What is the classification of IoT devices and what are the problems in the future development?

IoT devices are devices that are capable of networked wireless connections and have the ability to transmit data. IoT extends the traditional Internet device connection to the connection between physical devices and objects, and communicates data to relevant users through sensors. IoT devices can be categorized into three main groups: consumer IoT devices, industrial IoT devices, and enterprise IoT devices.

Consumer IoT devices include smart homes, smart appliances, smart toys, and smart wearables. For example, in the smart home, the device can sense the presence of people, when a person comes home, the temperature regulating device has already adjusted the indoor temperature, the lighting device is automatically turned on and reaches a suitable brightness, and the sweeping robot can be automatically activated to carry out sanitary cleaning work, which improves people's quality of life.

Industrial IoT devices are mainly used in factories and other industrial places. Most industrial IoT devices are used to monitor production lines and manufacturing processes. Sensors transmit data to the monitoring system, which can ensure the normal operation of the production process, and can also predict the time of replacing parts to ensure smooth production. In case of a failure, the system can notify technicians of the failure problem and the solution, saving time for production.

IoT devices in the enterprise category are diverse and are primarily used to maintain facilities and improve the efficiency of business operations. For example, smart devices can help organizations hold meetings. Smart sensors in conference rooms can help arrange the rooms available for a meeting, choose the size and type of room, and adjust the temperature and appropriate lighting on their own when a meeting is taking place, among other things.

Nowadays, the security issue is a major obstacle to the development of IoT devices, due to the fact that nowadays IoT devices need to be connected to the network, then the device will be in an open environment, and if it is attacked by network viruses and hackers, resulting in the loss of data, which may result in the loss of life and property, which makes the user concerned about the use of IoT devices. Muwu Technology believes that in the development of the Internet of Things, we can accelerate the technical update efforts, multiple reliable authentication, perfect encryption measures, purification of the network environment and multi-level defense measures to protect the security of Internet of Things devices.
