Introduction
In this project detailed information is mentioned about Enterprise system with classification of
same. Enterprise system have role in the revolutionary change for an organizations. The report
offers description about technology of Internet of Things. There is brief summary about
application and advantage of same. In this project description is also mentioned about factor
when Internet of things and Enterprise system get integrate together and after this
implementation how they both affect the growth of the company.
1. Enterprise System- The package of application software of large scale which is used
to maintain or to control the process of any business process is known as Enterprise
System. The flow of information, reporting or analysis of data is some of tasks which
are executed by Enterprise system. Enterprise system is categorized in three parts
defined below:-
(A). Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
(b). Management in supply chain
(c). Customer Relationship Management Software (Introduction of Enterprise System ,
2019)

(A). Enterprise resource planning (ERP) - It is one of type of Enterprise system or
application and it is used in companies to unite crucial parts of their business. It is that
system software which can help to merge planning, purchase, finance, marketing etc. It also
allows to various departments for sharing their information’s with other companies
efficiently and easily. ERP system should be used in very organized way else it becomes a
technology with contradictions.
With growing development a lot of change has been observed in the ERP system, trend of its
use is getting implement with new ideas and they are categorized in three different types
which are described below:
 Industry specific Inform
 Web based or Cloud
 ERP for small business
Industry Specific Inform: The type of ERP software that is working for manufacturing and
distribution industries. This type is designed for the large corporations and according the
need of the organization.
Web based or Cloud ERP: Some of the organization prefers cloud or web based services
instead of using advanced ERP software, which is known as Software as a Service (SaaS).
In Cloud ERP business gets an access to portal for software and storing data over internet.
Basically cloud ERP works on remote server and just because of that organization gets the
access anytime and anywhere which can be access from any device having connection with
internet.
ERP for small business: When there is only requirement of order management, sales or
human resources but not having need of warehouse management or manufacturing
component then there is an option of ERP for small business (Enterprise resource plamnning ,
2019).
Areas where ERP can be used are mentioned below: -
 Management Accounting

 Human resources
 Production
 Processing of orders
 Management in supply chain
 Project management
 Management of relations with Customers
 Data services : Distinct "self–service" connection with customers, suppliers and/or
employees
 Department related with the accounts and Finance

(b) Supply chain management: It is system software that is designed to blend planning
across all subsidiaries, departments and branches of any organization introduces by the
enterprise system. It helps in linking strategies and operation targets together although
enterprise planning develops plans for financial and operational aspects of any organization.
Characteristics of Supply chain management:
 Planning of expenses
 Analysis of cash flow

Enterprise system integration with IoT 6
 Planning of capital
 Planning of Balance sheet
 Work force arrangement
 Profitability analysis
 Planning for merging business
 Planning for capacity of products
 Planning for sales and operations
 Strategic planning
(c) Customer Relationship Management Software: - Software which is designed to maintain
all of information’s or to store data which is required for dealing customers. It combines all
related data of customers at one place and provides easy access to every data like contact
data, purchase history, for getting updates of customers and tracking targets for sales
department. This software includes with characteristics which helps sales department to
work them with marketing material on basis of customer selection (Customer relationship
management , 2019) .
Internet of Things (IoT):
Once it was assumed that if there would be any technology that knew everything which can
access data and execute task without any human or manual help. It would be easy to know
about things that when they are going to replace or repairing. Internet of Things is based on
same concept it is a system which is connected to physical things which are executable
through internet. In this technology term ‘things’ is related to human with a heart monitor
or it can be an automobile compatible with sensors. Simply it can be defined as technology
any object which is assigned with IP address and capability to receive or to transfer data
over sever without any human assistance (Introduction to Internet of Things , 2017).

Importance of IoT: -
When anything which is connected with internet then it may transmit or receive the information
or may perform both tasks at same time. It is not mandatory to have a good storage capacity to
perform task smartly only required thing is connection with storage of super computer.
In this technology the things are being connected on internets which are categorized in three
parts.
i. Things which stores information and then send it.
ii. Things that receives information and then start executing the task.
iii. Things that can do both the above.
Use of IoT:
Things of Internet not required of any advertisement anymore, it occupied its value slowly but on
large scale and now it is helping the organizations for their better growth and to gain high
production. IoT not only create a path to connect the convenient life style but also reduce labor
which is eliminating chance of human errors. A precise number of data and information can be
collected by connecting devices with the internet (Use of IoT, 2019).

Fundamental features:
 Interconnectivity-With the IoT everything can be connected with each other with global
data and infrastructure of communication.
 Heterogeneity- Tools or gadgets which are related to IoT they are heterogeneous in
nature as they are totally based upon various hardware domains and networks.
 Dynamic changes- Devices changes their state dynamically e.g. Connected/disconnected
it also includes location and speed (characterstics of Internet of Things , 2017).

Example of “IoT”
IoT changes our globe to new horizons by connecting all things that touched with casual or executive
lives by sensing tool and through cloud computing introduces next level development. IoT can be defined
as Magic for two reasons (I) Enclosing nature of concept (II) Improper and confusing technical
explanations.
 Manufacturing efficiency:
Sensors which embedded with manufacturing equipment help to identify mistakes in products; it
improves manufacturing efficiency without wasting of time and money.
 Energy efficiency:
The organization can preserve or can save energy by use of the IoT and its application in their
business. By the use of the intelligent algorithms, sensor data the sensors identifies the
temperature, lights and act according to the same by which energy can be stored and preserve this
effect organization in their costing of products. One of well-known multinational organizations
Google is saving 15% of energy by use of Internet of things.
 Agricultural Efficiency:
When through sensors state of soil can be identify and usage of supply of water and other
nutrients will be according to state of soil, it will help in outdoor agriculture. Rather than this in
indoor agriculture application of IoT will help sensor to work according to climate and
temperature of place to maximize the production.
 Health and Safety:
Internet of Things activates surveillance and observation that combine all of these together to
improve health and safety.
 Law enforcement:
As IoT provides the better surveillance and tracking tools to detect location where crime is
happening so that authorities will be able to respond faster and can keeps citizen safe.

 Environmental Quality:
The sensors with help of IoT are capable to identify viruses, bacteria or pathogens so that danger
can be detected and eliminate before any casualties.
 Disaster warning:
The sensors are efficient to receive information about critical change in environment; it permits
detection of disasters like earthquake, tsunami, cyclones etc.
 Inventory Efficiency:
If it gets to know that what product is in stock or which is not then it would be easy task for
inventory manager to order products according to availability, it will reduce wastage of money
and unnecessary product order. (Examples of IoTt , 2018)
Enterprise System and IoT:
In Embedded system enterprise system and internet of things are latest technologies including
characteristics like smart sensors, communication technologies, and Internet Protocols. The basic
postulate of this technology is having smart sensors and actuator delivery of enterprise applications.
In introductory phase of Internet of Things shows revolution in device to device, machine to machine
technologies. IoT is playing a source of connectivity by enabling access with applications and
physical things which are responsible for decision making tasks for any organization. Internet of
Things has introduced opportunities to develop reliable, powerful industrial and enterprise systems
(Enterprise syste, and Internet of Things , 2016).
Factors explaining the importance after integration of both technologies: -
 Improves Data availability:
Enterprise system is an essential part of any business for every organization which is looking
about their growth and development with developing market. IoT provides that platform to
companies where they can improve their data availability including accuracy. In sector of
manufacturing IoT has already made a significant impact.
