What are smart infrastructures?

Smart infrastructures are defined as an intelligent system that uses a data feedback loop to enhance decision-making is known as smart infrastructure. a device that uses sensor data to monitor, measure, analyze, communicate, and take action.

Smart infrastructures are built on four principles: data, analytics, feedback, and adaptability, in addition to their physical structure (cabling, sensors, etc.).

• Data is the fundamental element required for a smart system to function and the raw material required for the operation of a smart infrastructure.
• Analytics: Information analysis is essential for obtaining useful information for decision-making.
• A data feedback loop is essential for any smart system. This feedback is visible when information about how an asset is used is collected, and this information is used to improve how the system operates.
• Adaptability: Smart systems are those that not only adapt to current demands but also future demands.
