Precision: Principles, Practices and Solutions for the Internet of Things Review

Publisher: McGraw Hill Education

Writer: Timothy Chou

The book covers all the basics of the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). It talks about a vendor-neutral, acronym free framework. As the sub title suggests, the book explains about Principles, Practices, and Solutions for the Internet of Things. The reader would know about using software to operate more precisely, whether they are an HVAC producer, a farmer or agricultural machine maker or in the aviation industry.

The book is splitted into two parts:

Part A – In the first part, you would read about Principle and Practice. It provides in depth knowledge about the framework and key principles of enterprise IoT.

Part B — In the second part, you would know about the Solutions available for IoT.
