Currently, the textile sector is facing a new challenge that can change the functionality of our garments. How can it be otherwise? We talk about connectivity with clothing. We open another section of interconnected elements to what we call the Internet of things. In this post, we will learn about the implications of the IoT in the textile sector, what it can bring us and what it will be like in the future.

What is the Internet of things the Internet of Things (IoT) describes a network of physical objects embedded with sensors, software, and other technology to connect and exchange data with other devices over the Internet. We can find devices such as light bulbs or vacuum cleaners, or more sophisticated such as refrigerators, ovens or coffee makers, that are connected to the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth of the home network and offer intelligent functionalities.

The distinction of intelligence in textile materials the use of the Internet of things in clothing improves our quality of life on a day-to-day basis through technology and its various functionalities. Bright clothing collects information from the person wearing it and the environment. We must bear in mind that there are three types of smart garments according to the functions they perform:

Passive intelligent They are those garments that can detect the user’s activity and various environmental parameters. It has sensors to collect data. active smart they are garments that incorporate functions that can respond to environmental conditions and the wearer’s activity. In addition to sensors, it allows the integration and activation of other parts.

Very intelligent they are garments that detect, react and adapt autonomously to the environmental conditions and the state that the user manifests. These garments are connected to other devices to complete and optimize those functions. Fashion and sports are connected currently, garments and even brands are dedicated solely to manufacturing intelligent textile articles.

The garments are connected to our mobiles, tablets, computers or virtual assistants to offer us digital functions that cover a generated need. The main challenge in the textile market is to ensure that the garments have these materials integrated without the garment gaining weight or losing qualities that it would have without being intelligent. Another aspect closely related to this is the connectivity capabilities of the garment or the battery life of its electronic components.

We are aware of the implications of the IoT in the textile sector and the sports sector, where for a few years now, we have been finding more intelligent devices that offer more detail about the sporting action we carry out. We can already find bright socks that record the type of footstep we make, the sweating or the speed at which we make the physical effort. Technologically speaking, the first intelligent shoes that recorded physical exercise were far away, and you had to connect to a computer to obtain those results.

Future of IoT in the textile industry although the IoT in the textile industry is not yet as developed as in other smart devices, everything indicates that it will play a fundamental role in the future. In most cases where textile garments are already designed, they could have a better impact in terms of sales. These garments are not ready for mass consumption due to their manufacturing cost and the limitations of electronic components (battery and usability).

However, in other sectors, the use of connected textile garments is closer. The sports and security sectors are leading the way towards the personalization of garments. A personalization whose main objective is to optimize the use we make of them to gain safety, efficiency and quality of life. We have just seen how IoT will be in the textile sector and that it contributes to the future of a more intelligent and efficient world. Therefore, if you are part of a company, the best thing to do is to adapt to all these changes happening to us, or your processes will become obsolete over time.

When we talk about Agile, solutions like Jira and Scrum come to mind, and when we talk about DevOps, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and a long etc., come to mind. However, Agile and DevOps are not only methodologies and technologies; they are a cultural change within an organization, focusing on the client and their satisfaction, thanks to the delivery of continuous value to the user and market.

What Is DevOps

Agile solves organizationally as a team iteratively and incrementally delivers new features, fostering collaboration with self-organizing and multidisciplinary teams. While DevOps resolves planning, development, delivery, and operations through process automation and a cultural change based on requirements gathering, bug tracking, visual project evolution, TDD, testing, continuous integration of changes, etc.

Why DevOps

The purpose is to reduce the time to market, or time to market, and test the demand for these characteristics, obtaining the following advantages for customers:

  • Continuous feedback and validation that the “features” offered are meeting expectations.
  • Reduction of efforts in customer support.
  • Reduction of failures in deliveries.
  • Greater agility to respond to changes.

A Practical Example Of Benefits For The Project And The Client

As you can see, Agile and DevOps focus on the customer and user, and our software product meets their real needs by delivering continuous value. I want to talk about a practical and evolving case. Integra’s IoT department took the risk of applying this cultural change. How it has been achieved has been by attacking from various points.

