  2. AIoT involves embedding AI technology with different IoT components. Essentially, the combination of AI and IoT is one of the significant keys to accelerate technological development and services in the digital domain. Its objective is to rapidly increase operational efficiency, improve human-machine interactions, and even upgrade data management and analytics. Here’s a quick rundown of the roles played by both technologies and how they develop a symbiotic relationship with each other. Internet of Things (IoT) It refers to a system that extends the internet to various objects, sensors, and devices (things) to collect and share data from their environments with the help of other devices or software programs. IoT aims to connect machines and objects. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Artificial Intelligence thrives on data. It is all about learning and automation using a range of statistical and computational techniques. It refers to a system capable of learning from data or performing tasks typically associated with intelligence similar to humans. AI technologies comprise machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP) and voice and face recognition. To be more precise, AI brings intelligence to machines and objects. Together, AI and IoT technologies create intelligent, connected systems, where AI functions as a brain to IoT’s body. The IoT devices collect and transmit data from multiple sources to support the learning process involved in AI to carry out automation. AI brings machine-learning and decision-making power to IoT systems, enhancing data management and analysis with massive productivity gains. When combined with AI, IoT devices get additional capabilities like learning from user interactions, service providers, and other relevant devices in the network. They are adjustable to new inputs and changes in the environment and execute the tasks without any manual intervention. How do Artificial Intelligence of Things-enabled devices work? As IoT networks are increasing rapidly across every industry, an ample amount of unstructured machine data also exists. The rising amount of human-oriented and machine-generated information develops the need for AI support to handle unstructured data analytics. The data generated from IoT-supported systems is essential to serve corporate needs and solve the functional problems associated with product lifecycle management. AI and IoT comprise similar interconnected components. When these two technology sets go hand-in-hand, they become mutually beneficial and add value to each other. AI adds value to IoT due to machine learning and decision-making processes, while IoT adds value to AI due to data exchange, signaling and connectivity. 2/7

  3. AIoT exhibits the need for interoperability of devices (chipsets), software (programs and operating systems) and platforms. As earlier, AI implementations were monolithic with vertically designed solutions, they require APIs to make the devices, software and platforms highly interoperable. Following are the sequential steps of any AIoT enabled solution. LeewayHertz Step 1: Data Collection Data collection is an initial stage, where the data is collected using sensors. These sensors are installed in IoT devices. A single device may incorporate multiple sensors for managing the different types of data. It is possible to connect various sensors to a single device for collecting different kinds of data. For example, a device may include multiple sensors like GPS, camera, accelerometer for data collection. Step 2: Data Transmission and Storage Once the data is collected, it is further transmitted and stored in the cloud due to its high volume. Cloud storage minimizes the overall cost of storage because organizations don’t need to spend a tremendous amount on hardware installation for data storage. The stored data is further used for processing and analysis. Step 3: Data Processing The stored data in the cloud is used for processing. Data processing involves different phases like data extraction from the cloud, data cleaning and making it anomalies-free, data conversion into a standard format and applying algorithms for deriving insights. Step 4: Data Prediction After processing the data, the machine learning algorithms help in predicting future events. Once the relevant models are generated, it becomes easier to make predictions based on obtained results. For example, clustering models predict image patterns, anomaly detection models predict the possible faults, text-based models allow text classification and entity recognition. 3/7

  4. Step 5: Actionable Insights After making the predictions, the eventual step for machines is to take actions as per the generated insights. Insights and advanced dashboards assist in aligning business goals, fine-tune processes and creating future strategies. The data visualization tools like Tableau and Microsoft Power BI effectively visualize massive data having millions of data points. Data points and predictions help take real-time actions. For example, visual plotting is beneficial to create the reports in detail. What are the benefits of AIoT?
