8. Smart retail :
The potential of IoT in the retail sector is enormous. IoT provides an opportunity to
retailers to connect with the customers to enhance the in-store experience.
A smart store is a term that is commonly used to describe the use of smart technologies
in retail . Smart stores usually deliver their services via the Web, smart phone apps,
and augmented reality applications in real stores.
Smart phones will be the way for retailers to remain connected with their consumers even
out of store.
They can also track consumers‟ path through a store and improve store layout and place
premium products in high traffic areas.
9. Smart supply chain :
A supply chain is a system of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources
involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer.
Supply chain activities involve the transformation of natural resources, raw materials, and
components into a finished product that is delivered to the end customer.
Applications for tracking goods, real time information exchange about inventory among
suppliers and retailers and automated delivery will increase the supply chain efficiency.
10. Smart Farming: - Agriculture for the future
The agricultural sector is going to face enormous challenges in order to meet population
growth, climate change, changing diets, changes to seasonal events in the life cycle of plant
and animals and competition for resources.
One way to address these issues and increase the quality and quantity of agricultural
production is using sensing technology to make farms more “intelligent” and more
connected through the so-called “precision agriculture” also known as „smart farming‟
Smartphone applications can help farmers better manage chemical input, watering, and
machinery. Unmanned aerial vehicles can control crop picking. Geospatial technologies are
currently available to help farmers monitor and increase production.
In practice, smart farming changes the way a farmer works:
Crops are not only harvested, but also mapped using a combination of sensors,
digital photography techniques, and geospatial technologies
Soil sensing systems provide information on the variability in soil productivity
status
Crop sensing technology provides information about canopy characteristics
Fertilizers/chemicals are allocated more strategically/efficiently by exploiting
spatial variations in soil fertility levels according to local demand
Agrochemicals can be sprayed specifically on the crop when they are needed
New techniques, such as variable rate technologies including sprayers, spreaders,
sensors, controllers, electromagnetic induction methods, geospatial technologies,
ultrasonic sensor systems, and remote sensing can be used

5.2. IoT ARCHITECTURE :
IoT is the internetworking of physical devices (also referred to as connected devices and
smart devices), vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with electronics, software,
sensors, actuators and network connectivity that enable them to collect and exchange data.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and
digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and
the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-
to-computer interaction.
Internet of things (IoT) can be any object that has a unique identifier and which can
send/receive data over a network. An IOT system comprises of devices that provide
sensing, actuation, and monitoring and control functions. The IoT devices are connected to
the internet and send information about themselves or about their surroundings over a
network.
An IOT system comprises of a number of functional blocks that provide the system the
Capabilities for identification, sensing, actuation, communication and management as
shown in above figure.

5. Application
IV B.Tech. I Sem (R13) ECE : Embedded Systems : UNIT -5 6
VISVODAYA TECHNICAL ACADEMY :: KAVALI
1. Sensors and Actuators :
These form the front end of the IoT devices. These are the so called “Things” of the system.
Their main purpose is to collect data from its surrounding (sensors) or give out data to its
surrounding (actuators).
These have to be uniquely identifiable devices with a unique IP address so that they can be
easily identifiable over a large network.
These have to be active in nature which means that they should be able to collect real time
data. These can either work on their own (autonomous in nature) or can be made to work
by the user depending on their needs (user controlled).
Sensors can be either on-board the IoT device or attached to the device. The IoT device can
collect various types of information from the on-board or attached sensors such as
temperature, humidity, light intensity, gas sensor, water quality sensor, moisture sensor..
etc. The sensed information can be communicated either to other devices or cloud-based
servers/storage.
IoT devices can have various types of actuators attached that allow taking actions upon the
physical entities in the vicinity of the device. For example a relay switch connected to an
IoT device can turn an appliance on/off based on the commands sent to the device.
2. Processors Analysis & processing :
Processors are the brain of the IoT system. Their main function is to process the data
captured by the sensors to extract the valuable data from the enormous amount of raw
data collected. In a word, we can say that it gives intelligence to the data.
Processors mostly work on real-time basis and can be easily controlled by applications.
These are also responsible for securing the data – that is performing encryption and
decryption of data.
Embedded hardware devices, microcontroller etc are the ones that process the data
because they have processors attached to it.
3. Gateways :
Gateways are responsible for routing the processed data and send it to proper locations for
its (data) proper utilization.
In other words, we can say that gateway helps in to and fro communication of the data. It
provides network connectivity, which is essential for any IoT system to communicate.
Communication module is responsible for sending collected data to other devices or cloud
based servers/storage and receiving data from other devices and commands from remote
applications.
This layer needs to have a consistently trusted performance in terms of public, private and
hybrid networks. Different IoT device works on different kinds of network protocols. All
this protocols are required to be assimilated in a single layer. This layer is responsible for
integrating various network protocols.
The gateway is comprised of embedded OS, Signal Processors and Modulators, Micro-
Controllers etc.
LAN, WAN, PAN etc are examples of network gateways.

