Sensor and IoT data is telemetry from connected devices and industrial equipment — energy meters, machinery, vehicles — aggregated into measures of physical economic activity.

The primer
Sensor and IoT data is the telemetry thrown off by connected devices and meters: energy consumption, industrial equipment status, and utility usage at fine time resolution. Providers aggregate these feeds, often with customer consent, into panels that proxy real economic activity. Investors use them to track industrial output, energy demand, and utility trends ahead of official series. Buyers should weigh consent and coverage, the representativeness of the device population, and the engineering needed to turn raw telemetry into a clean signal.
