AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) Explained
The Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) represents a powerful convergence of AI and the Internet of Things (IoT). It refers to a system of smart, interconnected devices that gather, process, and analyze data in real time — often directly at the source. These devices, linked via a cloud platform, leverage edge computing to minimize latency and enhance responsiveness by processing data locally on the hardware itself, such as cameras, sensors, and smart speakers.
At the heart of AIoT is edge computing, a method that enables data processing near its point of origin. This system relies on compact devices embedded with self-learning neural networks. Tasks such as data identification, structuring, analysis, and processing are all handled on-site — at the so-called “edge” of the network. Only the most valuable and refined data is then transmitted to a central server or cloud for further use.
Real-World Applications of AIoT

Autonomous Vehicles. Modern vehicles are equipped with a wide range of sensors, making them part of the IoT ecosystem. These sensors collect environmental data, which AI systems analyze in real time to make driving decisions.

Healthcare Monitoring. In hospitals and at home, AIoT helps track patients’ vital signs. AI algorithms evaluate the data and alert healthcare providers if signs of danger emerge.

Smart City Surveillance — NVIDIA. NVIDIA's smart city technology continuously processes footage from surveillance cameras to detect threats and optimize traffic flow in real time.

Los Angeles Smart Traffic Control. An AI-powered traffic management system in Los Angeles adjusts traffic light patterns based on real-time congestion, improving city traffic efficiency beyond simple timers.

Remote Patient Monitoring. Devices like the “Dexcom G6" constantly monitor blood glucose levels and send alerts to a patient’s smartphone, improving disease management and early intervention.

Smart Hospital Beds. These beds collect patient data and notify medical staff of critical changes, supporting better, faster care in hospital environments.
The Internet of Things (IoT) streamlines everyday tasks, while neural networks drive intelligent automation. Together, they form AIoT — a transformative technology reshaping industries across the board. At Plavno, we design and develop cutting-edge AIoT systems tailored to boost operational efficiency and unlock new levels of performance for businesses in any sector.
