Internet of Things
Benefits of IoT Solutions
The IoT technology allows you to be in direct contact with the things, even if they are remote or moving, and act immediately in order to increase efficiency and therefore productivity. Some advantages of the internet of things are listed here:
Internet of things and security
How secure is the internet of things? This depends on the client's required level of security and budget. The IoT device protection is only one aspect, but the security solutions for the network is another vast field. IoT development companies offer state of the art secure programming during production, locked access to the device internals and adapted level of encryption through hardware and software secure elements. This comes with a higher price and needs to be carefully evaluated.
IoT Applications
The field of IoT applications is vast and the number of IoT solution providers is increasing. The collection below collects just the most important verticals.
Internet of Things Success Stories
A facility management company manages hundreds of buildings spread over a large area and always needed people to regularly check the gaz, oil, and water meters for maintenance and billing.
How the facility management company started using internet of things
The company added internet of things sensors for each gas, oil and water meter and placed a gateway per site. This way they could improve their service and reduce costs. Further more they installed temperature and air quality sensors to analyze the buildings in order to improve their CO2 emission balance.

FAQ
IoT is the concept of connecting "things" to the Internet. Examples of things can be containers, bananas, cats and dogs, machines, toilets, traffic lights, birds and micro robots. The internet stands for any private or public network, wired or wireless, open or highly secured, which makes the things to be connectable.
The internet of things IoT enables to collect data from things and control them, even if they are remote or moving.
IoT enables companies to automate processes digitally and reduce labor costs. It also cuts down on waste and improves service delivery, making it less expensive to manufacture and deliver goods, as well as offering transparency into customer transactions.
An internet of things solution provides Hardware (end-devices with sensors and connectivity) and Software (Data processing and Algorithm).
In order to enable the acquisition of data, devices like sensors and gateways are a necessity to gather and forward the data directly to the cloud.
The internet of things helps people live and work smarter, as well as gain complete control over their lives. In addition to offering smart devices to automate homes, IoT is essential to business. IoT provides businesses with a real-time look into how their systems really work, delivering insights into everything from the performance of machines to supply chain and logistics operations.
