, insurance, manufacturing,
transportation, infrastructure and
retail sectors can reap the benefits of
IoT by making more informed
decisions.
How can IoT help?
• IoT platforms can help organizations reduce
cost through improve process efficiency, asset
utilization and productivity.

• The growth and convergence of data,


processes and things on the internet would
make such connections more relevant and
important, creating more opportunities for
people, businesses and industries.
What is the scope of IoT ?
Internet of Things can connect
devices embedded in various
systems to the internet. When
devices/objects can represent
themselves digitally, they can be
controlled from anywhere. The
connectivity then helps us capture
more data from more places,
ensuring more of increasing
efficiency.
Components of IoT
Smart Systems and Internet of Things are driven by a
combination of:
1. Sensors

2. Connectivity

3. People & Processes
