History and Development

Given that IoT is an advanced technology that is capable of transferring data over a network with easy interaction, the future of its development is very promising. People's daily life can be optimized and simplified with intelligent sensors and smart internet-based equipment.Initially, the internet itself became famous in 1989. Then in 1990, a researcher named John Romkey made a device that was then classified as sophisticated. The device is a toaster that can be turned on or off via the internet.

Then in 1994, someone named Steve Mann created WearCam, and in 1997 Paul Saffo briefly explained his discoveries about sensor technology and its future. It was only in 1999 that Kevin Ashton created the concept of the Internet of Things. This Kevin is the Director of Auto IDEntre from MIT. In the same year, namely 1999, a machine whose system was based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) was found globally.

Well, this discovery was the beginning of the popularity of the IoT concept. People, especially technology experts, are competing to develop their technology according to the IoT concept. Then, in 2000, the well-known brand LG announced its plans to create and release IoT technology, namely smart cabinets. This smart cupboard is able to determine if there is food stock that needs to be replenished in the cupboard. And, in 2003, the previously mentioned FRID, began to be placed in an important position in the technology development period in America, through the Savi Program. In the same year, retail giant Walmart began deploying RFID in all of its store branches available in various parts of the world.

IoT became popular again in 2005, when well-known media such as The Guardian and the Boston Globe began citing various scientific articles and the IoT development process. Until 2008, various companies agreed to launch IPSOs to market IP use in networks for “Smart Objects” which also aims to enable IoT itself.

 

Various Fields of IoT Application

Areas of application of the Internet of Thing:

Agriculture

There are various applications of IoT in the agricultural sector. Some of them are collecting data about temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind speed, pest attack, and soil load. These data can be used to automate agricultural techniques. Then, it can also be used to make decisions based on available information in order to improve quality and quantity, minimize risk and waste, and reduce the effort required to manage plants.

For example, farmers can now remotely monitor soil temperature and humidity, and even apply data obtained by IoT for more precise fertilization programs.

Energy

A large number of devices that consume energy (such as switches, electrical outlets, lights, televisions, etc.) can now be integrated with internet connectivity. This integration allows machines or networks to communicate in balancing electricity generation and energy use more efficiently and effectively.

This device can also allow remote control access from the user, or it can also be managed from a single center via a cloud-based interface. In addition, you can also activate functions such as scheduling (eg to turn on/off the heating machine, control the oven, change the lighting conditions from bright to dim to dark, and so on).

So with IoT in this area, systems can assemble and act on information related to energy and power to increase the efficiency of electricity production and distribution.

Environment

Environmental monitoring applications from IoT usually use sensors to help realize environmental protection. What is the example like? The application is for example by monitoring the quality of air or water, atmospheric or soil conditions, it can even include monitoring of wildlife and their habitats.

Moreover, IoT can be used in disaster management such as an early warning system for tsunamis or earthquakes. With this system, it will be able to make humans able to avoid negative things. Interestingly, IoT devices in this case have a very wide geographic reach and are able to move much faster.

Home Automation

IoT devices can also be used to monitor and control mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems used in various types of buildings (for example, industry or your home as a residence). This IoT tool or development can also monitor energy use in real-time to reduce energy consumption. Not only that, it can even monitor its residents.

Example? As soon as you enter the house at night, the lights come on. Then once you get into a sleep schedule, the lights will turn off automatically. In the morning, your garden will be watered by an automatic sprinkler. Likewise with your refrigerator, which can order your own food stock when it runs out. Everything can be integrated into a smart home system.

Medical and Health

In the world of medicine and health, IoT will be developed continuously. In fact, later in the future, all your health records can be transferred directly to medical personnel or hospitals. The data that can be detected and sent such as heart rate, blood sugar level, and so on. Your smartphone/personal cell phone will become a sophisticated health monitoring tool and of course it can really help you.

Existing IoT devices can even provide alerts when your health is declining or provide treatment advice and even make appointments with doctors.

Actually several advanced IoT technologies have been developed and applied in this field. For example, a smart bed that can automatically notify the doctor/nurse when the patient is about to get out of bed etc.

According to a 2015 report from Goldman Sachs, this kind of medical device could save the country from excessive health budgets.

Transportation

IoT can help humans in the integration of communication, control, and information processing in various existing transportation systems. The application of IoT is indeed constantly expanding to various aspects of the transportation system. Not only the engine technology, namely vehicles, but also infrastructure, as well as alluding to the function of the driver/user.

The dynamic interactions that occur between these components come from a transportation system. The system enables inter- and intra-vehicle communication, more effective traffic control because it is classified as intelligent, smarter parking, logistics and fleet management, vehicle control, and also related to safety factors and road assistance.

With this, it is increasingly emphasized that Verbindtech Machinery will increasingly utilize the understanding of the Internet of Things in producing products, so that the effectiveness, maximum and accuracy of results will be obtained by clients The more clients can get the desired satisfaction, then Verbindtech Machinery can grow.
