3. Understanding The Internet Of Things • Digital Rube Goldberg devices • IoT can be a somewhat abstract concept to comprehend; it’s a huge topic with endless applications. One way of understanding IoT is by envisioning a primitive Rube Goldberg device. One action, such as the release of a lever, causes a chain of reactions with an end result; every action has a subsequent reaction. The IoT is a digital chain of events with an end result; the implementation of software streamlines the process of getting from point A to point B; the end goal is achieved while halving the process. The chain of command has been shortened to maximize efficiency thanks to digital automation. Why does implementing the IoT make the process so much more efficient? Removing the possibility of human error. • IoT and healthcare • The Internet of Things has undoubtedly changed the world. It is difficult to imagine a pre-internet world. In addition to allowing for instantaneous information to be available at the touch of a button, the IoT has made important, life-saving advances possible. For example, the IoT has made electronic medical records a possibility. A patient’s medical history can be instantly accessed by a physician thanks to electronic medical records; or, in other words, the IoT (in this case, the “thing” being a person’s health record). This is sometimes called the Internet of Medical Things.

4. Understanding The Internet Of Things • Of course, with respect to healthcare, the IoT is not limited to electronic medical records. IoT extends to everything from digitally monitored pacemakers to emergency notification devices to bionic prosthetic limbs. IoT has revolutionized healthcare, maximizing technological advances and allowing doctors and nurses to devote more time to urgent patient care. • IoT and daily life • IoT has changed virtually every aspect of daily life. From remote work to online classrooms, the IoT harnesses the power and possibility of the internet to make the world a smaller, more efficient place. On a basic level, the implementation of sensors, monitored and managed digitally, has made vast improvements in the logistics and handling of toll collection, thus reducing traffic accidents and congestion. Machine learning has revolutionized manufacturing, allowing for huge advances in engineering, construction and on-the-job safety. The IoT also helps to maintain safety; from home security systems that can be digitally monitored to electronic monitoring devices (i.e. ankle bracelets) used to ensure compliance with the law.

5. How the Internet of Things can transform your home • To start with, entertainment systems. Gathering information from its surroundings it will take information from other appliances and give you information. Another way it can transform your home is if your alarm goes off in the morning, the coffee will start brewing. You can also remotely guard your home to keep everything safe. You can connect your home to your possessions so that everything can always be kept safe.If you’re on your way home in the sweltering heat and you want your air con on before you get there, all you have to do is turn it on via your smartphone. • Even more data. Companies will have access to a huge amount of data that all of the connected items create. If the data is analysed well, more will be understood about customer trends and spends. • Knowing where everything is at all times. In the future, location tracking will be made much simpler. Internet-connected items will be geographically tagged which will save both money and time.

6. How the Internet of Things can transform your home • The interconnectivity of devices will help reduce your travel time to and from work, enabling you to get to and from work faster and to do activities in speedy time. In the future, interconnectivity will exist between all things making everything you do quick and efficient. • Remote mobile device management. All things can be controlled by your smartphone, remotely. Your house will lock itself with the help of your smartphone, your air con will switch on thanks to your smartphone. All is done remotely, managed outside the home. • Saves time. Your device will allow you to get things done quicker, get in and out of places faster, thus saving time and meaning you can do more with your day. Wireless sensors can detect when you walk into your local coffee shop, which tells the barista what it is you usually order, based on your order history. You can then purchase the item using your phone. Your phone will do everything for you. • Complex technology made simple. Think of all the devices you have connected to your smartphone and how complex each individual item is. Built together, as in interconnectivity, makes the whole complex world of technology simple. It all comes down to one device; your smartphone.

9. The Industrial Internet Of Things • Communication • The IIoT is a somewhat abstract concept as its applications are practically infinite. Imagine the way a flight path is monitored from the ground; the plane is able to send vital communications and information via digital communication, even without the intervention of the flight crew. These same measures have been applied to the way the manufacturing industry works, revolutionizing the world of engineering and manufacturing through digital communication. • Machine learning and machine to machine communication allow the IIoT to be possible. These processes enhance the industrial world, reducing human error and maximizing efficiency. While the IIoT has existed for years, a recent technological explosion of progress has occurred, allowing for the IIoT to be one of the most exciting fields of study for scholars around the world, on the cutting edge of technology. Think of the way 3D printing has changed the world. Now, imagine the processes that took 3D printing from an idea to a working possibility.

10. The Industrial Internet Of Things • Efficiency • The IIoT has made the world a more efficient place. From a simple perspective, it greatly reduces the risk of human error. Without the IIoT, the automation that has made daily life so much simpler and more convenient would be impossible. Prescriptions are filled automatically; text message reminders allow critical deadlines to be met; heart rates are monitored through wearable devices and the manufacturing world has been completely and utterly transformed. While technology has its inherent vulnerabilities and pitfalls, the science, safety and security of the IIoT are ever improving with time. Security vulnerabilities are easily identified and corrected, offering opportunities for learning and improvement. IIoT has also been proven to save on cost, energy and efficiency, resulting in greener, more environmentally manufacturing processes. • Robotics, machine learning and logistics • Without IIoT, advances in robotics would be virtually impossible. From military applications to machine learning, robotics would be utterly impossible without the communication facilitated by the IIoT. Other fields would grind to a halt without the IIoT. Everything from fleet management and logistics to shopping online would grind to a halt if simple messages were unable to pass from one device to another. From managing a supply chain to maintaining the security of an office, the IIoT changes everything it touches, allowing for information and analytics to be processed instantly, this allowing for information to be readily available at any given moment.

11. How the Industrial Internet of Things can transform your workplace  Increased productivity. If you’re a business owner, you will be able to record every aspect of the business from operations right down to office management. When all devices in the workplace are connected to one centralised system, it becomes much easier to control them. It also helps reduce the number of potential problems related to customers, everything is recorded through one system.  Increased efficiency. Again, everything is connected through one centralised system, so efficiency will go up. There will be fewer mistakes in your work and you will get it done in half the time.  Cheaper and greener. The centralised system can make devices switch to standby mode when the employees are not at work, and all unnecessary devices are deactivated. In addition to this, the room temperature controller ensures that daylight is let into the room when employees are there and when the business is closed, temperature and daylight is decreased.  Improves interactions among employees. A real presence can be created anywhere in the world as employees are remote. Also, video conferencing can take place from anywhere in the world, without the use of a fixed device. An app called the Comfy App enables employees to stay better connected and to manage and observe their workplace environment.

12. How the Industrial Internet of Things can transform your workplace • Travel. Business trips can be made more efficient by the use of internet- connected cars. Vehicle diagnostics can be made sense of and real-time traffic conditions can be recorded. The internet of things can be really helpful at airports to reduce travel waiting time by placing digital beacons around the place. These beacons show real time updates for everything from table reservations to airport shuttle schedules. • Smarter analytics. More data is available from every avenue. This makes strategy and customer experience more successful. Those industries in healthcare, industrial, retail and automotive areas will generate actionable information. • Energy costs. As interconnectivity between devices in the workplace increases, energy costs decrease. Devices turn on and off automatically as people leave and enter the workplace. • Security. Surveillance systems are activated which tell you who is at the door at all times. There are also smart doorbells and locks activated. • Smart lighting. Lights have turned wireless, enabling you to observe lighting that changes as employees leave and enter the building. It also helps you manage the amount of lighting around the workplace. • Digital Assistants. Take Alexa for Business for example. She can set room temperatures, attend virtual meetings, manage the workplace calendar and so much more. She is equipped with over 10,000 business skills that help you run your day smoothly and efficiently.
