Internet of Things enables companies to monitor or control their embedded devices remotely from a central location, while also allowing local user access by offering a mobile app for a smartphone or tablet.
In a typical Internet of Things application, the embedded device monitors inputs and controls outputs. The inputs could be sensors, while the outputs could control relays, pumps, valves, lights, motors, etc.
Usually, an internet-connected server or cloud computer stores the transmitted data in a database, such as Oracle or SQL Server. The server / cloud software consists of web applications and services written in C#, Java, and other languages. This software is responsible for managing the data from possibly thousands of embedded devices and presenting an interface to the end user.
An Internet of Things system requires expertise in many disciplines, including:
- Hardware (circuitry)
- Mechanical (enclosure)
- Firmware (embedded application)
- Software (server / cloud application)
- Database (data storage)
- Mobile Apps (tablet or smartphone)
