Research summary
The summary, key coverage points, methodology and relevance notes below are this website’s own description of the book, written from the published description and table of contents. The official publisher description and citation details are given further down.
- The Problem
- Industrial Internet of Things deployments improve efficiency but can add to environmental impact unless sustainability is designed in from the start.
- The Approach
- Edited volume of 13 chapters; chapters include technical frameworks (smart farming with AIoT, IoT data fusion for disease surveillance), a meta-analysis of IoT integration in education, and sector reviews (manufacturing, dairy, mobility, SMEs).
- The Core Contribution
- The volume shows how IoT can be designed for sustainability across education, waste reduction, agriculture and smart farming, disease surveillance, autonomous vehicles, Industry 5.0 manufacturing and SMEs, combining technical frameworks with sector reviews.
- The Citation
- Thandekkattu, S. G., & Vajjhala, N. R. (Eds.). (2024). Designing Sustainable Internet of Things Solutions for Smart Industries. IGI Global. https://doi.org/10.4018/979-8-3693-5498-8
What question does this book address?
How can Internet of Things solutions for industry be designed and deployed so that they improve efficiency while minimising environmental impact and meeting sustainability goals?
What does the book cover?
Thirteen chapters cover sustainable IoT in smart classrooms and education, IoT and clean technologies for waste reduction, GPS, sensors and drones for minimising environmental impact, deep learning and IoT in agriculture and smart farming, big data for sustainable solutions, IoT data management and analytics, IoT data collection and fusion for infectious-disease surveillance, IoT in autonomous vehicles, smart manufacturing in Industry 5.0, IoT in the dairy industry, and smart technology and talent management in SMEs.
Why does it matter?
IoT deployments often overlook environmental considerations. The volume frames sustainability — renewable energy integration, waste reduction and ethics — as a design requirement for industrial IoT rather than an afterthought.
What the book covers
- Opens with education: current trends in smart classrooms and sustainable IoT, and a meta-analysis of IoT integration for data-driven decision making in education.
- Covers environmental applications — IoT and clean technologies for waste reduction, and GPS, sensors and drones for minimising environmental impact.
- Devotes several chapters to agriculture and data: deep learning, IoT, sensors and farm machinery; a smart-farming AIoT framework; big data for sustainable solutions; and IoT data management and analytics.
- Presents a framework for IoT data collection and fusion in infectious-disease surveillance.
- Addresses industry sectors: autonomous vehicles, smart manufacturing in Industry 5.0, the intelligent dairy industry, and SMEs adopting smart technology and talent management.

Publisher’s description
As industries worldwide grapple with the dual challenge of meeting modernization demands while addressing urgent environmental concerns, the need for sustainable solutions has never been more pressing. The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies offers a promising avenue for enhancing efficiency and productivity in various sectors. However, the design and implementation of IoT solutions often overlook environmental considerations, leading to missed opportunities for eco-friendly innovation. This oversight exacerbates environmental degradation and undermines efforts to achieve sustainability goals. Designing Sustainable Internet of Things Solutions for Smart Industries offers a forward-thinking approach to integrating IoT technologies with environmental stewardship. By delving into the intricacies of sustainable IoT design and implementation, this book provides engineers, designers, and industry leaders with the knowledge and tools necessary to create innovative solutions that prioritize sustainability. Through a mix of technical insights, case studies, and strategic frameworks, readers are equipped to navigate the complexities of IoT deployment while minimizing environmental impact. With a focus on addressing pressing research questions and overcoming key challenges, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for driving eco-friendly innovation in smart industries. By emphasizing the integration of IoT with renewable energy sources, waste reduction strategies, and ethical considerations, it offers a roadmap for industry professionals, academics, policymakers, and technologists, to create smart industrial environments that are not only efficient but also environmentally responsible.