4. Management :
The Management Service Layer is responsible for Securing Analysis of IoT devices,
Analysis of Information (Stream Analytics, Data Analytics) and Device Management.
It also secures the IoT system and by providing functions Such as authentication,
authorization, message and content integrity and data security.
Data management is required to extract the necessary information from the enormous
amount of raw data collected by the sensor devices to yield a valuable result of all the data
collected. This action is performed in this layer.
This layer is also responsible for data mining, text mining, service analytics etc.
The management service layer has Operational Support Service (OSS) which includes
Device Modeling, Device Configuration and Management and many more.
Also, we have the Billing Support System (BSS) which supports billing and reporting,
IoT/M2M Application Services, Security which includes Access Controls, Encryption,
Identity Access Management, Business Rule Management (BRM) and Business Process
Management (BPM).
5. Applications:
Application layer forms the topmost layer of IoT architecture which are responsible for
effective utilization of the data collected.
IOT application provides an interface that the users can to control and monitor various
aspects of the IOT system. Applications also allow users to view the systems status or
analyze the processed data.
These cloud based applications are responsible for rendering effective meaning to the data
collected. Applications are controlled by users and are delivery point of particular services.
Examples of applications are home automation apps, e-health, e-governance, security
systems, transportation, industrial control hub etc.

5.5. Application Program Interface (API) : Application program interface (API) is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software
applications. An API defines data structures and subroutine calls that can be used to extend
existing applications with new feature, and build entirely new applications on top of other
software components.
An API specifies how software components should interact and APIs are used when
programming graphical user interface (GUI) components. A good API makes it easier to develop
a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together.
Network programming :
Network programming is a type of software development for applications that connect
and communicate over computer networks including the Internet. Network APIs provide
entry points to protocols and re-usable software libraries. Network APIs support Web
browsers, Web databases, and many mobile apps. They are widely supported across many
different programming languages and operating systems.
Socket Programming :
Traditional network programming followed a client-server model. The primary APIs used
for client-server networking were implemented in socket libraries built into operating
systems. Berkeley sockets and Windows Sockets (Winsock) APIs were the two primary
standards for socket programming for many years.
Remote Procedure Calls
RPC APIs extend basic network programming techniques by adding the capability for
applications to invoke functions on remote devices instead of just sending messages to
them. With the explosion of growth on the World Wide Web (WWW), XML-RPC emerged
as one popular mechanism for RPC.
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
SOAP was developed in the late 1990s as a network protocol using XML as its message
format and HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) as its transport.
SOAP generated a loyal following of Web services programmers and became widely used
for enterprise applications.
Representational State Transfer (REST)
REST is another programming model that also supports Web services that arrived on the
scene more recently. Like SOAP, REST APIs use HTTP, but instead of XML, REST
applications often choose to use a Javascript Object Notation (JSON) instead.
