Internet of Things: Redefining Industries

IOT is the evolution of Mobile, Home and Embedded applications that are being connected to the internet integrated with greater computing capabilities on data and analytics to extract meaningful information.This convergence of things, data and processes will transform our life, business and everything in between.

Internet is the heart of this technology and hardware will be the spinal code. Analytics performed on acquired data from sensors will result in an intelligent system.Of course, the primary value in an IoT system is in the ability to perform analytics on the acquired data and extract useful insights, building a pipeline for performing scalable analytics with the volume and velocity of data associated with IoT systems

Today, billions of devices are connected to the internet and soon hundreds of billions of devices. As related devices connected with each other they can become an intelligent system of systems and when these intelligent devices and systems of system share data and analyse it, they can transform our businesses our lives and our world in countless ways.

Here is an example of bigger picture:
Imagine we have an intelligent device such as a smart traffic camera. The camera can monitor the road for congestion, accidents and weather condition and communicate that status to the gateway that combine data from other cameras creating an intelligent city-wide traffic system.Imagine similar intelligent traffic system sharing data to a common system creating a large intelligent system of systems.The possibility comes from analysing data from system of systems and using it in its best possible way to improve living.

Example, this smart traffic camera identified congestion due to an accident.That insight can be sent to city-wide transportation system which can analyse the impact on other city systems.Recognising the accident is near the airport and other offices it can inform those systems so that they can adjust flight and office schedule.You can also analyse and derive optimum route around the accident inform people.

This is just one example of the potential benefit that can happen when intelligent systems share insights with other systems creating the ever-expanding system.

The possibilities are endless..
