The Internet of Things (IoT) is like a magical network that connects our world. Imagine if your everyday objects such as your fridge, your watch or even your car could talk to each other and exchange data. This is exactly what IoT makes possible. These smart things are equipped with sensors, software and other technology to be connected via the internet.
Where can I find IoT?
In our homes, IoT can make our lives easier and more convenient. For example, you can turn up the heating when you’re out and about so that it’s nice and warm when you get home. Or your fridge could remind you to buy milk because it knows it’s running low.
IoT can be life-saving in the healthcare sector. Wearables such as fitness trackers or smart watches monitor our vital functions and send this data directly to the doctor. In this way, health problems can be recognized and treated at an early stage.
IoT is causing a revolution in industry. Our KORIMAT autoclaves are also networked with each other and can work more efficiently. Cooking protocols are sent directly from the appliance to the respective e-mail.
Agriculture also benefits from the IoT. Smart sensors in the soil measure moisture and nutrient levels and provide farmers with precise information on when and how much irrigation or fertilization is required.
All these networked devices offer many advantages. They help us to work more efficiently, save costs and make better decisions. The number of IoT devices is growing rapidly. Today, there are already over 7 billion networked devices. Experts believe that this figure will rise to 10 billion by 2020 and 22 billion by 2025. This development shows how great the potential of the IoT is and how it can permanently change our lives and various industries.
