Internet Of Things Is Changing the way Organizations Work

Internet of Things is the talk of the town these days and is popular at workplaces as well as at home. IoT as it is popularly known has impacted on how we live and work. It has changed the way things work. It has enhanced the workplace and business processes to be more productive and efficient. At a work environment, IoT has brought a great revolution and changed the way we live by saving time and resources and creating opportunities for innovation and growth. It connects the real world to the internet by a simple on/off switch and allows connection of the physical world to remote sensor data from a distance. It is an embedded system that is connected to the internet. It includes everything from cars, watches, refrigerators, machines to rockets and almost all other devices and machines one can think of.

IoT is continuously transforming the world we live and work in. Digitalization has invaded the workplace and provides customized solutions for improving products and services to deliver a better customer experience. Internet of Things and Digitalization goes hand in hand. It allows industries to develop and deliver better solutions.  IoT has already invaded the workplace in the form of security systems and attendance systems. Moreover, some workplace buildings have been equipped with temperature controllers and lighting systems that operate automatically on the number of people in a room at a given time. These smart energy distributors save a lot of energy by working autonomously. Small businesses are installing smart devices and machines hooked up to the internet to upgrade their performance. The prime challenge and threat that organizations face with such a system is that of security. As everything is connected to the internet, there is the threat of hackers and potential thieves to invade the data shared.  Small and mid-sized businesses need to take utmost care in deciding methods they are going to use to secure their data.

Industries and factories today have sensor-equipped machines that notify the workers about any problem as soon as it is detected. Surveillance systems at a workplace are upgraded and connected to locks and cameras for safety and better security. IoT also allows inventory to be tracked easily in real time. It notifies the users when a machine is going to breakdown so that it can be taken out of production for repair without hampering the work of other connected machines. This system keeps a constant check for businesses to work without stopping the operations when there is some interruption in the system. This prevents the company from losing a lot of time and money.

IoT allows multiple numbers of unconnected systems to connect to its end-to-end solutions thereby integrating these systems and enabling them to connect and exchange data amongst each other to make informed decisions. By connecting more devices together, industries will be able to work in an integrated manner and bring more efficiency and effectiveness in their operations.
