really is still in its infancy, it is a young concept.
The term refers to the embedding of sensors and computing devices into
physical devices.
They are then connected to wired or wireless networks, giving them the
ability to communicate with one another, without human intervention.

A relevant example of

IoT
would
be
a
production
manager
informed
by
his
computer
that
particular
malfunctioning
components need to
be repaired or replaced
in two hours in order to
complete a certain
project on time. data from : http://abas-erp.com/en/news/internetthings-and-future-erp
