IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the process of connecting physical things to the internet to benefit from the data they can provide and to control them remotely.

IoT devices collect and send data to the cloud that is then used by  applications to gain new insights and make smarter decisions (e.g. predictive maintenance of factory equipment, medical data from patients, etc.). The server sends commands and data back to the devices and updates devices (e.g. a power plant changes the way electricity is distributed throughout the grid, or an automobile manufacturer sends a software update to a car). The devices perform actions based on local or cloud-based decisions, increasingly involving Artificial Intelligence -to speed the process (e.g. a car automatically applies the breaks when its AI detects a child-shaped obstacle, or a door at a remote facility locks when the central server detects all employees have left the building).
