IoT Technology
IoT (Internet of Things) is generally defined as a network of physical objects that transfer data over a network without requiring human interaction, but even this is limited in scope.
IoT (Internet of Things) Background
IoT (Internet of Things) is an evolutionary step from M2M, this tech started earlier with the Connected Device. For over 20 years now, people have been connecting devices to toggle them on or off, gather information, or engage in other interactions remotely.
Use Cases To Integrate IoT Technology
Temp, humidity, water, motion detection, and carbon monoxide are only the beginning of what how companies are choosing to integrate IoT technology. Voltage/current meters, light, pressure, on/off, open/close, seat occupancy, ultrasonic, liquid levels, are also possible uses.
Health Care: Medical biometrics, heartrate, O2, EKG/ECG, hydration, sleep quality, telehealth, environmental monitoring.
Food Services: Food Temp and safety, Remote/Advanced ordering, Self Serve sensors in foodservice.
Facility Management: Environmental sensors to both take on some of the daily tedious manual tasks as well as helping in avoiding/mitigating major issues.
