The purpose of systems and services that make up the IoT is to improve:
o
productivity, e.g. in manufacturing organisations by allowing the analysis of
processes in real time and using historical data to reduce downtime and ensure
product conformity
o
safety and security, e.g. in the home by allowing the monitoring of household
systems remotely such as intruder alarms and providing connectivity with
emergency services
o
efficiency and effectiveness, e.g. by enabling the monitoring and analysis of air
and water
o
the experience and satisfaction of users by solving new and existing problems
using technology, e.g. through the monitoring and control of heating systems.
•
The application of IoT systems and services in different sectors:
o
home, including:
–
energy monitoring and control systems
–
entertainment, e.g. motion tracking in video game controllers and mobile
devices
o
health and wellbeing, including:
–
aiding and promoting good health, e.g. wearable devices
–
monitoring of vital signs, e.g. pacemakers, and heart rate monitors
o
industrial and transportation, including:
–
