What is iot
• The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices,
mechanical and digital machines, objects, people that are provided with
unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without
requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
• IoT is able to interact without human intervention. Some preliminary IoT
applications have been already developed in healthcare, transportation, and
automotive industries. IoT technologies are at their infant stages; however,
many new developments have occurred in the integration of objects with
sensors in the Internet. The development of IoT involves many issues such as
infrastructure, communications, interfaces, protocols, and standards. The
objective of this presentation is to give general concept of IoT.

Why IOT matters
• When something is connected to the internet, that means that it can
send information or receive information, or both. This ability to send
and/or receive information makes things smart, and smarter is better
• Let’s use smartphones again as an example. You can listen to any song
in the world, but not because your phone has every song stored on it.
It’s because every song in the world is stored somewhere else (that
place is known as “the cloud”), and your phone can request a song,
and receive information to stream it.
• In the Internet of Things, all the things can be put into three categories:
• Sensors that collect information and then send it.
• Computers that receive information and then act on it.
• Things that do both.

Collecting and Sending Information
• Sensors can measure temperature, motion, moisture, air quality, light, and almost anything else you can
think of. Sensors, when paired with an internet connection, allow us to collect information from the
environment which, in turn, helps make better decisions.
• RECEIVINF AND ACTING ON INFORMATION
• We’re all very familiar with machines acting on input information. A printer receives a document and
then prints it. A garage door receives a wireless signal and the door opens. It’s commonplace to
remotely command a machine to act. The real power of IoT arises when things can both collect
information act on it.
8. Barrier for automation in mining industries
• Mining and instrumentation automation is the two
different stream at present they are like north and
south pole of earth.
• Syllabus of mining student is not like that.
• Bridge course in not available.
9. What is the Solution
• Modify the syllabus, add introduction of automation
technology in syllabus
• Field visit to other automation industries
• Bridge course for mining and automation industries like
“Medical Electronics”
• Make a forum of mining , electronic and IT persons , and
discuss the problem with them.
• Collaboration with automation company.
