Imagine the world where you
could remotely control your home appliances and switch it on or off. A
place where you can control water pumps of your farm from far away
distance. In the land where your devices automatically receive
instructions and notifications when you enter the Beacon zone. Now with
the help of IoT Solutions, you can get the glimpse of our future world.
An Internet of Things, as the name imply is the technology that
influences object interoperability. All the objects in the network play
the role of either transmitter or the receiver of the energy signals. In
the nutshell, IoT converges multiple technologies including wireless
communication, real-time analytics and embedded systems for wireless
transmission.
The IoT system uses cloud-based applications to interpret and
transmit the data coming from the connected devices. By doing so, the
cloud enables the apps to work for you anytime, anywhere. So next time
when you go shopping in a shopping mall under IoT influence, keep
Bluetooth in your smartphone switched on. So when you step near the
product of your liking, you can get notification on the product details
and all the feature that it offers.
Role of Beacon in the IoT Solutions Framework
A Beacon could be thought of as an IoT device for transmission. It
generates a Universally unique identifier (UUID) for every within-range
compatible device. In order to allow transmission you need to keep
Bluetooth of your smartphone turned on. Next thing the Beacon does is, it emits out signals which are grabbed by the apps/OS of the compatible devices and links are formed.
After establishing the link, the Beacon uses the collected
information to carry out several tasks. Like tracking the physical
location of the mobile user, triggering a specific action, configure a
device to use them as – remote switch or to send personal notifications.
Other important constituents of IoT
It’s not just Beacons/Sensors, the airport also uses devices like wearables,
virtual reality services and artificial intelligence to assist
passengers. By implementing cutting-edge technologies like AI or the VR,
airports are accurately able to measure passenger traffic on a
real-time basis. In the same manner, specific apps like location aware
apps help passengers to get directions and locate their way within the
airport.
By unleashing the potential of Physical Web, IoT banks on the power
of the web to pair objects and establish a link for data transfer. Just
walk up to smart devices or specific zones like vending machine parking
lot or bus station and pair your device for remote accessing.
IoT Solutions influencing airport connectivity
Now with the help of your smartphones, you can electronically
check-in at the airport and avoid long queues at the check-in counter.
As soon as you progress towards the gate, you can use your smartphone to
locate your plane and the seating.
For the airport management, Beacon-generated data analytics provide
insights into traveler/staff activities and engagements in various
public spots. The IoT sensors are placed at strategic locations to
enable tracking of your baggage.
According to a study, nearly a third of all airports are already
taking advantage of the Internet of Things. Often the sensors are placed
in key locations of the airport to transpire information. Over the next
three years, this number is expected to climb by 43%. In security
checkpoints and baggage drop area maximum number of sensors are deployed
for tracking. Whereas for areas like retail stores and areas
surrounding boarding gates, only handful of sensors enable tracking.
Summary
It may take some time for IoT to completely spread its wings in
industries and organizations. Apparently many organizations nowadays
are slowly switching towards adopting Internet of Things to
revolutionize their enterprises. At this speed, soon you will see some
of the enterprises completely controlled by Internet of Things.
