Internet of Things (IoT) Building Automation Smart Homes & Cities Healthcare & Telemedicine Everyday Things Agriculture Automation Vehicle, Asset, Pet, People Monitoring & Controlling

IoT in Agriculture

 Precision Agriculture  A practice that uses analytics to optimize farming decisions  Crop Yield Maximization  Automating everyday agriculture operations  Running water pumps when power available  Stopping pumps automatically when right pH is achieved  Pest Control  Monitoring and electronic controls to help farmers continually analyze and improve performance.  Moving towards Greenhouse Cultivation IoT in Agriculture

IoT in Home Automation

IoT in Various Sectors  Building and home automation addressing HVAC, security, lighting, entertainment, appliances, and assisted living  Manufacturing applications that monitor machinery, connect factories and optimize supply chains  Resources such as smart electricity grids and electric vehicle infrastructure.

Conclusion  IoT is an enabler for POWER ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY  Will change the way “Control & Monitoring” is achieved
