IoT (Internet of things): Popular Trend in Modern Technology

With the advent of multiple innovations in technology, a lot of new trends have emerged. Even humans can now interact with machines and establish a two-way smooth communication with them.

Mobile apps are also one of such technological advances in recent times. And now with some more innovations, IoT and Bots have become integral parts of mobile apps. You can say, they are the future of apps. 

“As per some stats”, the numbers of mobile users are increasing every day. By 2020, it will reach 230 million and this is only in India”. 

Look at some more stats:

• 53% of people said that they want to deal more with platforms that they can message anytime.
• Gartner suggests that the number of companies investing more in bots will increase by 50% by 2021.

What is IoT?

IoT is an interconnected network of devices. The multiple devices to each other via the internet. They all have a specific IP address and they communicate with each other through mobile devices using a smart interface.

If you ever witness home automation systems or smart homes, they run on IoT applications. All the appliances, machines in the house like lights, security cameras, cooking devices can come into an ecosystem and are connected to the internet. They can receive instructions from house owners using an IoT integrated app.

How does it work?

Every device or appliance for that matter in an IoT ecosystem is interconnected. They use the technology based on the cloud to connect the devices to a central system. Then the user can control those devices or appliances on the system by using an app on their smart device. 

Well, in this set-up, the user's mobile device is the main interface. As the mobile devices have multiple features like- Geo-location, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC. Because of these features, smartphones are more adaptable to IoT technology.

IoT ensures cloud-based operations

Using IoT in mobile implies that users can get access to the cloud. And access to the cloud will pave the way for the quick operations and the action can be performed from any location. 

Integration with enterprise mobility

Mobile apps for IoT ensure that entrepreneurs have the absolute authority of their system. By simply using a smart device, they can easily control the system in a matter of a few clicks. 

Provide control even without internet

IoT technology gives the user the ability to control their apps even without having an internet connection.

Data collection

With IoT infrastructure in place, firms will find it easier to collect valuable data using sensors. 

Automation

With IoT, an enterprise can go to the path of automation, and it has applications in all the industries. 

Conclusion

IoT is the future of mobile apps. The above statistics and benefits of mobile apps using IoT is proof enough. It is high time that all mobile app development companies invest in developing robust, interactive, and user-friendly apps using these trends.
