WHAT IS IOT ?
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of interconnected devices, sensors, and objects that are capable of collecting and exchanging data over the internet without human intervention. It bridges the gap between devices, data, and decision-making so businesses can automate, monitor, and control equipment remotely. Its benefits apply across diverse verticals—from manufacturing units to retail, and everything in between.

How IoT Transformed Businesses?
Before
Connectivity
Manual processes and isolated systems, lead to inefficiencies and siloed data.
Facilitate connectivity between systems, people, and processes for data exchange and collaboration.
Limited Insights
Businesses lacked visibility into operations and customer behaviors
Businesses leverage IoT-generated data for actionable insights, enabling informed decision-making and predictive analytics
Maintenance challenges
Equipment maintenance lead to costly downtime and slow operations.
IoT-enabled predictive maintenance reduces downtime and extends the lifespan of equipments
Process
Tedious manual process tasks such as data collection, monitoring, and analysis
Automate routine processes and improving operational efficiency
Security
Inadequate security measures lead to vulnerable cyber threats and data breaches.
Robust security with encryption and authentication to protect data and devices
Data collection
Data is collected and stored in disparate systems and databases, making it difficult to access and integrate
Integrate data from various sources with a unified view of operations and enabling seamless data exchange between systems & devices
