The success of all industries relates to attaining the satisfaction to clients with a high level of services and productivity. The success main factor depends on the extent of maintaining their equipment. To date, the Rwandan hospitals that always have a long queue of patients that are waiting for service perform a repair after failure as common maintenance practice that may involve unplanned resources, cost, time, and completely or partially interrupt the remaining hospital activities. Aiming to reduce unplanned equipment downtime and increase their reliability, this paper proposes the Predictive Maintenance (PdM) structure while using Internet of Things (IoT) in order to predict early failure before it happens for mechanical equipment that is used in Rwandan hospitals. Because prediction relies on data, the structure design consists of a simplest developed real time data collector prototype with the purpose of collecting real time data for predictive model construction and equipment health status classification. The real time data in the form of time series have been collected from selected equipment components in King Faisal Hospital and then later used to build a proposed predictive time series model to be employed in proposed structure. The Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network model is used to learn data and perform with an accuracy of 90% and 96% to different two selected components.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has penetrating all things and objects around us giving them the ability to interact with the Internet, i.e., things become Smart Things (SThs). As a result, SThs produce massive real-time data (i.e., big IoT data). Smartness of IoT applications bases mainly on services such as automatic control, events handling, and decision making. Consumers of the IoT services are not only human users, but also SThs. Consequently, the potential of IoT applications relies on supporting services such as searching, retrieving, mining, analyzing, and sharing real-time data. For enhancing search service in the IoT, our previous work presents a promising solution, called Cluster Representative (ClRe), for indexing similar SThs in IoT applications. ClRe algorithms could reduce similar indexing by O(K − 1), where K is number of Time Series (TS) in a cluster. Multiple extensions for ClRe algorithms were presented in another work for enhancing accuracy of indexed data. In this theme, this paper studies performance analysis of ClRe algorithms, proposes two novel execution methods: (a) Linear execution (LE) and (b) Pair-merge execution (PME), and studies sorting impact on TS execution for enhancing similarity rate for some ClRe extensions. The proposed execution methods are evaluated with real examples and proved using Szeged-weather dataset on ClRe 3.0 and its extensions; where they produce representatives with higher similarities compared to the other extensions. Evaluation results indicate that PME could improve performance of ClRe 3.0 by = 20.5%, ClRe 3.1 by = 17.7%, and ClRe 3.2 by = 6.4% in average.

With the development of big data and deep learning, bus passenger flow prediction considering real-time data becomes possible. Real-time traffic flow prediction helps to grasp real-time passenger flow dynamics, provide early warning for a sudden passenger flow and data support for real-time bus plan changes, and improve the stability of urban transportation systems. To solve the problem of passenger flow prediction considering real-time data, this paper proposes a novel passenger flow prediction network model based on long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. The model includes four parts: feature extraction based on Xgboost model, information coding based on historical data, information coding based on real-time data, and decoding based on a multi-layer neural network. In the feature extraction part, the data dimension is increased by fusing bus data and points of interest to improve the number of parameters and model accuracy. In the historical information coding part, we use the date as the index in the LSTM structure to encode historical data and provide relevant information for prediction; in the real-time data coding part, the daily half-hour time interval is used as the index to encode real-time data and provide real-time prediction information; in the decoding part, the passenger flow data for the next two 30 min interval outputs by decoding all the information. To our best knowledge, it is the first time to real-time information has been taken into consideration in passenger flow prediction based on LSTM. The proposed model can achieve better accuracy compared to the LSTM and other baseline methods.

Data type and amount in human society is growing at an amazing speed, which is caused by emerging new services such as cloud computing, internet of things, and location-based services. The era of big data has arrived. As data has been a fundamental resource, how to manage and utilize big data better has attracted much attention. Especially with the development of the internet of things, how to process a large amount of real-time data has become a great challenge in research and applications. Recently, cloud computing technology has attracted much attention to high performance, but how to use cloud computing technology for large-scale real-time data processing has not been studied. In this chapter, various big data processing techniques are discussed.

Internet of Things has been increasing its usage and recognition in vast sectors like Defence, Business, Industries, and Hospitals. The data disruption is strictly unacceptable in a number of these sectors because it could end up in serious Loss or Damages to the entire system. As of now, IOT is using a central cloud storage system for information storage and transactions. However, some examples already verified that Central cloud storage information might be hacked and changed by the specialists. This paper presents an IoT system having localized block chain storage which works on real time data and manipulates with narrowness of data interruption and modification and its recovery.

Objectives: To study the impact of Internet of things (IoT) on the Customer Relationship Management process and evaluate the benefits in terms of customer satisfaction and customer retention. Methods: An extensive literature review was conducting wherein the constructs of CRM and IoT are studied. Various preliminary information on IoT and CRM system along with the components of Digital enablers have been evaluated. References from research papers, journals, Internet sites, statistical data sites and books were used to collate the relevant content on the subject. The study of all the relevant scenarios where there is a possible impact of IoT origin real time data on CRM was undertaken. Findings: Customer demands are continuously evolving and it is very relevant for all the organizations to align and keep pace with the change. Organizations need to be customer centric and agile to the changing market scenarios. Evaluation of the trends in mobile internet vs desktop internet was also conducted to validate the findings. Application: The usage of real time data emerging out of the IoT landscape has become a reality with the data transmitted over the Internet and consumed by the CRM system. It improves the control on the customer relationship function helping the organizations to operate within healthy and sustained profit

With the wide application of Internet of things technology and era of large data in agriculture, smart agricultural design based on Internet of things technology can efficiently realize the function of real-time data communication and information processing and improve the development of smart agriculture. In the process of analyzing and processing a large amount of planting and environmental data, how to extract effective information from these massive agricultural data, that is, how to analyze and mine the needs of these large amounts of data, is a pressing problem to be solved. According to the needs of agricultural owners, this article studies and optimizes the data storage, data processing, and data mining of large data generated in the agricultural production process, and it uses the k-means algorithm based on the maximum distance to study the data mining. The crop growth curve is simulated and compared with improved K-means algorithm and the original k-means algorithm in the experimental analysis. The experimental results show that the improved K-means clustering method has an average reduction of 0.23 s in total time and an average increase of 7.67% in the F metric value. The algorithm in this article can realize the functions of real-time data communication and information processing more efficiently, and has a significant role in promoting agricultural informatization and improving the level of agricultural modernization.