  • Training in good software practices, system architectures, Clean Code, QA Automation, Domain Driven Design (DDD), Scrum, etc.
  • Automation of development processes thanks to Azure DevOps, since it allows us to organize ourselves and keep track of each change from its requirements until it arrives in the cloud.
  • However, the inclusion of this tool is a mere instrument like the ones I have named before.
  • Introduction of Scrum as an organized methodology.
  • Change in the approach given to IoT software products.
  • Cultural change of each one of the members of the department.

As a result, there was an improvement in the coordination between teams, daily delivery of evolutionary and corrective, continuous feedback, detection of failures, the discovery of characteristics that had not been taken into account in the initial phases of the project, reaction to changes, maintenance of the customer and user at the center and satisfaction of the needs that he raises in his accompaniment.

The growth of this work methodology to develop new software should make us reflect on the importance of bringing together the work of Development and Systems technicians. Making their interaction more efficient impacts the agility and quality of the projects.

How To Make Your Product Smart Thanks To IoT https://www.trendstechblog.com/iot/ https://www.trendstechblog.com/iot/?noamp=mobile#respond Mon, 31 Oct 2022 05:48:16 +0000 https://www.trendstechblog.com/?p=3639 Why do I need a connected product?

Why do I need a connected product? It is usual for doubts to arise at the idea of ​​investing in these projects as if the client values ​​it or if it positions my product. We answer these questions by quoting Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft: “all companies, whether they want to or not, have become software companies.” That is, all products are capable of being improved through software.

Why Should I Digitize My Product

If a physical product is not digital, it is not finished. Users will use a product with a digital component differently from one that does not. To explain it better, we started with a Michelin experience in 2016. Why does someone buy wheels? Because you want to get around with your car. Then we will give the customer what he wants: we give you the reels, and you pay me a penny for each kilometer traveled.

In this way, Michelin responded accurately to market demand and offered something disruptive that allowed them to transform their business model. This is where technology comes into play: it is necessary to incorporate into this wheel the technology required to measure the kilometers to integrate the information on the kilometers traveled with the automatic billing systems.

The Digital Evolution Of A Product

The digitization of assets does not understand sectors. Experience tells us that all kinds of products can be connected if they do not become obsolete. Seeing data is excellent, but if we want a real return on investment, we need a connected product. For a non-connected product, for example, a backpack, the maintenance costs are high. If it breaks, we have to buy another one, and we can lose something. In addition, the user is the incident manager.

Another type of product is the connectable one, you connect it to the Wi-Fi, and you can see the data on its operation. You can click on demand, but the activity is still reactive. When the products are always connected, the activity becomes proactive. We no longer have to wait to see the problem, but we can try to understand if it will occur, providing excellent control and improvement in diagnosis and maintenance.

But we don’t stop there, we can also provide the product with an intellectual capacity. This means that my activity is no longer proactive but predictive. We “teach” the product to anticipate the problem. To understand it, we use business intelligence, an intelligent product integrated with internal processes and the value chain. In other words, we have data management in real-time, and we will have a predictive model where the data is unified and external factors such as time are taken into account.

And the last step would be the digital leadership of the product. In addition to all of the above, it can automate its response to specific events, makes a prediction based on Artificial Intelligence, and is equipped with automatic learning systems.This will give us advantages in product design, we will base ourselves on historical data, and we can generate digital twins, reduce costs, improve maintenance, take predictive actions, and have real-time clustering.

What Do I Have To Do To Have A Connected Product

Putting a SIM card to send data is not having a connected product. A related development is a complex conjunction of usage, technology, and business processes. To understand it and parameterize this conjunction, the technology has to be adapted to these processes, putting people at the center: those who manufacture, interact and sell that connected product. Only in this way can we build the necessary information flows.

We have found many companies that carry out related product projects and already have the data. However, given the situation of applying it to 1,000 monthly units, for example, they tell us that the devices must be manually registered. In this case, the technology is not adapted to the business process.

If we want our products to reach digital leadership, they must be connected. To do this, problems will be found, and they will have to do it in stages, with periods of adaptation for the user and validating the business processes in each phase.

