IoT - Smart Meter Reading

IoT is a concept, which is coined by a member of RFID in 1999. IoT is a environment in which the physical objects are networked together to collect and exchange data, it can be used to provide more information which helps making better decision, monitoring amount of time and saving money. Simply IoT is a concept that can be easily explained by the term “Communication between devices”. This can be explained by giving an example which will be routine in our daily life assume that your alarm wakes you at 6 A.M in the morning and after that the alarm sends a message to the coffee maker machine to make coffee. This simple example describes IoT very simply. The application of IoT is very vast like ocean for e.g. smart city, smart buildings etc. behind all this IoT working and its technology its main objective is to make life in a simpler and a easier way but taking the concept used is electric board, the way they measure the amount of units consumed by each home and industry still exist in the old way by a person who comes and take the reading for every two months. This old way can be overcome by using the concept of IoT. Since IoT is used to communicate between the devices this problem can be solved easily. The main advantage of this method is the Electric board bill does not need to depend upon manpower for taking the reading in each home and other commercial purposes, so that the economy can be increased.
