A Look at the Future ofIoT Sensor Technology

Many of the benefits that IoT sensor technology may bring to organizations and society have not been completely realized, allowing for additional research in the coming years.

FREMONT, CA: The Internet of Things (IoT) has grown at a breakneck pace over the years, as more sectors see innovation gaps that the technology can solve, and it shows no signs of slowing down. According to estimations, the market for IoT sensors will reach $34.4 billion in value by 2024. Additionally, sensors have become smaller and more portable, enabling the use of more detailed data.

With this in mind, this article will examine what industry experts believe the future of IoT sensor technology may hold for enterprises.

Reduced pricing and increased applications

Along with shrinking in size, the cost of IoT sensors has declined over time, making the technology more affordable to a broader range of enterprises and industries. This has resulted in a flood of new IoT sensor applications.

IoT applications

The number of sensor types available on the market and the number of applications in the industry are likely to grow. While solution providers will be able to invest sufficient trust in networks and sensors to support several apps concurrently, this will need altering cyber security methods to ensure that these applications are appropriately secured.

Asset management

Asset management is crucial to the success of IoT sensor technologies in the future. This enables enterprises to manage their sensor domain at scale, providing a bird's eye view of their devices' activity. Additionally, it provides a high level of autonomy by automating tasks when sensors are inactive or malfunctioning, such as when a signal is only intermittent.

Data security is also contingent upon managing IoT sensors at scale, particularly in light of the enormous amount of data generated by IoT devices. Regular IoT security evaluations are necessary to ensure that an IoT platform adheres to the highest security requirements possible, which asset management enables. It promotes security expansion.

IoT and smart cities

Analyzing the stream of essential data generated by sensors is critical for the continued safety and operation of structures and the health of communities, economies, and livelihoods. When this technique is broadened to encompass entire metropolitan regions, the full potential of smart cities will be realized.
