IoT, put simply, is anything that’s connected to a network (including the internet) or other machines and works autonomously without needing human intervention. All the other terms just describe things that are made possible by IoT. So Connected Home, Car, etc., just means that they are connected to a network in some way. Same for industrial. This is the less cool (but actually just as exciting) business element of IoT. This connectivity – made possible with an array of modern components and wireless protocols – simply enables designers to make equipment and machinery ‘smart’, so it can track, log, display, monitor and adjust itself accordingly.

So how can we help you to make your business smarter?
