Smartphones provide IoT solutions with entire portability. To help the user be familiar with the process, they are able to manage IoT devices easily through a mobile application.

Besides, IoT will advance mobile app development to a whole new stage. There is no doubt that businesses around the world are watching and waiting to see how they can have some control over a smartphone. IoT app development is considered to have real potential to become a multi-million-dollar industry. It is not, however, just about the money. With a great deal of exciting devices and equipment, online can have an increase every single day. 

To acknowledge how apps and IoT can work together, some of the best predictions that depict real-world applications of IoT technologies are explained by following: 

1. The Rise of Automotive Apps

IoT automotive apps have been nowadays becoming a serious deal for auto manufacturers. With some big companies like Tesla, setting the tone by releasing connected, autonomous vehicles, the time these apps becoming a norm is all quickly approaching. 

IoT automotive apps also make perfect sense. Helping people with handling tasks they do every day is the very promise of IoT , and in fact, we spend a lot of time in our cars. IoT makes this one go further by automating maintenance, infotainment tasks, safety procedures, and diagnostics. 

2. More Apps in Industrial Production Management

The rapidly approaching industry 4.0 is one of the important reasons making manufacturers change their way to run plants and factories. Additionally, IoT sensors which are the application of industry 4.0 are now used to track both moving and non-moving assets and assist people on the production function in improving their management and usage.  

A smartphone app can display the movement of the connected equipment and people inside production facilities. For plant managers, it could be a blessing. Having an app collecting the movement data from assets helps to: 
  • Track shift performance
  • Identifies employees or assets entering restricted areas
  • Find the location of an employee in real-time in case of the need to reassign them to another task
  • Monitor manufacturing flow by tracking product parts of equipment like toolboxes.
