INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT)
Kevin
Ashton (UK) is the father of the Internet of Things (IoT)which
describes the network of physical objects “things” that are embedded with
sensors, software and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging
data with other devices and systems over the internet. This subject is taught
in the core as well as add-on courses in our Elumalai Polytechnic College
for our Second Year and Third Year Diploma in Electronics Engineering, electronics and communication engineering
and computer science engineering
branch Students.
The
Internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing
devices, mechanical and digital
machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers
(UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring
human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
Efforts have been made in the form of Project Works in our Elumalai Polytechnic College to interface the IoT applications that are used to address many real-world issues like traffic congestion, city services, economic development, citizen engagement, and public safety and security. Smart cities often embed IoT sensors into the physical infrastructure, such as streetlights, water meters and traffic signals.
Use
of IoT is also exploding in the consumer sector. Our students at Elumalai
Polytechnic College are
designing the methodology to enable domestic appliances like Dishwashers, refrigerators, smart TVs, smart
watches, cars and trucks, heating and cooling systems, and fitness machines
through IoT.
