The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of physical objects embedded with electronics and sensors that enable data collection and exchange. It enhances interdependence among humans and devices, improving customer engagement, technical optimization, and reducing waste. Examples of IoT applications include home automation systems, smart thermostats, smart metering, remote health monitoring, and electronic toll collection systems.

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

3.  IoT is a giant network of connected devices-all of
which gather and share data about how they are used and
the environments in which they are operated.
 IoT is trying to expand the interdependence in human. ie
interact, contribute and collaborate to things.
 For example, Refrigerator’s sensor & Air conditioners
gather the data regarding the outside temperature and
accordingly adjust its temperature.

5.  COLLECTION
Devices and Sensors are collecting data everywhere
COMMUNICATION
Sending Data and Events through networks to some
Destinations
 ANALYSIS
Creating Information from the Data
 ACTION
Taking Action based on the Information and Data

6. BENEFITS
 Improved Customer Engagement
IoT improves customer experience by automating the
action
 Technical Optimization
IoT has helped a lot in improving technologies and
making them better
 Reduced Waste
IoT provides real-time information leading to effective
decision making and management of resources