The evolution towards industry 4.0 is leading many companies to implement IoT devices to expand the monitoring of their infrastructure and automate operations in factories and other facilities. As the number of connected points increases, it is essential to have gateways with modern connectivity technologies, such as the latest cellular network standards, which are accelerating the update of IoT gateways.

According to researchers at ABI Research, the IoT gateway market is set to overgrow over the next four years, potentially reaching a value of $48 billion by 2026. This technological evolution will see 3G-based IoT gateways reduce their share to marginal levels by next year, replacing Cat-1 gateways. And the equipment based on 4G and 5G will notably increase their presence in this period.

As Abdullah Haider, IoT Services and Networks Analyst at ABI Research, explains, By 2026, cellular gateway shipments will exceed 127 million units worldwide, with a CAGR of over 23% between 2021 and 2026. However, he clarifies that this technological transition will not be without difficulties since WAN endpoint devices are gaining popularity, reducing the need for traditional gateways.

In his opinion, in critical segments of IoT applications, such as patient monitoring in the healthcare industry, short-range wireless connection equipment is being replaced by EPOC and PERS devices connected to a cellular WAN. However, conventional gateways will still retain their usefulness, for example, for industrial monitoring. And Haider says that ” short-range wireless (SRW) devices are more practical for indoor deployments .”

ABI Research forecasts that new uses for IoT gateways will emerge in the coming years, for example, in fleet management, where they will extend the life of existing transportation vehicles. And also in home monitoring, where cellular gateways will provide connectivity for use cases like remote healthcare. Haider explains that competition is increasing in the segment of innovative home solutions with gateway architecture. Mainly in voice control front-end devices and smart TVs with gateway features that complement their core services.

According to McKinsey’s forecast, Thirteen trillion dollars is how much economic growth potential there is in the global IoT market by 2030. To release this monetary value, companies must use the new standards correctly. When it comes to unlocking IoT potential, much of the decision-making currently spans scattered management levels, functions, and business units. However, successfully running IoT corporate strategies are distinguished above all by the precise definition of responsibility. McKinsey has examined 99 fields of application in this regard – and identified three central recommendations for action to bring the value potential into corporate reality. These are particularly relevant for the German economy with its large proportion of industrial companies.

B2C Area With Increased Growth Potential

According to the forecast, B2B applications will mark most of the expected IoT added value by 2030 at around 65 percent. The economic growth forecasts range from a low growth volume of approximately 3.4 trillion dollars to a significant growth scenario of roughly 8.1 trillion dollars. Compared to the B2B area, the development field in the end consumer market (B2C for short) appears to be much more dynamic for the end user. The developments here primarily drive IoT solutions such as innovative home systems for private households or smart wristbands for counting steps, tracking jogging routes, and measuring health indicators.

Companies have catching-up potential, especially ​​B2B applications because the market has not developed as expected in the last six years. The successful market launch of IoT solutions was held back primarily by high costs, a lack of skilled workers, unclear use cases, and cyber security. The industrial sector mainly uses standardized production processes in manufacturing, hospitals, and other industries that can contribute up to 26 percent to the economic value in 2030. In second place is healthcare IoT solutions, which are expected to account for 10-14 percent of estimated economic value by then. This includes, for example, the treatment of diseases via intelligent devices.

Above all, the $13 trillion milestone requires smooth scalability in industrial IoT solutions. Companies should ask themselves: How can we scale our IoT application scenarios to match the company structure and business goal? Above all, three steps are crucial: getting beyond the pilot status with the right approach and the appropriate consistency, recruiting the right employees with the necessary skills, and finally, bringing all relevant applications together.

Go Beyond Pilot Projects With The Right Approach And Consistency

A success-critical factor is the right way of thinking, i.e., the right approach and the corresponding consistency in implementation, to increase the probability of success significantly and to ensure the scalability of projects and solutions right from the start. Innovative concepts such as agile thinking and acting and the existence of a corresponding process that requires consistent, fast, and entrepreneurial decisions are needed here. Companies get caught up in new technologies, decisions about the next development step are not made, and one does not trust themselves to the next scaling step. As a consequence, the pilot project got stuck.

