The Internet of Things (IoT) is a standardized framework defined by ISO/IEC and the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) that enables physical and digital components to connect via networks, interact with the physical world, and exchange data autonomously. It addresses the challenge of integrating sensing, actuation, and communication into cohesive systems across industrial, commercial, and consumer environments. IoT sits within the broader digital transformation stack, serving as a foundational layer for data acquisition and real-time operational control. Core components include IoT devices, which sense or actuate physical entities; IoT gateways, which aggregate and preprocess data from multiple devices; discovery services, which locate available resources; cloud services, which provide scalable storage and computing; and infrastructure services, which ensure connectivity, security, and system interoperability. These elements work together to form complete IoT systems, supported by standardized architectures such as ISO/IEC 30141 and the IIC reference model. IoT is designed for engineers, system architects, and operations professionals who require reliable, interoperable systems to monitor and control physical environments in sectors like manufacturing, energy, and smart infrastructure.
