IoTdrevet

IoTdrevet is a term used to describe systems and strategies that are driven by the Internet of Things. In this approach, networks of connected devices collect data, enable automation, and support data-driven decision making across organizations and infrastructure. The concept is discussed in Nordic and European contexts as part of digital transformation and smart-infrastructure initiatives.

Core elements include sensors and actuators, edge computing, IoT platforms, data analytics, and application software. Interoperability and security are central, with emphasis on scalable architectures, standard protocols, and identity management.

Typical architecture involves devices generating data, gateways or edge devices preprocessing data, and transmission to cloud or hybrid platforms. Data is processed, stored, and analyzed to support dashboards and automated actions.

Applications span industrial automation for predictive maintenance, smart cities for lighting and traffic management, agriculture for irrigation control, energy management, healthcare monitoring, and logistics.

Benefits include improved efficiency, reduced downtime, and new business models. Challenges cover security risks, privacy concerns, data governance, interoperability, deployment costs, and regulatory compliance.

Adoption considerations include governance, data ownership, risk assessment, and continuity planning. Adherence to standards and certifications can improve interoperability and trust.
