Recently, we’ve seen a huge surge of talk and excitement surrounding IoT (Internet of Things) technology. Despite all the anticipation, many people still don’t completely understand what it’s all about and what the uses of IoT could be.
In this post, we will explore what IoT is and we’ll give some examples of how IoT development could be applied to business for improved functionality.
What is IoT Technology?
IoT stands for Internet of Things. In short, it is just a network of physical devices.
IoT enables physical devices to connect and communicate with each other. An example of IoT would be your fridge, let’s say you accidentally left the door open and the temperature inside is rising. If the fridge is IoT enabled, a temperature sensor inside could detect the change and contact your phone via the internet to tell you that the door is open. This is a very simple example which just scratches the surface of IoT’s capabilities.
Could my Industry Benefit from IoT?
A simple answer is, yes, your industry could benefit from the implementation of the Internet of Things. IoT covers such a wide range of technology that it is almost guaranteed that in some way, your industry could, and probably will be improved by IoT.
So, How Can IoT be Applied to My Business?
There are a few key things that all businesses have and/or need. These things can become more efficient with the use of IoT. Of course, if we were to go industry specific, Internet of Things technology could have even more helpful use cases. For now, though, let’s just discuss a few ways that IoT will most likely be useful to your business:
So When Should I Implement the Internet of Things?