Unfortunately, there is no panacea for the scaled use of IoT technologies. That’s why it’s crucial to examine multiple IoT use cases. For all of these cases to offer the company added value, decision-makers should check where they need to change operating models, workflows, and processes to ensure value creation. For this purpose, a consistent review of the achievement of the projects’ valuable contributions is fundamental, including the proactive control of deviations. That sounds like classic project management, but it is usually not set up as required.

Recruitment Of Tech Talent As A Bottleneck

A critical bottleneck can also be identifying and recruiting tech talents with the right skills – because these specialists are highly competitive with recruiters in the IoT environment. New specialist staff is an essential first step in closing the knowledge gap. For example, without data scientists, companies will struggle to succeed with the data produced in their IoT network. But acquiring new talent is not enough – existing employees must also be given basic knowledge of the latest technologies without becoming too technologically complex.

Unfortunately, too often, only the IT department deals with IoT adoption – while the rest of the company is excluded from it. But technology alone will never be enough to unlock the potential of IoT and enable maximum value creation. Real added value can only be created in the interplay between the possibilities offered by this technology and specific applications in the individual functions. This requires a different way of working together and the right skills and abilities on both sides.

Since the appearance of the new coronavirus, the world has developed a more marked collective consciousness towards the preservation of the environment. Even though the general population’s attitude continues to deteriorate the background, huge industries and organizations contribute much more to carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, technological advances are reflected in a wide range of digital solutions, like connected buildings, with high energy efficiency and guaranteeing optimal comfort for occupants. To understand how connected buildings work, we must first understand the Internet of Things (IoT) and how this technology is the future technology.

The Internet of Things is a network of physical objects integrated with software, sensors, and other intelligent technologies; it is mainly used to exchange and associate data between various systems and devices. Therefore, IoT is beneficial in developing smart buildings, smart grids, smart retail, industrial internet, intelligent supply chain, etc. However, this article will focus on how IoT can participate in realizing intelligent and connected buildings.

So what are connected buildings? These buildings offer a functional approach to building technology; multiple systems are controlled and connected through a single operating system, using state-of-the-art technology to monitor and control the building. As a result, IoT-enabled structures enable better operational efficiency and increased energy management by making continuous changes and collecting data. Here are some of the many ways that connected buildings can help you implement a better, healthier future by saving energy:

  • Different aspects of a building, such as fire safety, lighting, HVAC, and security monitoring, operate in isolation. But when it comes to connected buildings, these systems power a cloud-based network and work together in a synchronized fashion using IoT technology.
  • Intelligent buildings are highly communicative; this compensates for fluctuations in supply and reduces demand for energy by effectively limiting their energy consumption on days when power grids send an alert that it is near its capacity limit.
  • Connected buildings offer greater efficiency and more significant financial savings; this promotes sustainability and reduces service and consumption costs.
  • One of the most outstanding features of a connected building is that it produces massive amounts of data and reports on the different ways the building can be improved. This can help improve the occupant experience and productivity through a wide range of location-based services.

Smart buildings create a healthy environment that actively promotes productivity and performance. In addition, intelligent buildings also can improve the overall atmosphere of a place, whether it is the home or the workplace. Here are some of the many ways that connected buildings can improve the occupant experience in many ways:

  • Lighting: It is well known that the lighting of a place can have a tangible impact on your mood; Whether the lights are too dim or too bright, the implications for concentration and overall performance may be affected. Smart buildings give you several lighting possibilities that allow you to choose and adjust the color and saturation levels of several types of lighting like bulbs, tubes, desk lamps, etc.
  • Air Quality: Many homes and offices are poorly ventilated, provide poor temperature control, carry construction debris, mold, etc. These constraints can result in the creation of a poor quality environment and chronic health problems. Connected buildings are designed according to specific guidelines and procedures to ensure the clean, healthy air quality in enclosed spaces and filtered air.
  • Temperature: It is challenging to work in an environment where the temperature is too high or too low. If you don’t feel comfortable with the temperature of the domain you are in, the impact on your mood and performance will be handled. Intelligent buildings allow you to regulate and control the temperature. In addition, they ensure the control of several factors such as natural light, humidity, and airflow.

We recommend that you research the major electrical service providers in the area with relevant knowledge of how connected buildings work. These service providers have all the appropriate equipment and tools to ensure a smooth and reliable installation process.

