2. Social and economic significance Flashcards
Under what conditions can IoT sensors (services) be used to monitor consumers?
If it doesn’t violate customer privacy.
How does IoT effect behind-the-scenes processes in the supply chain?
It can identify bottlenecks and improve efficiency in the supply chain.
Name a few retail-relevant IoT innovations.
Smart shelves, automated check-out, in-store layout optimation, smart signage, personalized discounts, supply chain management, smart inventory, and customer satisfaction.
What does RFID stand for?
radio frequency identification
Explain the four industrial revolutions.
Industry 1.0: Mechanical production facilities run on water and steam.
Industry 2.0: Mass production relies on electrical energy.
Industry 3.0: Automated assembly lines rely on computers and information technology.
Industry 4.0: Intelligent factories are driven by IoT.
How are inefficiencies solved within smart factories?
IIoT retools factories with IoT technologies to enhance operational productivity and reliability through interconnecting smart sensors, actuators, and robots with industrial control systems such as Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).
What do HMI, SCADA, IP, RTLS, SMEs, and PLCs stand for?
Human-machine interfaces, supervisory control and data acquisition, internet protocol, real-time location systems, small and medium‑sized enterprises, and programmable logic controllers.
What benefits can IoT bring to SMEs?
Improved products (smart products).
Improved customer service through integration with dealers.
Improved engineering by reducing the time required to make a product from an idea and introduce it to the market.
Improved operations.
More efficient management through production asset intelligence and activity synchronization
How can people benefit from IoT in everyday life?
Smart cities: Smart street lighting, energy-efficient buildings, smart waste management, smart snow removal, smart traffic control, smart public transportation, smart irrigation and environmental monitoring.
What are the key elements of smart cities?
- Customer Interface.
- Data aggregation and analysis.
- Service delivery.
- Managed connectivity.
What does ICT stand for?
Information and communication technology.
Who are the smart city stakeholders?
ICT providers, citizens, scientific centers, industry, and government.
What are some benefits of smart cities?
Environmental health, smart agriculture, and healthcare.
Name some of the influences of IoT on the world of work.
Overwhelming data, enhanced need for security, and wearables.
What does AR and VR stand for?
Augmented reality and virtual reality.
What is the layer model of end-to-end IoT solutions (security)?
- Device layer: Physical protection and firmware attestation.
- Network layer: E2E encryption of data and communication.
- Cloud services layer: Privacy management.
- Application layer: Application identity and access management.
- Security layer.
What does OTP stand for?
One-time passwords.
Name some reasons why IoT is more vulnerable to security threats than traditional IT networks.
Most IoT sensors are highly mobile, and dynamic, and have no defined perimeter.
Inexpensive and simple.
They are heterogeneous with diverse security requirements.
It may not be IP-enabled.
Might not be physically protected (physically exposed).
Can be controlled and managed by third parties.
What does the data management and computer stack consist of?
The edge, fog, and cloud.
To protect sensitive IoT data across the IoT data management stack, what requirements must be met?
Confidentiality, integrity, availability, and trustworthiness.
