GWMWater’s urban water customers can now better track their water usage on their phone, computer or any other electronic device following the completion of an Urban Remote Metering project in December 2020. Internet of Things (IoT) communication technology has been used to connect the 29,000 communications-enabled, all-in-one water meters and 3000 retrofitted meters to a secure network. Using this technology GWMWater is empowering rural and urban customers with pseudo real-time data in a Customer Portal so they can better understand their water use and adjust their habits where required.

Industry 4.0 is a technology-driven manufacturing process that heavily relies on technologies, such as the internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, web services, and big real-time data. Industry 4.0 has significant potential if the challenges currently being faced by introducing these technologies are effectively addressed. Some of these challenges consist of deficiencies in terms of interoperability and standardization. Semantic Web technologies can provide useful solutions for several problems in this new industrial era, such as systems integration and consistency checks of data processing and equipment assemblies and connections. This paper discusses what contribution the Semantic Web can make to Industry 4.0.

Data type and amount in human society is growing at an amazing speed, which is caused by emerging new services such as cloud computing, internet of things, and location-based services. The era of big data has arrived. As data has been a fundamental resource, how to manage and utilize big data better has attracted much attention. Especially with the development of the internet of things, how to process a large amount of real-time data has become a great challenge in research and applications. Recently, cloud computing technology has attracted much attention to high performance, but how to use cloud computing technology for large-scale real-time data processing has not been studied. In this chapter, various big data processing techniques are discussed.

Internet of Things has been increasing its usage and recognition in vast sectors like Defence, Business, Industries, and Hospitals. The data disruption is strictly unacceptable in a number of these sectors because it could end up in serious Loss or Damages to the entire system. As of now, IOT is using a central cloud storage system for information storage and transactions. However, some examples already verified that Central cloud storage information might be hacked and changed by the specialists. This paper presents an IoT system having localized block chain storage which works on real time data and manipulates with narrowness of data interruption and modification and its recovery.

Objectives: To study the impact of Internet of things (IoT) on the Customer Relationship Management process and evaluate the benefits in terms of customer satisfaction and customer retention. Methods: An extensive literature review was conducting wherein the constructs of CRM and IoT are studied. Various preliminary information on IoT and CRM system along with the components of Digital enablers have been evaluated. References from research papers, journals, Internet sites, statistical data sites and books were used to collate the relevant content on the subject. The study of all the relevant scenarios where there is a possible impact of IoT origin real time data on CRM was undertaken. Findings: Customer demands are continuously evolving and it is very relevant for all the organizations to align and keep pace with the change. Organizations need to be customer centric and agile to the changing market scenarios. Evaluation of the trends in mobile internet vs desktop internet was also conducted to validate the findings. Application: The usage of real time data emerging out of the IoT landscape has become a reality with the data transmitted over the Internet and consumed by the CRM system. It improves the control on the customer relationship function helping the organizations to operate within healthy and sustained profit

Abstract Family doctors can have an active role in identifying significant population needs and solutions. During the COVID-19 epidemic, patient home monitoring with pulse oximetry has been a key aspect of care of patients. However, pandemics bring shortage of medical equipment such as pulse oximeters. Through the local maker community, in a matter of days four “smart” pulse oximeters were built. Following Internet of Things principles, the prototypes were programmed to transmit real-time data through Wi-Fi directly to the doctors. Each pulse oximeter served a family doctor during the pandemic. In this article we describe the process that led to the production of the technology and provide detailed instructions, which have also been shared in maker-oriented websites. Dissemination can potentially lead to additional small-scale productions, limiting future shortages.

With the wide application of Internet of things technology and era of large data in agriculture, smart agricultural design based on Internet of things technology can efficiently realize the function of real-time data communication and information processing and improve the development of smart agriculture. In the process of analyzing and processing a large amount of planting and environmental data, how to extract effective information from these massive agricultural data, that is, how to analyze and mine the needs of these large amounts of data, is a pressing problem to be solved. According to the needs of agricultural owners, this article studies and optimizes the data storage, data processing, and data mining of large data generated in the agricultural production process, and it uses the k-means algorithm based on the maximum distance to study the data mining. The crop growth curve is simulated and compared with improved K-means algorithm and the original k-means algorithm in the experimental analysis. The experimental results show that the improved K-means clustering method has an average reduction of 0.23 s in total time and an average increase of 7.67% in the F metric value. The algorithm in this article can realize the functions of real-time data communication and information processing more efficiently, and has a significant role in promoting agricultural informatization and improving the level of agricultural modernization.

E-government can greatly benefit by the use of IoT, enabling the creation of new innovative services or the transformation and enhancement of current ones, which are informed by smart devices and real-time data. The adoption of IoT in e-government encompasses several challenges of technical as well as organizational, political and legal nature which should be addressed for developing efficient government-to-citizen and government-to-society applications. This article examines IoT adoption in e-government in a holistic approach. It provides an overview of the IoT potential in e-government across several application domains, highlighting the specific issues that seek attention in each of them. The article also investigates the challenges that should be considered and managed for IoT in e-government to reach its full potential. With the application of IoT in e-government being at an early stage, the article contributes to the theoretical and practical understanding of how IoT can be leveraged for e-government purposes.

Internet of Things (IoT) consists of several tiny devices connected together to form a collaborative computing environment. Recently IoT technologies begin to merge with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) sensor networks to more efficiently gather and analyze real-time data from sensors in industrial environments. But SCADA sensor networks are becoming more and more vulnerable to cyber-attacks due to increased connectivity. To safely adopt IoT technologies in the SCADA environments, it is important to improve the security of SCADA sensor networks. In this paper we propose a multiple filtering technique based on whitelists to detect illegitimate packets. Our proposed system detects the traffic of network and application protocol attacks with a set of whitelists collected from normal traffic.
