OUTLINE
 What is IOT ?
Internet of Things is the use of the Internet as a platform for
making machines, smart objects talk, communicate, compute,
send and receive data in wide fields globally
 Some Tools and Needs were Controlled over
1990’s the Internet Since 90’s

The Internet Came in deeply in People’s Lives

2000’s using computers, smartphones…

IOT became more integrated in People’s

2010’s Lives operating and controlling equipment
with the minimal human intervention

HISTORY IOT will touch most of our living patterns

Future and will be emerged widely in our daily
lives after the great evolution in the 2010’s

 IOT CHARACTERISTICS
Connectivity
Anything can be connected with the global information Action
and communication infrastructure It is the outcome of intelligence. And it can be manual
actions.
Things Ecosystem
It can provide consistency between physical things such The view of internet of things from other perspectives
as sensors and their associated virtual things of technologies, communities…

Data
Data is to be shared between physical and virtual things
in order to control, communicate, create datasets and
compute

Communication
Things are connected together to share data.
Communication can occur over short distances or over
a long range to very long range.

Intelligence
An intelligent brain of the system. Artificial intelligence
assists IOT to simulate smart behaviors and make
decisions with minimal or no human intervention

 Availability and Uses
Automotive
The benefits of applying IoT
to production lines, sensors
can detect impending
equipment failure in vehicles
already on the road and can
alert the driver with details
and recommendations.
Manufacturing
With the help of sensor alerts,
manufacturers can quickly check
equipment for accuracy or
remove it from production until it
is repaired. This allows
companies to reduce operating
costs, get better uptime, and
improve asset performance
management.
 Availability and Uses
Transportation
These systems benefit from a
variety of IoT applications.
Fleets of cars, trucks, ships, and
trains that carry inventory can be
rerouted based on weather
conditions, vehicle availability,
or driver availability, thanks to
IoT sensor data. The inventory
itself could also be equipped with
sensors for track-and-trace and
temperature-control monitoring.
Healthcare
Sensors facilitate tracking and
monitoring patients health. For
example the Oximeter available
in Apple Watch Helps identifying
COVID-19 patients and track
them and monitor in case of
critical condition

 IOT IN LEBANON
IOT In Lebanon is used in many domains. This technology
can help improving many problems in Lebanon such as
public health, public transportation, economy, traffic and a
lot of many issues.
 IOT IN LEBANON
An IOT project entitled “ Lebanon Smart City Experience is taking place at
BeitMisk. The project offers real time reading and control of:
 Water Level
 Energy Consumption
 Environmental Condition
 Control Water Pumps and Fire Alert
 Air quality sensors
The goal of the project is to make the city more sustainable, save energy, and
provide a better citizen experience
This project can also be an example for a wider use across the country to attain
the same goals
