IoT Application Development

WHAT IS THE INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)?

Simply put, an Internet of Things solution connects mobile phones, sensors, and devices together to transform data into much more valuable information. There are countless sensor-enabled objects communicating their status via the internet, which gives rise to smart networks with a host of innovative services, hardware, technologies, and web and mobile apps.

IoT application development enables you to gain more insight into your products using analytics and data processing to create new business models, generate more revenue, and deliver improved customer experiences.

HOW IT’S BEING APPLIED

Recent years have shown many advancements in IoT technology. More than just an industry buzzword, people are using IoT solutions in incredible ways to ensure human safety, environmental sustainability, and ease of living.

Technology is making integration increasingly expected in the things we buy, the services we depend on, and even what we wear. If you are ready to imagine your technology in homes and devices across the globe, we can help you get there with IoT application development services.

Transportation

Modern cars contain many sensors to create a safe riding experience. Tesla takes this approach two steps further by integrating software into their vehicles. Tesla monitors the overall vehicle system using the IoT solution, which allows engineers to develop enhancements which are delivered by software upgrades without requiring user interaction.

Farming

Precision agriculture IoT applications allow farmers to monitor multiple sets of data to optimize crop output and reduce waste in real-time. Fertilization and irrigation are customized by crop and location to create optimal growing conditions with the correct mixture of components.

Home

Lighting solutions, thermostats, smoke/CO detectors, safety devices and smart speakers are all examples of how our homes are now more connected than ever as a result of IoT systems. Combining these types of hardware with advanced software apps allows consumers to create a safe, comfortable and efficient experience at home through the use of IoT applications.

Retail

Retailers use devices connected to an IoT system to enhance control and quality of the customer experience they can provide. Technologies like beacons, custom mobile applications, wearable devices, smart fitting rooms, and RFID sensors transmit real-time IoT data that allows for companies to better predict consumer behavior and personalize the shopping experience.

Manufacturing

IoT platforms provide the manufacturing industry with access to data that helps companies work proactively. IoT applications allow manufacturing companies to identify the needs of their machines and take action before they break. Wearable IoT devices connected to an IoT system provide increased safety for employees. Real-time data collected via an IoT platform gives leadership increased visibility into daily operations.

Shipping & Logistics

IoT technologies allow businesses in shipping and logistics to keep trucks on the road and goods being delivered. Sensors on vehicles can transmit data back to internal systems to alert management to potential problems. Custom IoT applications make it easy for companies to schedule repairs or replacements around deliveries.

Internet of Things Advantages

Business Better

Organizations benefit from the application of IoT information to create advantages their competitors can’t while increasing efficiency.

Over the next five years, a majority of companies envisage IoT technology will help to trim expenses, transform how they do business and create new income streams. From designing platforms to improving operational efficiency to providing a safer work environment and connecting consumers’ hardware appliances, IoT applications create advantages that our clients should be thinking about.

Information vs Data

IoT devices generate data through connecting smart devices with sensors. This data is important but what is done with this data is what provides the real value to businesses and consumers. Information visualizes trends in data, business rules and abnormalities to create actionable responses.

Data

Information

Action
Room occupancy Room has been unoccupied for 2 hours Adjust temperature to automatically adjust energy consumption
Electricity usage Electricity spike is outside of normal range Regulate machinery to create a safe work environment
Soil moisture Moisture levels are lower than required for efficient growth Trigger irrigation system to ensure superior crop output

Personal Convenience

IoT devices and applications make life easier for end-users with features like: 

  1. Reminders when car maintenance is due
  2. Alerts when you forgot to lock your home
  3.  Apps to adjust temperature when your house is vacant to save on energy bills
  4. Warnings when moisture is detected in basements and crawl-spaces

Safety

IoT systems allows manufacturing companies to increase the safety at their facilities by:

  1. Remotely monitoring systems to remove the human element from dangerous areas
  2. Identifying flaws in materials to reduce risk of injury and waste
  3. Overseeing electrical systems to respond quickly in the event of an issue
  4. Using mobile and web apps to monitor employee health stats to ensure wellbeing and protection are priorities
