Transformative Applications of IoT in Diverse Industries: A Mini Review

Abstract

By integrating physical objects and facilitating data-driven decision-making, the Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming several sectors. Through the provision of individualised treatment plans, real-time health data analysis, and remote patient monitoring, it is vital to the modernization of healthcare systems. IoT technologies are essential to the development of smart cities, resource allocation optimisation, public safety improvement, and traffic congestion reduction. IoT-driven smart farming automates machinery, optimises irrigation, and monitors crop conditions. As IoT makes it possible to create smart grids, save energy waste, and increase grid dependability, the energy landscape is changing. IoT makes it easier to apply Industry 4.0 ideas in the manufacturing sector, converting conventional factories into networked, intelligent systems. Reducing operating costs and increasing productivity are the outcomes of implementing IoT-enabled sensors, robots, and data analytics to improve supply chain management, predictive maintenance, and production efficiency. Innovation, sustainability, and efficiency are becoming more and more possible as a result of the Internet of Things' integration across many industries. This review also showcases the relevant prospects of IoT applications in the fields mentioned.
