IoT can add value to the modern business world in many ways, redefining how businesses use devices in the workplace. IoT-enabled devices are equipped with advanced functionalities to autonomously exchange data over a network, communicating with each other in real-time, thereby automating tasks and...
In simple terms, the Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the digitally connected universe of smart devices. These devices are embedded with internet connectivity, sensors and other hardware that allow communication and control via the web. What is IoT? How Does IoT Work?
IoT devices can help businesses create more efficient systems. In a warehouse, for example, smart shelves can send an alert when inventory is running low to help you avoidstockouts. Or, if your company uses many IoT devices, you can use an IoT device management system to connect and manage...
How does IoT work? IoT ecosystems consist of web-enabled smart devices that collect data from the environment and process, send and act on that data. Embedded systems, such as processors, sensors and communication hardware, are used to collect, transmit, and act on data from the environment....
IoT device management platforms unify and simplify the remote management of IoT devices. These platforms enable businesses to work with different IoT devices from different vendors across geographical locations. You can automate most of the IoT device management tasks; from provisioning devices to their...
IoT devices are typically unmanned for much of a device’s life. While fleet management vendors exist, it is difficult to get this to work with a) the hardware selected and b) the operating system and software stack selected. Best case scenario: Select a software distribution method that ...
How does IoT device management work? The lifecycle of IoT device management involves a series of connected processes that simplify the deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of the connected devices. Here are the processes in how to manage IoT devices: Provisioning and authentication Provisioning ...
How do IoT platforms work? According to Pelino, organizations use IoT platforms -- or, as Forrester labels them,industrial internet of things software platforms-- to handle one or more of five major functions: connecting to the devices, securing them, managing them, supporting analysis of the ...
This is part 2 of our series on decoding the components of the IoT ecosystem/set-up. The data flow starts when sensors fetch raw data from your devices and send it to the IoT gateway, as explained in Decoding how IoT works :Sensor Networks and IoT Gateways. Here is what happens next....
If reports are to be believed, IoT devices breed almost 5 quintillion bytes of data per day. This massive amount of data is minutely broken down and analyzed and transmitted across the globe via multiple gateways. To protect this sensitive data from being misused, protocols like Bluetooth, Sig...
