IoT is globally revolutionising logistics in areas such as supply chain monitoring, vehicle tracking, inventory management, safe transportation and cargo integrity monitoring to ensure high-level goals such as just-in-time delivery, supply chain visibility and product lifecycle transparency.

Smart cities collect data from IoT devices such as lights, sensors and meters, analyze it and use these insights to improve infrastructure, thus providing a higher quality lifestyles for their residents. The appliance of IoT technology ranges from smart buildings using data from elevators to reduce waiting time to smart grids to improve resource conservation.

Modern security systems can collect video footage from security cameras on a centralized platform to analyze it and improve security measurements. This can be combined with machine learning to carry out pattern recognizion and motion detection.

IoT is being used in the healthcare industry to monitor patients data remotely through IoT capable devices, thus maximizing the efficiency at which hospitals can operate as well as preventing health risks through early detection. Use cases range from doctors that can monitor dementia sufferers in their own home to connected insulin injectors that help manage blood sugar levels.

Manufacturing is one of the biggest industries that actively utilizes IoT technology. By gathering huge amounts of processing data from connected devices and machines such as precise voltage usage, manufacturing process can be optimized to increase productivity and cut down on costs.

The smart home market is exploding in the recent years with a rapidly increasing number of smart home devices that can be connected and used remotely. From smart refrigerators to smart cleaning bots and smart home security systems, almost everything can be connected and generates data that can be used.
