Application Of Internet of Things (IoT)
The extension of internet connectivity into physical devices and everyday objects embedded with electronics, internet connectivity and other forms of hardware (sensors).Those are the devices that can communicate and interact with others over the internet and they can be remotely monitored and controlled.It has been evolved due to the convergence into Real-time analytics , Machine learning ,commodity sensors and embedded systems.The larger part of automation in everything is the major concept of Internet of Things. There are various application of Internet of Things .some of them that comes under Top 10 are listed as follows.
The IoT which encompasses smart, connected products like smart phones and smart watches is a major contributing factor in this exponential increase in data. That’s because all these smart devices are constantly gathering data, connecting to other devices and sharing that data — all without human intervention
Everything has become smart now- Smart Home Smart city Smart devices Smart retail Smart chain
SMART HOME-Smart Home clearly stands out, ranking as highest Internet of Things application on all measured channels. More than 60,000 people currently search for the term “Smart Home” each month. This is not a surprise. The IoT Analytics company database for Smart Home includes 256 companies and startups. More companies are active in smart home than any other application in the field of IoT.
SMART CITY-Smart city spans a wide variety of use cases, from traffic management to water distribution, to waste management, urban security and environmental monitoring. Its popularity is fueled by the fact that many Smart City solutions promise to alleviate real pains of people living in cities these days. IoT solutions in the area of Smart City solve traffic congestion problems, reduce noise and pollution and help make cities safer.
SMART DEVICES-Wearables remains a hot topic too. As consumers await the release of Apple’s new smart watch in April 2015, there are plenty of other wearable innovations to be excited about: like the Sony Smart B Trainer, the Myo gesture control, or LookSee bracelet
The industrial internet is also one of the special Internet of Things applications. While many market researches such as Gartner or Cisco see the industrial internet as the IoT concept with the highest overall potential, its popularity currently doesn’t reach the masses like smart home or wearables do. The industrial internet however has a lot going for it.Another grewing up factor is Proximity-based advertising as a subset of smart retail is starting to take off.Governments are helping farmers to use advanced techniques and research to increase food production. Smart farming is one of the fastest growing field in IoT.Farmers are using meaningful insights from the data to yield better return on investment. Sensing for soil moisture and nutrients, controlling water usage for plant growth and determining custom fertilizer are some simple uses of IoT.
