IoT (Internet of Things)
 IoT stands for Internet of Things, which
refers to the network of physical objects or
"things" embedded with sensors, software,
and other technologies to connect and
exchange data with other devices and
systems over the internet. These "things"
can be anything from everyday household
objects to sophisticated industrial tools. IoT
enables objects to be sensed and controlled
remotely across existing network
infrastructure, creating opportunities for
more direct integration of the physical world
into computer-based systems, resulting in
improved efficiency, accuracy, and
01 Overview of IoT
Components of IoT:
● Sensors/Devices: Collect data from the
environment (e.g., temperature sensors, cameras,
GPS trackers).

● Connectivity: Transmits data to cloud services or


other devices via various communication methods
such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular networks, and
more.

● Data Processing: Analyzes collected data, either in


the cloud or locally, to extract meaningful
information.

● User Interface: Allows users to interact with the IoT


system, providing control, monitoring, and
management capabilities (e.g., mobile apps, web
dashboards).
Architecture of IoT:
● Perception Layer: Comprises sensors and
actuators that collect data.

● Network Layer: Responsible for transferring


data from the perception layer to processing
systems.

● Processing Layer: Also known as the


middleware layer, processes the data and
makes decisions based on analysis.

● Application Layer: Provides the specific


application-oriented services to users.
Communication
Protocols:
 IoT systems use various communication
protocols to facilitate interaction
between devices and the internet.
Examples include

1. MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry


Transport)
2. HTTP/HTTPS
3. CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol)
4. Zigbee.
History and
02 Evolution of IoT
 Early Beginnings:
The concept of connected devices can be traced
back to the early 1980s. One of the first
examples is the modified Coca-Cola vending
machine at Carnegie Mellon University, which
reported its inventory and whether drinks were
cold.

 1990s:
The term "Internet of Things" was coined by Kevin
Ashton in 1999. It described a system where the
internet would be connected to the physical world
via ubiquitous sensors.

 2000s:
Advancements in wireless communication
technologies, such as Wi-Fi and RFID (Radio-
Frequency Identification), began to support the
widespread implementation of IoT.
 2010s and Beyond:

 The rapid growth of smartphone usage and


cloud computing facilitated the development
and scalability of IoT applications.

 Introduction of smart home devices like Amazon


Echo and Google Home marked a significant
consumer adoption of IoT technology.

 IoT applications expanded to various sectors,


including agriculture, healthcare, industrial
automation, and smart cities.
IoT Applications
03 and Market
Trends
1. Smart Homes:
 IoT is widely used in smart home automation systems, including
devices like smart thermostats (e.g., Nest), smart lights (e.g.,
Philips Hue), smart security cameras (e.g., Ring), and voice-
activated assistants (e.g., Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant).
 These devices enhance convenience, security, and energy
efficiency by allowing remote control and automation of home
appliances.

2. Healthcare:
 IoT has revolutionized healthcare with devices like wearable
fitness trackers (e.g., Fitbit), smart medical devices (e.g.,
connected inhalers, heart monitors), and remote patient
monitoring systems.
 It enables continuous monitoring of patients' health, real-time
data collection, and personalized treatment plans, improving
healthcare outcomes.
3. Industrial IoT (IIoT):
 IoT applications in industries include predictive
maintenance of machinery, real-time monitoring of
industrial processes, supply chain optimization, and
inventory management.
 For example, IoT sensors in manufacturing plants
can detect anomalies and predict equipment
failures, minimizing downtime and maintenance
costs.

4. Agriculture:

 IoT applications in agriculture involve precision


farming, including soil moisture sensors, automated
irrigation systems, and livestock monitoring.
 Farmers can monitor crop conditions in real-time,
optimize water usage, and improve overall crop yield
and quality.
5. Smart Cities:

 IoT technology is employed to enhance urban


infrastructure, including smart traffic management
systems, smart parking solutions, waste
management, and energy-efficient buildings.
 Smart city projects aim to improve the quality of life
for residents by making cities more sustainable,
efficient, and responsive to their needs.

6. Market Trends:

 The IoT market is rapidly expanding, driven by


increased adoption across various sectors and
technological advancements.
 Key trends include the integration of AI and machine
learning with IoT, edge computing for faster data
processing, enhanced security measures for IoT
devices, and the growth of 5G networks enabling
higher data transmission speeds.
