Centre of Excellence for
Smart Devices and IoT Applications
Data generated by networked devices and equipment is collected, analyzed, and used in the internet of things (IoT). The Internet, which was first developed to link people, is currently connecting stuff to people and continuously collecting, analyzing, and transferring data. In this sense, humans are evolving a sixth sense. Big data analytics, networks, storage, and sensors are all crucial components in adopting the IoT.
The Internet of Things is only complete with intelligent devices, which include sensors, mighty computing power, and communication capabilities. Sensor data is electronically transformed into information (output) that ‘intelligent’ machinery or people may utilize to make choices. To understand how “things” function, the data must be assessed. The current development of big-data solutions allows for significantly more organized and unstructured data management.
By democratizing invention, standardization, and prototype realization, the created CoE’s objective is to allow universities to act as innovation centers in the developing technology of the Internet of Things.
