Unleashing the Potential of the Internet of Things in Transforming Libraries into Intelligent Hubs of Digital Knowledge

Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly evolving technology that has the potential to transform the way libraries operate and provide services to their patrons. By connecting devices and systems to the internet, libraries can gain access to real-time data and automate many of their processes, leading to more efficient and effective operations. This paper explores the use of IoT in libraries, specifically focusing on how it can enable smart libraries in the digital era. The paper will discuss the benefits and challenges of implementing IoT in libraries and provide examples of how libraries are currently using IoT to improve their services. The paper will also explore the future possibilities of IoT in libraries and how it can be used to enhance the user experience and support the development of new services. Overall, this paper will provide an overview of the IoT technology and its potential to revolutionize the way libraries operate and provide services to their patrons in the digital era

Understanding Current Trends on Internet of Things - An Overview

Internet of Things (IoT) is the concept of providing automation by adding some level of digital intelligence to physical devices. It relates to the activities of data sharing, data controlling and automation among billions of physical devices around the world. Lower price of processor, wireless network and inexpensive technologies result in turning any object into the part of internet. Smart environment equipped with sensors provide automation in interrelated computing devices, machines, animals and human resources. Data collected from different smart devices is being interpreted by different researchers for analyzing in order to make better business decisions. This review paper has shown experimental research on the Internet of Things published since 2013. We summarize different applications of IoT in various fields and highlighted various issues related to different factors of IoT enabled devices

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), a concept that combines sensor networks and control systems, has been employed in several industries to improve productivity and safety. U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) researchers are investigating IIoT applications to identify the challenges of and potential solutions for transferring IIoT from other industries to the mining industry. Specifically, NIOSH has reviewed existing sensors and communications network systems used in U.S. underground coal mines to determine whether they are capable of supporting IIoT systems. The results show that about 40 percent of the installed post-accident communication systems as of 2014 require minimal or no modification to support IIoT applications. NIOSH researchers also developed an IIoT monitoring and control prototype system using low-cost microcontroller Wi-Fi boards to detect a door opening on a refuge alternative, activate fans located inside the Pittsburgh Experimental Mine and actuate an alarm beacon on the surface. The results of this feasibility study can be used to explore IIoT applications in underground coal mines based on existing communication and tracking infrastructure.CC999999/Intramural CDC HHS/United States2018-01-16T00:00:00Z29348699PMC5769960vault:2590

Smart ports: towards a high performance, increased productivity, and a better environment

Ports are currently competing fiercely for capital and global investments in order to improve revenues, mostly by improving performance and lowering labor costs. Smart ports are a fantastic approach to realize these elements since they integrate information and communication technologies within smart applications, ultimately contributing to port management improvement. This leads to greater performance and lower operational expenses. As a result, several ports in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America have gone smart. However, there are a lot of critical factors to consider when automating port operations, such as greenhouse gas emissions, which have reached alarming proportions. The purpose of this study is to define the most essential tasks conducted by smart ports, such as the smart ship industry, smart gantry and quayside container cranes, transport automation, smart containers, and energy efficiency. Furthermore, it gives a model of the smart port concept and highlights the critical current technologies on which the ports are based. Each technology’s most significant contributions to its development are noted. This technology is compared to more traditional technologies. It is hoped that this effort would pique the curiosity of fresh researchers in this sector
