Internet of
Things(IOT) is the common buzzword we hear every day. It’s a wave of change which
will impact not only how we live but also how we work. The 21st
century insight is that everything that can be connected will be connected.
That’s the objective of IOT. As Gartner puts in, the Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects that contain embedded
technology to communicate and sense or interact with their internal states or
the external environment. Basically it brings in data, connectivity, sensors
and devices together to make Internet a lattice of things which cooperate,
interact and even performs task intelligently.
The IOT can impact
the Indian economy too-
·
AGRICULTURE – India is predominantly an agro based economy as majority of population
is engaged in it. IOT can equip agriculture by creating a network of connected
informatics, enabling real-time information on weather, monitoring water
level of rivers for flood alert, update in soil fertility and pH balance and
estimate the market demand for seasonal crops. IOT can also use sensors
maintain storage condition to prevent spoilage of crops.
·
HEALTH – Gone are those days
where patients used to stand in queue for long hours. The healthcare is
equipped with smart machines which connects people and facilities like
diagnosis, fitness, monitoring post illness etc thus saving our time, money and
effort. It ensures P2M (Person to machine) relationship for well being and be
accessible from remotest corner.
·
SMART CITIES- IOT will facilitate building smart cities by
engaging multiple “smart” services like intelligent traffic control, public
safety surveillance, parking management, automated building resource management,
Wi -fi service to make our lives better.
·
MANUFACTURING- The manufacturers can employ sensors and other
software solutions to monitor plant and industrial operations continuously
through automation. Moreover, IOT can help these units to track demand for
their products and plan productions accordingly with data insights.
·
ENVIROMENT- IOT will help in the pursuit of making smart
environment by implementing programs like solid waste management using
predictive analytics, monitoring on air and water quality, checking industry
waste and pollution paving way for a safe environment. It can also provide real
time alerts on voltage and energy consumption.
The Government of India has a planned target to
create an IoT industry in India worth USD 15 billion by 2020. The government is
pursuing the scheme Digital India
aggressively and it has partnered with NASSCOM, DEITY along with TCS, Intel,
Amazon Web Services and FORGE Accelerator to establish a Centre for Excellence in
Bangalore. This institution will foster skill development and innovation in IOT
technology. The GOI is also planning to develop IOT products specifically to
suit Indian needs.
