3. AGRICULTURE
• IoT, connected devices, and automation find its application in agriculture, and as
such, tremendously improve nearly every facet of it.
• Farming has seen a number of technological transformations in the last decades,
becoming more industrialized and technology-driven.
• By using various smart agriculture gadgets, farmers have gained better control
over the process of raising livestock and growing crops, making it more
predictable and improving its efficiency.
• Smart agriculture, on the other hand, is mostly used to denote the application of
IoT solutions in agriculture.
• The Benefits of smart farming: How’s IoT shaping agriculture
• Technologies and IoT have the potential to transform agriculture in many aspects.

4. • there are 5 ways IoT can improve agriculture:
• Data, tons of data, collected by smart agriculture sensors.
• Better control over the internal processes and, as a result, lower production risks.
• Cost management and waste reduction thanks to the increased control over the
production.
• Increased business efficiency through process automation.
• Enhanced product quality and volumes.
• There are many types of IoT sensors for agriculture as well as IoT applications in
agriculture in general:
• Monitoring of climate conditions
• Greenhouse automation
• Crop management
• End-to-end farm management systems

5. WEARABLE
• Wearables enhance the quality of human life that cannot be achieved with the
smartphone alone and the users are showing an incredible interest towards in wearing
these devices practically.
• Smart watches, smart jewelry, smart glasses, skin patches, electronic garments and so
on, are commonly referred to as wearables.
• Wearable devices can sense, gather, store physiological data and improves the human
life quality which is not possible with smartphones alone.
• Wearables perform multiple micro-level tasks such as verifying incoming messages and
immediate processing of urgent data more naturally and conveniently.
• Wearables are capable of providing set of value-added services such as physical and
mental health monitoring indoor localization and navigation medical insurance
analytics, sport analytics, and financial payments.

7. HEALTHCARE
• The market for health monitoring devices is currently characterised by application-
specific solutions that are mutually non-interoperable and are made up of diverse
architectures.
• The IoT can be used in clinical care where hospitalized patients whose physiological
status requires close attention can be constantly monitor educing IoT-driven,
noninvasive monitoring.
• This requires sensors to collect comprehensive physiological information and uses
gateways and the cloud to analyze and store the information and then send the analyzed
data wirelessly to care givers for further analysis and review.
• These techniques improve the quality of care through constant attention and lower the
cost of care by eliminating the need for a care giver to actively engage in data collection
and analysis.

8. • In addition the technology can be used for remote monitoring using small, wireless
solutions connected through the IoT.
• These solutions can be used to securely capture patient health data from a variety of
sensors, apply complex algorithms to analyze the data and then share it through wireless
connectivity with medical professionals who can make appropriate health
recommendations.
• The links between the many applications in health monitoring are:
• gathering of data from sensors
• support user interfaces and displays
• network connectivity for access to infrastructural services
• low power, robustness, durability, accuracy and reliability.

10. SMART GRID NETWORK
• The grid refers to the electric grid, a network of transmission lines, substations,
transformers and more that deliver electricity from the power plant to your home or
business.
• The digital technology that allows two-way communication between the utility and its
customers, and the sensing along the transmission lines is the smart grid.
• Like the Internet, the Smart Grid consist of controls, computers, automation, and new
technologies and equipment working together, but in this case, these technologies work
with the electrical grid to respond digitally to our quickly changing electric demand.
• The Smart Grid represents an unprecedented opportunity to move the energy industry into
a new era of reliability, availability, and efficiency that will contribute to our economic
and environmental health.
• During the transition period, it will be critical to carry out testing, technology
improvements, consumer education, development of standards and regulations, and
information sharing between projects to ensure that the benefits we envision from the
Smart Grid become a reality.

13. Benefits of Smart Grid:
• More efficient transmission of electricity.
• Quicker restoration of electricity after power disturbances.
• Reduced operations and management costs for utilities, and ultimately lower power costs
for consumers.
• Reduced peak demand, which will also help lower electricity rates.
• Increased integration of large-scale renewable energy systems.
• Better integration of customer-owner power generation systems, including renewable
energy systems.
• Improved security.

14. SMART HOME
• In your smart home, many appliances are networked together, allowing one to access and
operate them through Energy Management System.
• An Energy Management System provides the ability to turn on heater or air conditioner
from work when about to go home or keep track of the energy use of specific appliances
or equipment—like tracking the energy use of pool pump, or seeing how much energy is
saved with your new Energy Star dishwasher etc.
• Smart appliances are also able to respond to signals from energy provider to avoid using
energy during times of peak demand.
• For instance, a smart air conditioner might extend its cycle time slightly to reduce its load
on the grid; while not noticeable to one, millions of air conditioners acting the same way
could significantly reduce the load on the power grid.
• In short Smart Home makes life comfortable as one can operate, manage and monitor any
appliance connected to internet through a single device.

17. Advantages:
• Smart Home provides peace of mind to homeowners, allowing them to monitor their
homes remotely, countering dangers such as a forgotten coffee maker left on or a front
door left unlocked.
• Beneficial for the elderly, providing monitoring that can help seniors to remain at home
comfortably and safely, rather than moving to a nursing home or requiring 24/7 home
care.
• Smart homes can accommodate user preferences. For example, as soon as one arrive
home, garage door will open, the lights will go on, the fireplace will roar and your favorite
tunes will start playing on your smart speakers.
• Home automation also helps consumers improve efficiency. Instead of leaving the air
conditioning on all day, a smart home system can learn your behaviors and make sure the
house is cooled down by the time you arrive home from work.

18. Disadvantages:
• Perceived complexity: some people have difficulty with technology or will give up on it
with the first annoyance. Smart home manufacturers and alliances are working on
reducing complexity and improving the user experience to make it enjoyable and
beneficial for users of all types and technical levels.
• For home automation systems to be truly effective, devices must be interoperable
regardless of who manufactured them, using the same protocol or, at least, complementary
ones. This is not completely possible yet. However, standard alliances are partnering with
manufacturers and protocols to ensure interoperability and a seamless user experience.
• Security: If hackers are able to infiltrate a smart device, they could potentially turn off the
lights and alarms and unlock the doors, leaving a home defenseless to a break-in. Also,
hackers could potentially access the homeowner's network, leading to worse attacks or
data exfiltration.
