Internet of Things (IoT)

Internet of Things (IoT)

• The Internet of Things is a system composed of interconnected computing devices or objects that can transmit data over the network without requiring any unique addressable interaction between people or between people and computers, based on standard communication protocols. 

 • This is a huge network of interconnected things that captures data about how it is used and its surrounding environment. 

 • When we talk about "things" in the Internet of Things, it is about objects that cannot be precisely identified. 

 • Sensors are used in devices and objects and provide data to various IoT platforms. 

 • In addition, the IoT platform is used to collect accurate information and detect patterns. 

 • Therefore, through the above processes, IoT helps organizations and institutions reduce costs by improving process efficiency, asset utilization, and productivity.
