IoT Data Analytics and AI Integration

Flashcards covering key concepts in IoT data analytics, including processing methods, applications, challenges, and solutions.

Batch Processing

Processes data in batches periodically, suitable for historical data analysis and reporting.

Advantages of Batch Processing

Cost-effective, simpler implementation, good for complex computations on large historical datasets.

Disadvantages of Batch Processing

Data isn't as fresh, results are delayed, and might not be suitable for immediate decision-making.

Real-Time Analytics

Processes data as it's received, allowing for immediate insights and actions.

Advantages of Real-Time Analytics

Enables immediate decision-making, better for monitoring and detecting anomalies, suitable for continuous data streams.

Disadvantages of Real-Time Analytics

Requires more complex infrastructure, potentially higher costs, and may be challenging to scale with very large data volumes.

Predictive Maintenance

Analyzing data from sensors to predict when maintenance is needed, preventing downtime.

Anomaly Detection

Identifying unusual patterns in IoT data to alert operators to potential problems or security breaches.

Smart Cities

Optimizing traffic flow, managing energy consumption, and improving waste management in urban environments.

Industrial IoT (IIoT)

Improving efficiency in factories, optimizing supply chains, and enhancing quality control.

Wearables

Analyzing data from wearable devices to provide personalized health insights and improve fitness tracking.

Healthcare (ML applications)

Remote patient monitoring, drug discovery, and disease diagnosis.

Smart Homes (ML applications)
