Recently, a lot of attention has been paid to the field of research connected with the wireless sensor network and industrial internet of things. The solutions found by theorists are next used in practice in such area as smart industries, smart devices, smart home, smart transportation and the like. Therefore, there is a need to look for some new techniques for solving the problems described by means of the appropriate equations, including differential equations, integral equations and integro-differential equations. The object of interests of this paper is the method dedicated for solving some integro-differential equations with a retarded (delayed) argument. The proposed procedure is based on the Taylor differential transformation which enables to transform the given integro-differential equation into a respective system of algebraic (nonlinear, very often) equations. The described method is efficient and relatively simple to use, however a high degree of generality and complexity of problems, defined by means of the discussed equations, makes impossible to obtain a general form of their solution and enforces an individual approach to each equation, which, however, does not diminish the benefits associated with its use.
