Data Acquisition with the Cloud and Mobile Devices

The Internet of Things, or IoT, is on the radar of every business, and the interest is getting bigger. According to Gartner Group, over 4.9 billion connected devices will be in use by the end of 2015, not including smart phones and tablets. The Internet of Things is the way data will be created and collected by the rapid and enormous growth of sensors in the physical environment. This growth will occur in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, in virtually every application from household device asset management to command and control of commercial building automation systems and factory and process automation systems in large facilities.
