Internet of Things Architecture and Use Cases
Internet of Things Architecture and Use Cases IoT projects connect sensors, devices, and machines to collect data, trigger actions, and automate processes. A practical IoT architecture organizes these parts into layers: perception, network, processing, and application. This layered view helps teams plan for scale, security, and maintenance. Perception layer includes the devices that sense the world and, sometimes, act in it. Network and transport cover how data moves, using Wi‑Fi, cellular, LoRaWAN, Zigbee, or other links. Processing happens where data is stored and analyzed—either at the edge near the devices or in the cloud. The application layer delivers dashboards, alerts, and automation rules to people and systems. ...