When it comes to shifting PCB design, IoT is a crucial tool that gives an accessible way. IoT is a crucial tool that connects to the internet to give remote access to the PCB devices. Nowadays, the demand for more IoT devices rises, so understanding IoT and PCBs’ interconnections are increasingly important for PCB designers.

Before moving further, firstly, you have to know about what IoT and PCB design is.

What Is IoT?

You’re probably familiar with the term IoT, which stands for the Internet of Things. Physical devices consist of software, sensors, and some technology to communicate with the other devices to exchange information. These can be done via IoT.

To exchange and collect the data, the Internet of things plays a crucial role, and we can manage it remotely to integrate with computer systems. The most suitable example of IoT is Smartphones.

What Is PCB Design?

PCB stands for the Printed circuit board. PCB design brings several electronic circuits to combine at a single place and turn it into a physical form. The PCB design method combines component placement and routing to stipulate electrical connectivity on a manufactured circuit board by using layout software.

Devices like smartphones, TVs, digital cameras, and many more, in addition to the motherboards, hard drives, circuitry boards, and some other cards, are electronic devices. Printed circuit boards are required in all such types of devices.

Key Factors To Make The Perfect IoT Ready PCB

For the IoT, PCB designers need to take care of several elements to make the circuit boards. All the PCB designers must keep the following points in mind:

1. Size And Adaptability – Our main focus is to construct smaller PCBs. Small devices are getting smaller, and there is an increase in the demand for them to be flexible and commutable. To maintain the PCB design in any environment, a flexible and strong board must mount several things from the batteries.

2. Temperature Response – To maintain the life of a PCB design, it is crucial to concentrate on maintaining the heat as per the design’s size. When the temperature increases, PCB designs become capable of withstanding it.

3. Product Fitting – When we talk about the PCB size, it’s even more important to do each PCB design process by using virtual prototyping. Your design should cover all the features according to the IoT.

4. Adapting For The Human Body – Understanding the circuit’s thermal effect is crucial to note because it will help maintain the circuit’s temperature. Some other quality that will be required is to optimize, affecting human beings’ body temperature, humidity, and continuous movement.

5. Power Utilization – IoT needs to broaden power integrity and battery power because they are in regular communication with their networks. While preparing the PCB, track the power consumption precisely, and give it a breakthrough to make it less consumable.

6. Long-Lasting Battery Life – As a PCB designer, you must confirm that your design is enhanced to make the best utilization of limited battery capacity. IoT devices require to be linked to a network at unending times and convey with additional devices. Also, they require a lot of power. Minimizing parasitic consumption and low power modes are critical.

7. Noise Reduction – For IoT purposes, PCB design must be designed to make minimal noise. The main work of devices is to communicate with each other. Extra or unwanted sound can obstruct the transmission process of information and give errors.

8. Antennas For Conveying – If you are a Printed circuit board (PCB) designer, you have to keep in mind the correct direction where antennas are located. How much area is needed for the devices to convey through Radio Frequency. Dependable antennas are created for the correct frequency. They are crucial while performing an IoT project.

9. New Flexible Materials – Flexible PCBs are crucial for IoT projects, easily manipulated according to the application. One of the PCB designers’ crucial roles is to be versatile and use flexible designs while preparing the IoT device. These new materials need special care and techniques to develop.

10. Safety And Security – In IoT, several devices are connected to it. Builders believe that only updating security via software will not be sufficient. They suggest implementing hardware related security mechanisms to offer more protection of data.

Vital Points Of PCB Design And IoT

Technology – You have to choose the right technologies to do everything fast.
Collaboration – Maximize collaboration between MCAD (mechanical computer-aided design) and ECAD(Electrical computer-aided design) to enable true interoperability.
Design – Design for constructing and Assembly
Plan – Plan early for manufacturing and certifications.
Test – Shorten design feedback loops and Test early.

Trending Factors In The IoT Industry To Develop Products

Small Scale – Small products are easy to carry, so products must be created to take care of the end-user.
Comfortability – Nowadays, everybody wants to carry devices wherever they go. So, comfort with the devices is necessary. Your customer won’t purchase something bulky to avoid extra weight.
Lastingness – IoT products should not produce extra heat. It should be long lasting and harmless.

