The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network that connects objects and devices through sensors and software, allowing objects and devices to collect and exchange data with each other.
According to statistics in 2020, about 30.73 billion IoT devices were manufactured in the year. It is predicted that in 2025, this figure will increase to 75.44 billion.
The Internet of Things brings many optimal applications in the industry, while promoting more and more companies to participate in this new model to improve work productivity as well as optimize costs and profits.
One of the main IoT applications involves automated device management, allowing a centralized system to control and monitor all of the company's processes. Thanks to IoT, this data is transmitted to the industrial automation system to ensure overall control of machinery during the production process.
The telecommunications, oil and gas and electricity manufacturing industries have applied a lot from integrating IoT devices into remote control systems.
Volkswagen Group uses IoT to increase the efficiency and working time of the factory, improve the flexibility of production activities and increase the quality of cars.
In addition, IoT is also a smart home support solution, bringing convenience and ease to users around the world.
Smart home devices with Internet of Things technology will help control household items by voice or an application on smart control devices such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, etc.
In other words, smart people will know when to do certain actions and automatically do them and you don't need to worry about them at all.
Currently, wearables with extremely smart features have appeared in the world such as: wireless headphones, glasses, backpacks, super smart bracelets, ... and have exploded in markets around the world.
Google, Samsung, Apple are large companies that have invested heavily in the creation of smartwatches such as Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, ... Wearables with sensors and software to collect data and user information.
The prerequisite for these designs is extremely low capacity and compact size, high aesthetics.
IoT also opens up positive potential in the field of human health care.
With the emergence of IoT in healthcare, managers can access real-time patient data.
There are many healthcare apps by integrating with wearable devices like Apple Watch and other health tracking devices; these apps can send real-time patient data to caregivers, and caregivers can use this data to create and deploy better patient care management programs.
IoT is an important technology in daily life and it will continue to develop with increasingly strong technology development.
