DLP technology in spectroscopy, 3D machine vision and smart home applications
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way people, devices, and cloud-based data storage systems connect at an unprecedented speed. Analysts have estimated that by 2020, over 50 billion digital devices will be connected to the internet, creating a vast network of smart, interconnected systems.
In fields like remote sensing—such as spectroscopy, 3D machine vision, and smart home applications—customers are leveraging DLP technology to develop innovative and unique features. Across industries such as pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and manufacturing, the use of IoT solutions by developers and engineers continues to grow rapidly.

Exploring the Industrial Potential of IoT
With the help of DLP technology, handheld spectrometers can now connect to cloud-based databases containing thousands of reference materials. For example, medical professionals in hospitals and pharmacies can use these devices to remotely scan medications and verify their authenticity or check ingredient accuracy.
In agriculture, farmers can also benefit from mobile spectrometers linked to a database. By scanning grains and comparing the results with stored reference data in real time, they can determine the optimal harvest time, improving yield and quality.
Smart sensors in factories can use 3D machine vision to collect and store precise product volume measurements. Through the IoT, this data can be efficiently stored and analyzed quickly, helping monitor plant operations and enhance overall product quality.
Driving Forces Behind IoT Adoption
For many industries, the Internet of Things represents a highly attractive opportunity. From manufacturing to consumer electronics, companies are integrating various intelligent technologies into their products, enabling more precise control, better design insights, and improved efficiency.
One of the key drivers of IoT adoption is cost. Today, the cost of large-scale cloud storage for global data collection is lower than ever before. The range of embedded processor applications has expanded significantly, from wearable fitness trackers to smart refrigerators.
Despite the growing volume of data, managing it has become easier thanks to powerful and widely available computing devices like smartphones and tablets. Additionally, the widespread use of Wi-Fi and the internet has made cloud connectivity more accessible and affordable. According to the Pew Research Center, 84% of Americans currently use the internet.
Looking Ahead in the IoT Landscape
While the 2020 projections outlined in this article are ambitious, there are still several challenges that need to be addressed. One of the most pressing needs is the development of more innovative, low-power sensing technologies and solutions. Many customers are also seeking ways to make IoT integration simpler and more secure.
