IoT and Industries | Internet of Things Shaping the World Around Us | SmartAxiom

In the construction industry, the quality of concrete says a lot about the strength of the structure. With sensors embedded within foundation of the building, now the quality and strength of the structure can be known.

Retailers can now try their A/B testing using smart retailing sensors which may detect which products bring the most engagement from customers, which layout of the store works the best, and based on these reports, how conversion can be improved.

IoT is making use of smart things but the biggest concerns arise from the security and privacy of huge amount of data generated by countless interactions between these smart machines, users, and networks. In the IoT system, the concept of traditional security doesn’t stand securely.
