Implementing IoT analytics
Although this section specifies the characteristics/considerations of IoT analytics from a technical standpoint, it is worth noting that when implementing an IoT use case, domain know-how is equally important. This know-how varies vastly from one domain to another – for example, the mechanism for detecting anomalies in the agriculture domain would be quite different from the one used for detecting anomalies in the manufacturing domain. Some of the typical scenarios/use cases for which IoT analytics is used are shown in the following figure:

IoT analytics is categorized into four different areas, depending on the insights that are generated:
- Descriptive analytics: In this type of analytics, stored historical data is analyzed to provide a view of historical performance, anomalies, and more. Even the real-time data stream can be analyzed, but the focus remains...
