I o T – T H E I N T E R N E T O F T H I N G S
IoT is a term that represents a collectionof ideas, devices, and processes.
Each thingis represented by a device, sensor, asset, or machine.
These things are usually working together to create larger solutions by
sending and reacting to data from an ecosystem.
