In this fast-paced digital world, enterprises’ dependencies on technologies 
are shooting up exponentially. Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that 
is evolving very well with its wide spread adoption and the benefits 
generated. IoT technology is identified with two aspects:
 Lesser human intervention.  IoT enables connectivity and data 
exchange between devices, machines, and systems without human 
interference.
 Integration. IoT enhances interface across networks in a scalable and 
flexible way, so that large volume of data and information become 
accessible.
Businesses can save a lot of time by deploying IoT. Particularly, IoT 
solutions can help automate tasks that takes long hours to complete in 
few minutes.
Major motivation for most of IoT programs is cost savings, productivity 
enhancements, safer work environment and efficiency improvements. By 
enabling better understanding of end consumer behavior, businesses can 
enhance the experience consistently. Here are some of the key benefits of 
deploying IoT solutions.
Obtain data from variety of sources 
With IoT technology, today businesses can collect and process data from 
variety of sources.  This enabling them to get analyse and generate 
insights quickly to drive key business strategies as well decisions. 
Enhanced Productivity and Competence 
Enhancing efficiency and productivity makes the businesses more 
profitable. IoT technology plays a big role in helping manufacturers and 
enterprises to assess the specific demands better and channelize required 
resources in meeting them. As a result the efficiency goes up at all stages 
of production.  
Using IoT technology, routine labor intensive tasks can gets automated; 
the human resources can be re-deployed for more critical and complex 
activities. This will eventually results in reduction in the number of 
workers and costs. IoT keeps the employees well–informed, facilitating 
improved relationship with their clients. 
A better understanding of customer behavior 
Having a better understanding of customer preferences and behavior will 
help businesses in deciding what kind of product and service to be 
offered, what more can be added and what has to be dropped from 
current products & services. IoT technologies facilitates market research 
at massive scale by gathering, analyzing, and interpreting data from 
customers’ activities like – video surveillance, usage of mobile, internet, 
and social media. 
IoT solutions leveraged by utility companies are enabling them to find 
issues and solve using smart meters and associate grid technologies.  
Better operations control 
IoT technologies by improving the interconnection of smart devices and 
automation of device control over multiple operation areas like inventory 
management, shipping tracking, fuel & spare parts management. In 
manufacturing industries, IoT devices can be used to track equipment and 
reduce downtime by foreseeing future failures or probable errors on 
production lines.  
Improved resources and assets utilization 
The automated scheduling and monitoring implemented along with 
interconnected sensors and machine enable higher efficiency of resource 
usage such as energy and water across the production lines. Energy 
expenses and recovers of electrical efficiency by utilizing IoT solutions. 
Smart building management systems allow tracking & monitoring and 
thus facilitate avoiding redundant usage of electrical systems.
Using IoT technologies critical assets are connected via sensors, enabling 
remote real-time insights and monitoring. The data from the connected 
systems help in operating them better with the detection of faults or 
conditions leading to faults early. In case of emergency, the IoT application 
can be configured to automatically switch off the machinery, preventing it 
from overheating and getting damaged. 
Better safety 
IoT solutions improve safety in the work environment, by integrating 
intelligent emergency procedures. The scheduled maintenance is 
advantageous in ensuring operational safety and compliance with 
regulations.
Smart devices reduce the probability of human error during different 
stages of business operation, resulting higher level of safety.  A network of 
IoT devices such as surveillance cameras, motion sensors, wearable and 
monitoring devices can be utilized to ensure the security of work zones, 
environments and warn or alert on emergencies making the work place a 
safer place.  
Enhanced business opportunities 
By leveraging IoT solutions, businesses are able to come up with new 
revenue streams by offering range of services & products with increased 
effectiveness and user experience at competitive price levels. The use of 
smart solutions makes an enterprise more competitive, attractive, and a 
true business partner.
IoT improves customer experiences by facilitating after sales supports and 
follow-ups through automatic tracking, reminds on maintenance, ending 
of warranty periods etc.  
Trustworthy image of the company 
A company that employs high-tech solutions like IoT makes a positive 
impression on customers, investors, and other business partners.  
Attracting highly experienced staff to the organization becomes easier 
when the company provides a safe and secure work environment 
guaranteed through a network of smart devices connected via IoT 
technology.  
Backing business models with data  
Data is the most effective tool for today’s enterprises. More and more 
industries are transforming themselves with data-driven business models. 
The biggest contribution of IoT technology is the collection, aggregation, 
storage and analysis of data from end-to-end business ecosystems. 
IoT in the near future
IoT technology and solutions are making consistent and significant 
impacts on each and every business. With more focused as well as 
targeted tactics & strategies, adoption of IoT solutions will bring even 
better profitability and benefits.
Even though IoT technology can deliver even greater value, companies 
need to prevail over challenges such as data & information security, lack 
of interlinked technologies and privacy concerns.
