ABSTRACT
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been recognized as a disruptive technology for the flying ad hoc network. IoT can be viewed as a network of networks. The Hydro One Networks in the state of Ontario, Canada started a pilot project in 2004 in which around 400 participants were included from the city of Barrie, Brampton, Lincoln, Peterborough, and Timmins. The IoT can be used by the various partners of the supply chain to monitor its execution process in real time and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the energy consumption. IoT technology can be combined with real-time location systems to get live updates from the factory floor, enabling manufacturers to continuously monitor machine activity, maintenance needs, and also product movement during production. A number of possible options are available for the placement of light and acoustic sensors in a monitoring system.
