IoT Integration
The internet of things (IoT) refers to all the interrelated devices that work via the internet. They can gather and transfer data over a wireless network independently. IoT integration is done to make independently designed applications and data work well together.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About IoT Integration
The IoT includes devices, such as smart automobiles, medical devices, solar panels, etc., that can gather important information and dispense it independently. For instance, most cars now alert drivers to fuel levels, tire pressure, overheating, etc. Medical devices can alert patients to a rise in blood pressure or irregular heartbeats. Even washing machines can sense the weight of a load and adjust the water level without human intervention. Businesses need to harness this technology and work to integrate these devices that are made by multiple manufacturers. For instance, the heating and cooling infrastructure in a building can be controlled by various smart items that include sensors if they are integrated well.
