What is IoT?

• The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network
connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data.

• The most important features of IoT include artificial intelligence, connectivity, sensors, active engagement, and small device use.

• The internet of things (IoT) has found its
application in several areas such as connected
industry, smart-city, smart-home, smartenergy, connected car, smart agriculture, connected building and campus, health care, logistics, among other domains


IoT − Advantages
• Improved Customer Engagement
• Technology Optimization
• Reduced Waste
• Enhanced Data Collection

IoT – Disadvantages
• The potential that a hacker could steal confidential information also increases
• If there’s a bug in the system, it’s likely that every connected device will become corrupted
• Since there’s no international standard of compatibility for IoT, it’s difficult for devices from different manufacturers to communicate with each other.
• Data management will be challenging
