Internet of Things: From Sensors to Systems
Internet of Things: From Sensors to Systems Today, billions of devices connect to networks around the world. From tiny sensors in a factory floor to smart meters in a home, IoT turns physical signals into digital data. This data helps people and organizations make better decisions, save energy, and offer new services. A practical view of IoT has layers. At the bottom are sensors and actuators that sense conditions or control actions. Next sits the gateway or edge device, which can filter and summarize data. The cloud or on‑premise platform stores and analyzes information, and the applications present insights to users or machines. Data often travels in small packets, with edge processing to reduce latency and bandwidth needs. ...
