How IoT and Smart Technologies Are Transforming Electrical Systems
Introduction
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionising every sector — from agriculture to aerospace. But nowhere is its impact more profound than in electrical systems, both at the residential and industrial level. By enabling devices to communicate, collect data, and react in real-time, IoT is ushering in a new era of smart, efficient, and self-regulating electrical networks.
In this blog, we explore how IoT and smart technologies are transforming electrical systems, with practical applications, real-world benefits, and future trends to watch.
