The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices,

mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with
unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without
requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

A thing in the internet of things can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a
farm animal with a biochip transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to
alert the driver when tire pressure is low or any other natural or man-made object
that can be assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address and is able to transfer data
over a network.

Increasingly, organizations in a variety of industries are using IoT to operate


more efficiently, better understand customers to deliver enhanced customer service,
improve decision-making and increase the value of the business.
How does IoT work?

An IoT ecosystem consists of web-enabled smart devices that use embedded systems,
such as processors, sensors and communication hardware, to collect, send and act on
data they acquire from their environments. IoT devices share the sensor data they
collect by connecting to an IoT gateway or other edge device where data is either
sent to the cloud to be analyzed or analyzed locally. Sometimes, these devices
communicate with other related devices and act on the information they get from one
another. The devices do most of the work without human intervention, although
people can interact with the devices -- for instance, to set them up, give them
instructions or access the data.
