Future IoT-based hardware may greatly benefit from the potential of MEMS sensors. MEMS sensors are perfect for use in smaller spaces due to their small size, low cost, and low power requirements, which makes them suitable for IoT applications. These sensors have a high degree of sensitivity, sufficient dependability, and perfect accuracy, which ensures that your data is always accurate. MEMS technology is transforming how many things are produced. The high tolerances present in semiconductor process technology enable them to perform with excellent repeatability and astounding accuracy. The most current development in the electronics industry, nanotechnology, is used to design and create advanced sensors. These sensors offer a better degree of precision and accuracy than ever before because of nanotechnology. It has uses in every sphere of social and economic life and ranges in size from a few millimetres to a few nanometers. Consequently, MEMS sensors and IoT systems are growing in popularity as a result of their capacity to do effective and balanced work across a range of industries.
TopIntroduction
The Internet of Things is in charge of the internet's future. The environment is becoming more beneficial and interconnected in our daily lives. The possibilities are unlimited because there are billions of gadgets connected to the internet. Our interactions with the world around us are altering as a result of the IoT. Individuals who make use of internet of things can lead smarter lives, do better work, and have complete control of their lives. The environment is becoming more beneficial and interconnected in our daily lives. The word “clever” is increasingly frequently used these days. Everything in the environment can now have a digital identity in the online world thanks to the Internet of Things (IOT). Smart objects include the following features: Data collection from the environment, Data transfer, and Self-identification. In an Internet of Things (IoT) world, we might use integrated devices to connect everyday objects to the internet, allowing convenient interaction between people, processes, and objects like thermostats, cars, kitchen appliances, and baby monitors. IoT, or the “Internet of Things,” is a framework that unites web-enabled items or users with distinctive identities and has the capability to receive/transfer information across the internet with or without human participation (Lawton, 2015).
IoT devices combine the use of software, sensors, and other technologies on a single platform to carry out the desired outcome. IoT has many uses, including automation, healthcare, traffic management, autonomous vehicles, smart homes and appliances, smart irrigation systems, disaster avoidance, tourism, local businesses, and a lot more (Gubbi et al., 2013). The sensor is a highly important component of an IoT device because it helps develop solutions. Applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) using a range of sensors, including those for pressure, humidity, proximity, and acceleration, are urgently needed. Thermal sensors are used by IOT applications for a variety of purposes, including wearable technology, temperature sensors, and human intruder alarm systems. These IoT application devices are constructed from capacitive sensing components. These multi-sensor IoT application devices must feature an energy-efficient capacitive circuit due to the limited budget. Figure 1 illustrates several IoT device applications across many industries.

The way we connect with the environment around us is being revolutionised by IoT and MEMS sensor technology. MEMS sensors provide for increasingly precise and reliable measurements, enabling ever-sophisticated interactions between devices and their environment. MEMS sensors are essential to IoT because they link systems and equipment to the internet, enabling real-time data collection and analysis. The potential for these technologies' future development are virtually limitless.
The Internet of Things (IoT) connects many sensing gadgets to give them intelligence and decision-making autonomy. MEMS provide a number of benefits, including as low weight, low cost, high power, and small size. These traits help IOT get physical data from which to connect with the internet and the object. Since their invention, sensors have enabled data collection in a wide range of conditions. Various sensor applications using the IoT paradigm are shown in Figure 2.
