Smart Home (IoT)

A smart home is a residence that uses internet-connected devices to enable the

remote monitoring and management of appliances and systems, such as lighting
and heating.

Smart home technology, also often referred to as home automation or domotics

(from the Latin "domus" meaning home), provides homeowners security, comfort,
convenience and energy efficiency by allowing them to control smart devices,
often by a smart home app on their smartphone or other networked device. A part
of the internet of things (IoT), smart home systems and devices often operate
together, sharing consumer usage data among themselves and automating actions
based on the homeowners' preferences.

Advantages:
 Managing all of your home devices from one place.
 Flexibility for new devices and appliances.
 Maximizing home security.
 Remote control of home functions.
 Increased energy efficiency.
 Improved appliance functionality.
 Home management insights.

Smart City (IoT)

A smart city uses information and communication technology (ICT) to improve

operational efficiency, share information with the public and provide a better
quality of government service and citizen welfare.

The main goal of a smart city is to optimise city functions and promote economic
growth while also improving the quality of life for citizens by using smart
technologies and data analysis. The value lies in how this technology is used rather
than simply how much technology is available.

Advantages
 Effective decision-making based on data.
 Creation of safer communities.
 Improved urban transportation.
 Improving the environment through various systems.
 Optimization of time in hospital and public service lines.
 Evolution towards the Internet of Things (IoT).
 Implementation of new business opportunities.

Smart Farming (IoT)

Smart farming refers to managing farms using modern Information and

communication technologies to increase the quantity and quality of products while
optimizing the human labor required.

Among the technologies available for present-day farmers are:

 Sensors: soil, water, light, humidity, temperature management

 Software:  specialized software solutions that target specific farm types or
applications agnostic IoT platforms
 Connectivity: cellular, LoRa
 Location: GPS, Satellite
 Robotics: Autonomous tractors, processing facilities
 Data analytics: standalone analytics solutions, data pipelines for
downstream solutions

Advantages

 Data collection. All data can be collected with the help of installed sensors.
 Reduction of risks.
 Business goes automated.
 Higher quality.
 Livestock monitoring.
 Monitoring climate conditions.
 Greenhouses automation.
 Crop monitoring.
