The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects—devices, vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. The Internet connects these devices together allowing them to share information and work in unison. IoT can be used for many different applications such as tracking products in a warehouse, monitoring environmental conditions, controlling industrial equipment, providing remote health care services, managing energy usage, and automating processes.
