From robotic arms that aid in surgery to wearable or ingestible sensors that pair with smartphones to monitor health, the market for connected medical devices is expanding.

Like any other computing device, IoT devices are a potential entry point for attackers to compromise a company's network, and as such, strong security measures are needed to protect them.

While the impact of IoT sensors is multifaceted, there may be nothing more important to modern companies than predictive maintenance tools.

Behind some of the successful companies, they have some common core skills and approaches to IoT that you can't afford not to know.

The Internet of Things is an extension of the Internet, which aims to make everything connected. Since it is an extension of the Internet, let's start with the Internet we are familiar with. What we usually call the Internet is actually a huge network that connects all computers together. As long as the equipment connected to the Internet can exchange information with each other.

The IoT solution has brought us a lot of convenience. Through the IoT, huge tasks can be completed with amazing automation and less manpower. By reducing the labor force for automatic task completion, we can transfer people to places where technology and manpower are more needed.

Introducing edge computing only makes sense for organizations looking to build robust, scalable and secure IoT solutions.

Choosing the right software platform can really maximize the ROI of your IoT project, and you can even choose a platform that uses your IoT data to trigger remedies and assignments for your operations team via an app.

Replacing human activity with connected devices in many manufacturing processes has revolutionized the image of manufacturing.

In August, Google Cloud said it would discontinue its core IoT services and give customers a month to migrate their IoT devices; these back-to-back announcements have forced people to think about the future of IoT in general.
