IoT
Prototyping
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly growing technology that allows devices to communicate with each other and exchange data via the Internet. This technology is opening new opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce costs and enhance people’s quality of life. There are many interesting IoT projects happening around the world that demonstrate the potential benefits of IoT.
One of the most promising IoT projects is that of smart cities. Smart cities use IoT technologies to collect and analyze data on transportation, energy, water and environment to make informed decisions and enhance citizens’ quality of life. For example, Internet of Things sensors can be used to monitor traffic and adjust traffic lights based on vehicle flow, thus improving traffic flow. In addition, IoT sensors can be used to monitor air pollution and trigger actions to improve air quality.
Another interesting Internet of Things project is that of smart agriculture. IoT sensors can be used to monitor soil, weather and crop conditions, allowing farmers to make informed decisions on how to cultivate their fields. For example, IoT sensors can be used to monitor soil moisture and trigger automatic irrigation only when needed, thus reducing irrigation costs and improving efficiency.
IoT is also used in healthcare to improve patient care. IoT devices such as wearable sensors can be used to monitor patients’ health and send data to doctors so they can make informed decisions on care. For example, wearable sensors can be used to monitor blood pressure and heart rate of patients, allowing doctors to identify any health problems early on.
Finally, IoT is also opening new opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs in industry. For example, IoT sensors can be used to monitor machinery and trigger preventative maintenance before breakdown occurs.
We build prototype IoT systems based on microcontroller devices for acquiring and transmitting sensor-generated data to web platforms or mobile applications.
