Internet of Things refers to devices around the world that are connected to the internet and as long as it is connected to the internet, it can be transformed into an IoT. There are a lot of speculations surrounding this technology and it goes without saying that is will be the next giant in this industry.
Our buildings and all other constructions will be transformed into IoT devices with this technology. The objects will be connected to the internet and data shared among them. Imagine a bridge communicating with your vehicle to inform you of all possible routes you can use to avoid traffic, this will be amazing.

Providing varying range of data
Fluid temperatures, engine load, pressures and other operational parameters are the most sophisticated systems used currently. These provide varying range of data depending on the kind of software being used. Having the best system in data analytics will provide less downtime and enable more predictive decision making.
IoT is definitely an area to look forward to considering the fact that with it, you can almost do anything. With the imagination of things as an excavator sending out a message that it needs a new hydraulic valve, self driving service truck arriving at the job site and fabricating the part on its 3D printer turning out to be a reality king in this era.
Smart devices
Homes and offices with smart devices transform into something that is most relevant and can communicate. There are even more connected devices than people in the world thus more accurate to get information from objects. Energy usage can be monitored by use of thermostats, digital power meters and circuit breakers. this increases lifespan of any constructed building as facility managers address issues promptly before they become devastating and more expensive issues.
With IoT data, one can uncover certain material equipment or equipment that can have a longer lifespan. This helps in greater decision making and helps in making continuous improvements to execute more efficiently and be more profitable.
