The Internet of Things, or IoT, is spreading its wings across different sectors like manufacturing, retail, transportation, utilities, and even agriculture. And now, it’s making its mark in wildlife conservation, too! With the help of Industrial IoT platforms, or IIoT, wildlife projects are getting a tech boost.
Nowadays, these platforms play a crucial role in managing everything from monitoring habitats to tracking endangered species. And the best part? They do it all with less need for humans to be constantly hands-on. It’s like a big leap forward, making wildlife conservation not only smoother but also more impactful.
