What is the Internet of Things?

The Internet of Things is a concept about connecting any device, machine or object to each other and to the internet. This allows the transfer of information over a network without the interaction of a human.

For example, a piece of office equipment could monitor itself and notify you when there is a fault or it could automatically order more supplies when it’s running low.

This concept can bring endless opportunities and connections which could be highly beneficial in streamlining your business operations.

How does the Internet of Things affect businesses?

As the development of smart technologies continues to advance, we can expect more devices and machines to be interconnected to bring a more intuitive experience. But what does IOT mean for a business?

With more IOT devices and applications being developed, there will be more real-time data generated than ever before. This will allow businesses to take advantage of real-time data to further improve their products and services.

Benefits of IOT devices and IOT applications:

• Efficient maintenance. – With the integration of connected systems, you will be able to get real-time data on those systems and be able to tell which of your devices are likely to falter or need maintenance. This results in a reduction of maintenance costs as you can identify exactly which components are faulty.
• Enables smarter business operations. – The utilisation of IOT can help businesses to streamline their operations. For example, you could connect your P.O.S system to your warehouse for efficient management of inventory.  You are also able to collect data about how your customers are using your products and services and how they feel, which can empower your business decisions.
• Improves customer experience. – Integrating IOT devices to your business can improve customer experience in numerous ways. You can take advantage of IOT systems to identify problems and pro-actively resolve them with real-time data. Businesses can also use IOT to track deliveries and give customers accurate information of the location of their packages and the time needed to arrive.
