Most prevalent POC’s in world of IoT 2023

There are countless use cases being tested via POC (Proof of Concept) in the world using IoT (Internet of Things) devices, as IoT has the potential to transform almost every industry and aspect of our daily lives. Some of the most common use cases being tested include:

• Smart cities: IoT devices can be used to manage traffic, monitor air quality, improve waste management, and enhance public safety. This can improve quality of life, reduce pollution, and increase sustainability.

• Agriculture: IoT devices can be used to monitor soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient levels, as well as track livestock and crop health. This can increase crop yields, reduce waste, and improve sustainability.

• Smart homes: IoT devices can be used to control and automate various functions of a home, such as lighting, temperature, security systems, and appliances. This can improve convenience, energy efficiency, and safety.

• Industrial automation: IoT devices can be used to monitor and control manufacturing processes, optimize supply chains, and reduce downtime. This can lead to cost savings, increased efficiency, and improved product quality.

• Healthcare: IoT devices can be used to monitor patients' health remotely, provide real-time alerts and notifications, and streamline healthcare delivery. This can improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and enhance patient engagement.

Perceived benefits

The benefits that people are trying to derive from these POC's are numerous and include: Increased efficiency: IoT devices can automate routine tasks and provide real-time data and analytics, which can lead to increased productivity and reduced costs. Improved safety: IoT devices can monitor hazardous environments, provide alerts and notifications, and help prevent accidents and injuries. Enhanced sustainability: IoT devices can help reduce waste, optimize resource use, and promote environmentally-friendly practices. Better decision-making: IoT devices can provide real-time data and analytics, which can help businesses and individuals make better decisions and improve outcomes. Enhanced customer experience: IoT devices can improve convenience, personalization, and responsiveness, which can lead to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
