3. Internet of Things
IoT – Internet of Things.
• Internet – communication through
network (wire, wireless, satellite, etc.)
• Things – electronic devices (mobile,
computer, sensor devices, etc.)
Internet of Things (IoT) is an
ecosystem of connected physical objects
that are accessible through the internet.

4. Why IoT ?
• Dynamic control of industry and daily life.
• Improves the resource utilization ratio.
• Integrating human society and physical
systems.
• Flexible configuration.
• Acts as technology integrator.

5. History
• The main concept of a network of smart devices was discussed
as early as 1982, with a modified Coca-Cola vending machine at
Carnegie Mellon University becoming the first Internet-
connected appliance, able to report its inventory and whether
newly loaded drinks were cold or not.
• The term Internet of Things was first used by Kevin Ashton in 1999.
• Refers to uniquely identifiable objects (things) and their virtual
representations in an Internet-like structure

6. Components of IoT
6
Smart Systems and Internet of Things
are driven by a combination of :
1) Sensors
2) Connectivity
3) People & Processes

7. 7
Best examples of IOT device
● Smart appliances - Maintenance of temperature
of a fridge from a mobile phone
● Wearables - Health monitoring over watch and
exchange of data to a tablet or Personal
computer

8. 8
● Connected Car - Performing actions in a car from
a remote location like switching on/off air
conditioner
● Smart homes - Controlling the home and
equipments from office over mobile wifi -
Switching on security cameras
Best examples of IOT device

Machines talk to
Machines

11. Application
• Business
• Education
• Entertainment
• Home
• Medical

12. Application

13. 13
Advantage
● Access information from anywhere at any time
on any device
● Improved communication between connected
electronic devices
● Transferring data packets over a connected
network saving time and money
● Automating tasks helping to improve the quality
of a business's services
● Reducing the need for human intervention.

14. Challenges
• Scalability
• Security
• Technical requirements
• Standardization of technology
• Software complexity
• E-Waste Management

15. Impact on Environment
• Wastage of precious metals in production of the
electronics
• Release of greenhouse gases in the process of
production of new electronic goods.
• Release of toxic contents from electronics on their
decay.
15

16. Impact on Environment
• Recycling in informal sector focuses on recovering
precious metals like gold and not disposing off the
electronics in a nonpolluting way.
• Unused e-waste goes directly into landfills and
incinerators and lead to the leaching of lead into
the groundwater. E.g. The cadmium from one
mobile phone battery is enough to pollute 600 m3
of water.
