Retailers from New York, Chicago, Dallas, and Florida are all investing heavily into IoT to build automated, data-driven operations that can provide enhanced customer experiences in retail through the transformation of traditional retail stores into Smart Connected Ecosystems. a. Smart Shelves and Automated Inventory Management Because of RFID-based tagging and sensor technology that has been incorporated into retailers' existing inventory systems, retailers can now: - Automatically track the stock levels of products on their shelves. - Instantly notify stores of low stock levels. - Automatically reorder products for the store. - Compare losses to shrinkage. No longer have to manually check to see which shelves are stocked when they should be but instead, use sensor technology in conjunction with employee activity reports and the sales history of the store, preventing the potential loss of revenue due to empty shelves in high traffic areas such as Austin, New Jersey, and Illinois. b. In-Store Customer Behavior Tracking And Heat Mapping 1. IoT devices are now capable of being used to gather information about: 2. Where Customers Walk. 3. Which Aisles Of A Retail Store Receive The Most Customer Activity. Which Product Offers Receive The Most Customer Engagement And Is Therefore Most Likely To Result In Additional Sales. Retailers Are Now Able To Utilize This Information To Design Store Layouts Accordingly, Enhance The Placement Of Products In Store, and ultimately Increase Conversion Rates. c. Socially Tailored Shopping Experiences Using a Connected Beacon system, retailers are now able to send promotions and recommendations to Customers based on: 1. Historical purchasing data. 2. Where their customers are in relation to their specific products inside the retail 3. location. Real-time shopping activity of their customers. Thus creating an increased likelihood of a purchase and creating a better overall experience for customers.

Cities such as Chicago, New Jersey, and Dallas act as manufacturing hubs (Centers of Manufacturing) where the Internet of Things (IoT) is helping to drive Industry 4.0 (the fourth industrial revolution). To make manufacturing safer, quicker, and more intelligent, manufacturers are utilizing IoT application development and device management solutions to assist them in developing these improved manufacturing capabilities. a) Predictive Maintenance for No Downtime Using IoT sensors that track how machines run (operating parameters) and monitor in real-time (through data collected from the IoT sensors), manufacturers can prevent machine failures before they occur. By doing so, manufacturers save money through reduced downtime. b) Real-Time Asset Production Monitoring With IoT-dashboards, managers can monitor the following things: • Speed of production • Quality of output • Productivity of the workers • Flow of materials Every assembly line will operate at optimal efficiency. c) Smart Tracking of Assets The following can be found in manufacturing settings where IoT is utilized: • Automated tracking of raw materials • Barcode-based inventory control systems (RFID systems) • Real-time tracking of the location of equipment By using IoT technology to initially identify delays before they happen and accurately monitor inventory, manufacturers can improve their processes by eliminating human errors. d) Worker Safety and Environmental Monitoring Using IoT devices or sensors manufactured by manufacturers, IoT devices measure the following aspects: • Gas leaks • Dangerous working conditions • Levels of worker fatigue By doing this monitoring, it makes it easier to comply with safety standards set out by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in large production facilities operating in the states of Illinois, Austin, and Florida.

Logistics using IoT have Included all aspects of logistics like Warehouse to last mile delivery. The advantages of utilizing IoT in logistics include; Real-time monitoring and Transparency in operations, this is key to fast-paced industries impacting states such as Texas, Florida, and New York. 1. Fleet Tracking & Predictive Routing - The use of GPS and Telematics is being adopted to track vehicle location and driving habits, provide instant delivery route recommendations, and reduce fuel consumption, which results in improved delivery time and decreased operation costs. 2. Cold Chain Monitoring - With IoT Sensors used in the Food, Pharma and Chemicals transportation environment, there will be alarms to alert Logistics Managers if a shipment goes outside the defined temperature, humidity, light exposure, and vibration parameters defined by each Ship From location (for example Dallas, Chicago and New Jersey). 3. Smart Warehouses - IoT applications provide the following benefits to Automated Pick Systems, Real-time Inventory Monitoring, Robotics Integrations, and Barcode-less identification, resulting in faster and more accurate Warehouse operations.

IoT adoption involves more than installing devices. Businesses require: Secure IoT application development - Scalable device integration - Reliable IoT device management solutions - Custom dashboards and analytics - Ongoing maintenance - Cloud + edge IoT architecture A professional IoT solutions provider ensures your entire system — from sensors to software — works seamlessly and securely.
