The Internet of Things (IoT) has ushered in a technological revolution, transforming the way we interact with the world around us. Its applications are vast and diverse, spanning numerous industries and sectors.
One of the most prevalent and impactful use cases of IoT can be found in the realm of smart home automation. IoT devices like smart thermostats, lighting systems, security cameras, and appliances enable homeowners to control and monitor their homes remotely, enhancing convenience, energy efficiency, and security. Some major IoT use cases have been catalogued in the table on next page.
Industrial IoT (IIoT) is pivotal in the industrial sector, optimising operations through predictive maintenance, asset tracking, quality control, and supply chain management. This leads to reduced downtime, improved productivity, and data-driven decision-making, enhancing competitiveness.
In healthcare, IoT aids remote patient monitoring and wearable health devices, resulting in better health outcomes and reduced costs. Transportation and logistics benefit from IoT through vehicle tracking, fleet management, and traffic optimisation, boosting safety and efficiency. There are a range of applications in other domains too.
Agriculture. Embraces IoT for precision farming, improving crop yields and sustainability
Smart cities. Leverage IoT for traffic management, waste optimisation, and environmental monitoring, making urban areas more efficient and sustainable
Retail. Uses IoT for inventory management and personalised shopping experiences
Energy management. This is enhanced by IoT, with smart grids and energy consumption monitoring promoting sustainability
