IoT best examples and applications include smart glasses and smart contact lenses in digital tech, digital twins and industrial safety in advanced manufacturing, ingestible sensors and activity tracking in bioengineering.
Across the world, these 10 smart cities are leading the pack with connectivity and the IoT to bring efficiencies in services and smartly manage growth, from improved infrastructure to better traffic and environmental monitoring.
These factories were called out by the Global Lighthouse Network for implementing IoT and technology to improve production. Every year the World Economic Forum's Global Lighthouse Network honors companies that use Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to make their operations more efficient, environment-friendly, and lower cost.
By 2050, 2 out of 3 people will live in cities that leverage technology. These “smart cities” will provide energy, water, sanitation, and other basic needs.
Noise-cancelling system with the wireless IoT relay taped on the room’s inside wall and the ear-device composed of a microphone, an anti-noise speaker, and a DSP board.
Accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies on the factory floor provides engineers with high-value data that can lead to improved productivity and operational efficiency, reduced waste, and better and faster decision-making—the ultimate goals of lean manufacturing. Lean was once mostly a manual process of visual inspection, data collection, and ...
IoT connectors promote network connectivity for transmitting data between field-level nodes and software systems. Here are five key trends that demonstrate how connectivity supports digitalization.
