Internet of things (IoT) is the technology-based solution offered to various applications such as mining sector, energy, oil & gas, healthcare, and others. These solutions implement to enhance operational efficiency along with machines integration and intellectual data analysis. It reduces chances of vulnerabilities associated with the hacking of data by using efficient tools and techniques and resulting improved decision-making. Malicious activities on the Internet are restricted with the help of digital network infrastructure of things and critical infrastructure protection (CIP) can be automated. Internet of things enables energy industries to operate efficiently on the real-time basis. Internet of things in energy also provides optimization of supply chain, increase operational efficiency, diminishing the energy trading risk, and cost cutting in productivity.
