Internet of Things
What is IoT ?
Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of devices connected
to the Internet with the ability to collect and exchange
data from users or environment with no human
intervention.
The device or the 'thing' in IoT could be any device
embedded with electronics, software and sensor like a
smart refrigerator, a smart air conditioner, lights in
household, connected security systems or even a person
with a heart monitor or an automobile.

Why IoT?
• We are lazy • Tons of data are collected from devices all over the
• We want to automate everything world.

• We want to control everything remotely • Where could we store this huge sum of data?

• We want to see data in real-time • The answer is "Cloud".

• Next part is "Analytics“

• Organizations apply analytics to business data to
describe, predict, and improve business performance.

How IoT works
• It consists of all the web-enabled devices that collect,
send and act on data they acquire from their
surrounding environments using embedded sensors,
processors and communication hardware.
• These smart devices can sometimes talk to other
related devices, a process called machine-to-machine
(M2M) communication.
• They act on the information they get from one
another.
• Humans can interact with the gadgets to set them up,
give them instructions or access the data, but the
devices do most of the work on their own without
human intervention.

How IoT works

GEE 4 Living in the IT Era By: Engr. Froilan G. Cantillo 9

Why IoT is important
The internet of things helps people live and work
smarter, as well as gain complete control over their lives.
In addition to offering smart devices to automate homes,
IoT is essential to business. IoT provides businesses with
a real-time look into how their systems really work,
delivering insights into everything from the performance
of machines to supply chain and logistics operations.
IoT enables companies to automate processes and
reduce labor costs. It also cuts down on waste and
improves service delivery, making it less expensive to
manufacture and deliver goods, as well as offering
transparency into customer transactions.
As such, IoT is one of the most important technologies of
everyday life, and it will continue to pick up steam as
more businesses realize the potential of connected
devices to keep them competitive.

How Does This Impact You?
IoT gives the benefit of realizing things ahead of time.
Because of the minimal expense of IoT, it is now possible
to screen and manage previously inaccessible activities.
The monetary aspect is the best benefit since this
innovation could replace people responsible for
observing and keeping up with provisions. Therefore,
expenses can essentially decrease and get optimized. IoT
