These devices interact and exchange information with each other through Internet. The devices connect to the internet either through Ethernet — wired or wireless or Bluetooth. These devices integrate data from the different devices and apply analytics sharing the most valuable information as per specific needs. It involves multi-level communication and flexible responses.
IoT based technologies have a lot of different applications. The IOT technologies are used in process automation
Monitoring
Prediction and Decision support using real data
Transportation
IoT technologies are likely be used with other technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and automated things to deliver integrated smart solutions. The list of IoT applications will grow as the technology evolves in the years ahead. The applications of IoT looks promising in the years ahead.
