A logistics company fits temperature sensors in its refrigerated trucks. Each sensor collects readings and transmits them over a network to a cloud platform without any human typing the data. Which description best fits this arrangement?

The arrangement is the Internet of Things. Physical devices fitted with sensors and connectivity collect readings and send them automatically over a network to a cloud platform, with no manual data entry, which is the defining feature of IoT.

Explanation

IoT refers to physical objects embedded with sensors, software and connectivity that collect and exchange data automatically. The trucks' sensors send readings to the cloud without manual entry, so this is IoT. Manual spreadsheets involve human input, so they do not fit.
