For many people, especially in Indonesia, the Internet of Things (IoT) still feels complicated or distant. Some may not even know the term yet. But in reality, IoT has already become part of our daily lives. Simply put, IoT is about everyday devices that are designed to connect to the internet, so they can automatically send and receive data, help you monitor things in real time, and even make certain tasks run by themselves without manual effort.

To make it easier, here are some real-life examples of IoT that are commonly found around us:

1. Live ride tracking

   When you order an ojek online, you can track the driver’s exact location in real time. That’s IoT—GPS sensors sending live data straight to your mobile application.

2. Smart meters for electricity and water

   Prepaid or postpaid meters are becoming common in many homes and apartments across metropolitan areas of Jakarta and Tangerang. These meters record usage automatically and can even be integrated directly into tenant billing systems, making usage tracking and payments seamless.

3. E-Toll cards

   Every time your car passes a toll gate, the e-toll card is tapped and your balance is deducted instantly — then the gate opens and you drive through. This entire process combines sensors and IoT systems.

4. Online CCTV Camera

   Security cameras that you can view anytime from your mobile phone are also IoT in action, enabling surveillance that’s not only convenient and reliable, but also fully remote.

5. Smartwatches

   From counting your steps and monitoring your heartbeat to receiving WhatsApp notifications, wearables like these rely on IoT to sync data with your smartphone.

At a larger scale, the same technology isn’t just for personal use—it can also run in industrial estates, housing areas, and even smart cities. With IoT, things like water, electricity, and gas can be tracked in real time, the data can be connected in one place, and billing can happen automatically.

This is exactly what we focus on at PT IoT Kreasi Indonesia. As an end-to-end IoT solution provider, we help businesses, communities, and governments implement smart systems that drive efficiency and accelerate digital transformation across Indonesia.

In other words, IoT is no longer just the future—it’s already shaping the way we live and work today.
