A logistics company wants to track the location and temperature of perishable goods during transit. They plan to attach sensors to shipping containers and send data to a central monitoring system. Which IoT application sector does this scenario primarily belong to?

Industrial IoT, because the goods are being transported in an industrial supply chain.

Transportation, because the scenario involves tracking goods in transit.

Smart home, because the sensors are monitoring environmental conditions.

Smart agriculture, because the goods are perishable and need environmental monitoring.

A city deploys smart waste bins with fill-level sensors. The sensors send data to a cloud platform that optimizes collection routes. The city also wants to add a feature that automatically locks the bin lid when it is full. Which architecture change is required to support the new feature?

Add an actuator to the bin and integrate it with the cloud platform

Replace the fill-level sensor with a camera

Move the cloud platform to a local server

Increase the network bandwidth for the sensors

A city is deploying smart streetlights that adjust brightness based on ambient light and motion. The lights also report energy usage to a central system. The city wants to reduce energy consumption but also needs to ensure public safety by keeping streets adequately lit. Which IoT characteristic is most critical to achieving both goals?

Actuation, because it physically adjusts the brightness of the lights.

The combination of sensing and actuation, because the system must detect conditions and respond by adjusting the lights.

Connectivity, because it allows the central system to monitor energy usage.

Sensing, because it detects ambient light and motion to inform brightness adjustments.

A manufacturing company wants to implement predictive maintenance on its machines. The company has a mix of old and new machines, and the old machines do not have built-in sensors. The company wants to minimize downtime and avoid replacing the old machines. Which approach is most effective?

Replace all old machines with new IoT-enabled ones

Use manual inspections instead of sensors

Retrofit the old machines with external sensors