Future Of PCB Design For The IoT

Every IoT device has its unique characteristics. IoT offers the PCB industry new challenges. Nowadays, we only see the beginning of how both electrical and mechanical will continue to collaborate and create smaller and steady devices in a very small time.

With the enormous growth in the electronics industries, the flourishment for developing new products is taking a hike. The future of IoT devices can give multiple results in technology. More innovations are coming in the future.

If we talk about technologies, IoT ruled over the market, and huge numbers of small products having elegant features are being made. For all IoT products, designing circuits on small PCBs are vital. In the sector of technology, there is rapid growth in the innovation of IoT devices. The future in this area is unending and striking.

Internet of things (IoT) has gained significant popularity in recent years. It’s applied nearly in every field of business. Healthcare is not the exception of the list. Hospitals are those places that always need to improve their services in order to cover the needs of a larger number of people and cope with new challenges arising every day. In-patient and out-patient healthcare use IoT technologies to monitor the condition of the patients, organize productive communication between the hospital employees, and prevent diseases via control over specific health metrics. Internet of things not only takes the medical science to another quality level, but it has also established the brand-new field in high-tech, called the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). This is an interactive system of different gadgets (wearable and stationary) which are connected to each other, collect and process the data for specific needs via the mechanisms of the related software. With IoT, software development for business also gained changes, as the clients from the field of healthcare are constantly looking for more sophisticated solutions. Hiring additional employees to cope with rising demand for in-patient services proved to be not a good solution, as hospitals try to optimize their resources. Applying new smart equipment, on the contrary, gives doctors the possibility to control the process of treatment in different patients simultaneously. That’s become possible with the help of different sensors and monitoring equipment, which allows check the vitals of a patient in the distance mood and make decisions immediately if something changes spontaneously.

Now, let’s analyze the most visible advantages of applying IoT in the healthcare:

1) Effective data management

Data management in healthcare is quite a difficult area, as the information must have multiple access on different levels: departments of the hospital, laboratory, medical staff, and patients. To optimize the quality of services and save the time of the patients, their personal records must be absolutely reachable 24/7 and always up-to-date. So, IoT is called upon to collect the information on the patient’s condition from different inner sources, form the general health history of the patient integrating the data from different departments of the hospital, update it due to the changes and results of new examinations, and make it available for the patients online.

2) Automation of the routine tasks

IoT business automation has gained a wide usage to improve the quality of communication between the hospital administration, doctors, and other allied specialists. Wearable gadgets allow colleagues to be in touch and constantly get the updates on the patients’ condition. Besides, business automation for hospitals with the help of IoT increase time-efficiency in the fulfillment of routine tasks. As we know health records are one of the most sensitive types of data, that demands attention and accuracy during its entry and processing. Even a small mistake can cause lethal consequences, as in the field of healthcare our lives are on the line. To eliminate the human factor, these processes are given to the machines, that help save time and control the accuracy of the storing data. IoT is widely used to create sophisticated metrics for monitoring the state of in-patient and out-patient clients.

3) Patient experience

Software development and IoT have gained such a popularity in healthcare, as they help improve the quality of user experience. Clients nowadays lack time to call the hospital on every minor issue and wait in the long queues in the clinics. That’s why many hospitals all over the world apply IoT technologies to reduce patient waiting time and gain the client’s loyalty. Successful experience shows from 15% to 60% of the waiting time reduction in different hospitals. Doctors’ late arrivals and patients’ early coming are reimbursed by the timely patient ticketing and proper patient distribution. Again, the other strategy which had been used before IoT was the increasing of hospital human resources. It showed little profitability, as the profit from waiting time reduction was difficult to compare with the increasing operation cost of hiring and maintaining additional staff. The other improvement brought by IoT is the increased convenience of some healthcare services. For example, e-prescription of the medicine to permanent patients, who previously had to visit the hospital each time they needed the new prescription, for example, diabetes patients and other people suffering from chronic diseases. Now, with the help of new technologies, what they need is just to send the request to their doctor and get the new prescription online.

