Prologue 

We are in an era where the need for better connectivity is the paramount force driving our technological innovation and evolution. The Internet of Things, abbreviated as IOT, has now started acting as the bridge that is filling the gap between the physical and digital worlds.

IOT is transforming our approach to interaction with different objects and the surrounding environment. From smart devices to smart homes and industrial automated network systems, it is increasing its presence and the impact on our lives, thinking, and working styles. 

Still, there are various questions hanging around about IOT, its relevance, its impact, use cases, and a lot more. Let’s unravel the answers related to them.

Internet Of Things: An Overview 

The Internet of Things is the arrangement of interconnected devices, elements, or appliances embedded with sensors and software networks that receive, process, exchange, and respond to information without the support of human intelligence. 

This ranges from simple home appliances to critical technological machinery and systems. Basically, it is the fusion of the physical realm with digital elements, which provide us with seamless connectivity and responsive automation. 

E.g., smart thermostat gadgets used to be installed in houses for maintaining temperature at a certain level. 

Building Blocks Of IOT: How This Technology Works 

To get insights about the workings of this technology, we have to dig deep into its building blocks. A typical IOT device or element is developed and works as a functional unit using four main foundational components.They are;

Sensors: The Eyes and Ears of the IOT They collect data from their physical surroundings, which helps IOT devices get information and data they need to take further actions. Some examples of these sensors are thermostats for temperature, motion sensors like cameras, and GPS modules. 

Actuators: The Decision Makers of the IOT: They process the collected data and facilitate IOT devices to take actions based on that particular data. These actions included adjusting configurations, triggering threat alerts, etc. 

Communication Protocols: The Backbone of the IOT They enable the transfer of data between devices and the central system. Their main task is to assure seamless connectivity over any connected platform, like wi-fi, Bluetooth, or mobile networks. 

Cloud Platforms: The Storehouse of the IOT They grant an infrastructural framework for collecting, analyzing, and screening the large amount of data generated by these devices.

At Prilient, we are specialized in providing top-notch cloud platform services that are customized to meet your cloud computing needs for your IOT devices with:

IOT In Industrial Domain 

The industrial tech arena has not been left untouched by the impact of IOT. Various domains have started to be embedded by these devices and their affiliated technology. Let’s go through some of them;

  1. Asset Tracking and Management: It can perform real-time tracking and management of resources. This can be beneficial for better resource utilization and improved productivity. 

  2. Predictive Maintenance: IOT devices embedded in machine systems can monitor performance efficiency, which will help in identifying potential threats and enhancing maintenance. 

  3. Supply Chain Optimization: IOT-embedded supply chains can monitor the status of goods and provide real-time data, which can minimize structural delays. 

  4. Remote Monitoring and Control: IOT devices empower operational incharges to monitor and control operations from anywhere, which can enhance safety and agility in the system. 

The usage of IOT-enabled systems in the industry requires an application framework for embedding sensors and other devices with it.

IOT In Our Daily Lives 

The influence of IOT broadens and is not limited to the tech-arena, but also impacts our daily lives with: 

  1. Smart Home Automation: Devices like smart lighting systems, smart cameras, smart electric appliances like washing machines and refrigerators, etc. are all used for smart home automation based on this very technology.

  2. Health Wearables: IOT-enabled fitness devices like health trackers and smartwatches monitor our lifestyle, sleeping patterns, and eating patterns to provide wellness data to their users. 

  3. Virtual Assistant Appliances: Personal assistance appliances like Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant implement IOT technology for their responsive functions over human command. 

  4. Smart Transportation: Smart cars embedded with driverless features use IOT for real-time traffic surveillance, fleet management, etc. to optimize safety and efficiency. 

Benefits of IOT.

  1. Improves efficiency by optimizing the system process while minimizing human intervention.

  2. Saves costs by helping reduce energy, monitoring, and operational expenditures. 

  3. provides unique experiences with personalized products and services. 

  4. Promotes interconnected ecosystems, which empowers new business opportunities and innovations. 

  5. Better safety features for your systems. 

Challenges And Security Concerns 

IOT is showing us glimpses of advanced connectivity with better upgrades, but there are also some challenges awaiting us. The major ones are: 

  1. Privacy Risks: The basic workings of these devices and technology are based on collecting huge amounts of data related to the user and his surroundings, which raises serious concerns related to data misuse and breaches of privacy. 

  2. Regulatory Compliance: These devices are developing at a rapid pace, which is proving challenging in safeguarding compliance with data protection regulations. This is a serious concern for maintaining the reliability of IOT embedded devices. 

  3. Cybersecurity Threats: The use of new-age software on such devices also leads to their susceptibility to cyber attacks like malware infection, encryption malfunctioning, DDoS, etc., which can be very harmful for both individuals and enterprises. 

We understand the importance of fully assimilated cybersecurity services to reinforce your IOT devices’ data against cyber threats.

Our security experts are committed to providing comprehensive cyber security coverage against all structured and unstructured potential threats to your devices. You can contact us for further information. 

Conclusion 

The Internet of Things is a new milestone in the way we connect and react with our outer surroundings. It has not only improved our convenience but also upgraded the surveillance system in the industrial domain. 

Having said that, the progress towards a safer and more revolutionized approach to it needs dedicated efforts to mitigate security challenges that will come together with increased adoption of this technology.
