1. What is the Internet of Things?

Computing equipment, machinery and digital machines, objects, animals or humans are composed of systems that have unique identifiers (UIDs) and can transmit data through the network without the need for human-computer interaction, These huge systems composed of objects and data collection equipment through various communication networks are collectively referred to as the IoT system.

Organizations and enterprises in many industries are increasingly using the Internet of Things to improve operational efficiency, better understand customers to provide better customer service, improve decision-making, and increase business value.

2. How does the Internet of Things work?

The IoT ecosystem consists of data collection devices that support the network. These smart devices use embedded systems (such as processors, sensors, and communication hardware) to collect, send, and process data collected from the environment. IoT devices share the sensor data they collect by connecting to IoT gateways or other edge devices, where the data is sent to the cloud for analysis or local analysis. Sometimes, these devices communicate with other related devices and take actions based on information obtained from each other. These devices do most of the work without manual intervention, although people can interact with the devices—for example, setting them up, giving them instructions, or accessing data.

The connections, networks, and communication protocols used with these web-enabled devices depend to a large extent on the specific IoT applications deployed.

The Internet of Things can also use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to help make the data collection process easier and more dynamic.

3. Why is the Internet of Things important?

The Internet of Things helps people live and work smarter and take full control of their lives. In addition to providing smart devices to realize home automation, the Internet of Things is also essential for enterprises. The Internet of Things enables companies to understand how their systems actually work in real time, providing insights into everything from machine performance to supply chain and logistics operations.

The Internet of Things enables companies to automate processes and reduce labor costs. It also reduces waste and improves service delivery, reduces the cost of manufacturing and delivering goods, and provides transparency for customer transactions.

Therefore, the Internet of Things is one of the most important technologies in daily life. As more and more companies realize the potential of connected devices to remain competitive, the Internet of Things will continue to flourish.

4. What are the benefits of IoT for organizations?

The Internet of Things provides multiple benefits to organizations. Some benefits are specific to specific industries, while others are applicable to multiple industries. Some common advantages of the Internet of Things enable companies to:

Effectively control their overall business process;

Improve customer experience;

Save labor costs, save time and money, and improve the productivity of the enterprise;

Integrate and adjust business models to make better business decisions.

5. What are the main AIDC products?

AIDC is the abbreviation for automatic identification and data collection. The devices used for data collection in the Internet of Things are collectively referred to as AIDC devices. Generally, there are differences in operating systems and collection methods;

According to the operating system, it is mainly divided into windows terminal and android terminal;

According to the collection method, there are: barcode scanner, RFID reader equipment, fingerprint recognition equipment, facial recognition equipment, and iris recognition equipment, etc.;

There is also the distinction of portability, there are handheld windows terminals, and android handheld terminals, fixed data collectors and so on.

If based on different communication protocol, it also can be divided into 4G, Wifi, NB-IoT, GPS location and other communication devices.

In additional, label printers, themal printers, RFID printers are also the part of AIDC products, as they are useful in printing the barcode or RFID tags as the mediums.
