It is defined as a set of smart technologies that are designed to provide the consumer a faster, safer and smarter experience while shopping.

Use Case :

Beacons: These are low energy Bluetooth connections to automatically send push notifications directly to shoppers smart phones once they appear in the coverage area. It’s a small device that can be attached on walls. Through Beacon technology, retailers can easily reach their audience and provide an engaging experience at the same time collecting and analysing data about customer behaviour.

What is IIoT? It is a network of interconnected computing devices embedded in physical objects for the purpose of gathering and exchanging data, which is then applied in a business context to create operational savings and efficiencies.

Use Case :

Machine Monitoring: strong>Many multinational companies that works on Industrial Technology, uses smart sensor-based connectivity technology to monitor the performance of its low voltage induction motors. Each motor is fitted with a smart sensor that provides data about the motor’s condition and performance and suggest a replacement if necessary. IIoT technologies save manufacturers the time and travel costs associated with checking equipment on-site instead they can monitor performance from anywhere online.

It can be defined as a field where the technology is applied to the transportation infrastructure. It includes wide range of applications such as traffic and mobility management and different modes of transport.

Use Case :

Here is an interesting scenario of the real time application in London. Some train operators predict the loading of train passenger cars on their trips in and out of the city. They combine the data from ticket sales, movement sensors, and CCTV cameras installed along the platform. Analyzing this data, train operators can predict how each car will load up with passengers. When a train comes into a station, train operators encourage passengers to spread along the train to maximize the loading. By maximizing the capacity use, train operators avoid train delays.

It is the system where the technology is applied to areas where measuring environmental conditions that influence crop production to tracking livestock health indicators which enable the farmers to maximise yield and minimize expenses.

Use Case :

Smart agriculture helps in automated farming, collection of data from the field and then analyses it so that the farmer can make accurate decision in order to grow high quality crop. The field data are collected with the help of sensors, cameras, micro controllers, and actuators. Then the collected data are transferred via internet to the operator or the farmer for decision making.

According to Wikipedia, smart city is an urban area that uses different types of electronic data collection sensors to supply information which is used to manage assets and resource efficiently.

Use Case :

Energy conservation and efficiency are major focuses of smart cities. Some of the smart city solutions are waste management where track city bins in real time optimising routes for efficiency and cost reduction and smart irrigation where the water system is controlled remotely with soil and weather data allowing predictive analytics to reduce wasted water.

It is the system where it utilises the synergies in the energy system to maximise efficiency and reduce costs.

Use Case :

Smart energy System based on the research, it is found that IoT enabled energy management can increase efficiency and decreased malfunction. There are many ways in which the energy consumption can be tracked and maintained such as adding a sensor to monitor and monitoring the energy consumption rate.

Example Smart Meters: It is used in the analysis or detection of electricity loss in the process of distribution.
