“Smart devices” are electronic devices that can connect, interact, receive feedback and self-optimize their processes. These devices are designed to be efficient (energy/time) with significantly higher functionality.

While the epidemic has created several hurdles, ranging from supply chain delays to store closures and social distancing regulations to economic damage, businesses still have numerous prospects for growth. Manufacturers, integrators, merchants and others can benefit from these opportunities by helping to provide a better smart experience for consumers and end users.

In 2021, BCC covered many topics on IoT-driven technologies and devices. In this review, we cover four of our most popular topics:

  • A Smart Grid is an advanced electricity transmission system that utilizes sensors to gather data about energy usage and the requirements of end users.
  • A smart transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another, often a signal in one form of energy to a signal in another form of energy.
  • A smart speaker is a type of wireless electronic device with an integrated virtual assistant that offers interactive actions and hands-free activation.
  • A smart display is a monitor that can be connected wirelessly and requires little or no keyboard activity.
