How does an IoT work?

1. Data collection through IoT sensors and devices

IoT devices are equipped with environmental sensors that collect data from their surroundings on parameters like humidity, motion, temperature, or other machine-specific performance metrics.

2. Data transmission to cloud or edge computing systems

Data from IoT devices is sent to edge or cloud computing systems to enable edge intelligence. The former enables faster real-time data analysis, while the latter has greater storage and processing capabilities.
