smart systems

Automated clever devices

Smart systems are technologies that sense their environment, process information, and respond adaptively without constant human direction.

The term encompasses everything from thermostats that learn your schedule to industrial networks that optimize themselves: The building's smart systems reduced energy costs by thirty percent.

Smart here implies autonomous decision-making—the system adjusts based on data rather than following fixed instructions.