4) Drug management

Out-patient drug management needs serious control, as many patients have to take different kinds of medicine simultaneously. Age and general health condition of the patients play an important role in the quality of medication. Some patients simply get a lot of stress, the others need constant reminders and the overall control of the dose and frequency of the medicine taking. If the patient continues the therapy at home, outside of the hospital, it’s usually difficult for the doctors to have everything under their control. For such situations, the IoT provides additional options for both patients and doctors. Wearable smart devices can be tuned to remind about the time of medication and the dose in order to avoid forgetting or too long intervals between the drug intake. On the other hand, specific digital mechanisms allow doctors to have constant access to information on the dose and frequency of medication. Elderly patients sometimes can’t control their own medication, that’s why this function falls on the shoulders of their family members or social workers. Not being a specialist in the field, these people need additional instructions on the process of therapy. Here gadgets and software with the installed medication plan are indispensable. For many patients, who can’t live without certain medicines, IoT not only improves the quality of life but also helps to save the life.

Internet of things (IoT) is a collection of small devices connected to the internet. The IoT takes the concept “Internet of Things ” a step further, beyond most people’s use cases. Thus far, the internet’s primary function is communication.

The internet has allowed users to be more accessible and connected. Most people go to the internet to communicate and retrieve information. Users might log in to email or social media accounts, which have the internet running so users can communicate and send pictures to one another. Users ask Google what is going on in the news. Users ask Yelp for information about a restaurant.

More than two-thirds of the surface of our planet is covered by water. It plays an important role in our economic existence, even in the main verticals such as oil and gas, shipping, and tourism. easily heard and not stealthy. To make the underwater Internet of Things happen, the answer lies in the light, some argue. Thus, researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia, propose underwater optical communications.

Furthermore, they are already investigating the simultaneous lightwave information and energy transfer (SLIPT) configurations used to transmit energy and data to underwater electronic devices. Recently, researchers announced an innovative experiment in which they were able to achieve bidirectional underwater transmission of data and power more than 1.5 meters between a sensor equipped with a solar panel and a receiver.

The SLIPT system will be a solution to turn to more frequently than strung cables. And in the case of human underwater equipment inspections, for example, it will be less prone to errors than manual signals, and also to audible confusion than ultrasound voice communicators. Surprisingly, to this day, hand signals remain a common form of communication between divers.

“SLIPT can help charge devices in inaccessible places where continuous feeding is expensive or not possible,” explains José Filho, a Ph.D. student at KAUST. Filho, who has been involved in the development of the laser project, expects ships or boats on the surface of the water to transmit optical communications to underwater vehicles or IO sensors on the ocean floor. Lasers would simultaneously communicate and power underwater robots and devices. The return data is transmitted to the surface craft, which then communicates with ground bases or data centers via RF (radio).Surface buoys – or even unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) that fly high above the turbulent waves – could be used to inject energy to the surface of the seafloor while receiving data, the researchers believe.

From that school, they explain that there is still a lot of development that must be done before the SLIPT is operational, but it sees potential.
KAUST, located on the Red Sea coast, has been involved in this technical exploration area for some years. He participated in the development of some of the first record-breaking underwater data communications. In 2015 it made a 4.8 gigabit per second transmission, 16-QAM-OFDM with a 450-nanometer laser. OFDM, or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, splits individual data streams into multiple channels to reduce interference.

Interestingly, seas and oceans are becoming increasingly important to data centers. Large swaths of the world’s population lie on or near shorelines, rather than inland, and we are seeing a shift toward edge-style computing that positions resources closer to data sources. There is also a need to compute cooling, which ocean water can provide. Even wave energy as a method of powering servers means that the sea and data are intertwining.
Without going any further, Microsoft launched an underwater water-cooling data center 117 feet below the surface of the water in 2018. Also, garden hose-sized cables carry nearly all global and public Internet traffic under the water, across the oceans and between continents. It is not done through satellite, as many imagine.
So this is not a new synergy. Aside from the drivers of ecological vigilance, one of the most likely and important reasons why ocean-based computing is being explored hard is that there is no payable rental or offshore jurisdictional property.
