Internet of Things

• Approximately 4.9 billion connected devices in use in 2015
• 1 in 5 developers now work on IoT projects
• ~19 million developers worldwide, ~19% are doing IoT related-work, up 2% from last year

Examples of increased Efforts

• Connected Kitchens - Gartner projects sensors in devices that could result in 15% savings in the food and beverage industry by in the next 5 years.

Where is the Real Money in the IoT?

• Services that pull and house the data!
• IoT standards are in flux, some very complex, but there will always be data
• Gartner projects IoT will add $1.9 trillion in value to businesses
• Vertical integration of sensors with business services will dominate IoT

AoT or Analytics of Things

Connecting inanimate objects and sensors to the Internet is only the first step. The term AoT points to the fact that IoT devices generate a lot of data that must then be analyzed to be useful.

• Pattern recognition - identifying patterns and developing statistical models that explain variations
• Anomaly detection - identifying situations that are outside of defined boundaries, such as a temperature that is too high or the presence of an individual in an area that should be uninhabited
• Predictive asset maintenance - detecting potential problems in machinery before they occur
• Optimization - optimizing automated processes, such as cutting logs at a lumber mill or calibrating machinery in a factory
• Prescription - recommending the best course of action for a given situation, often for front-line workers, as when weather and soil sensing is used for "prescriptive planting" by farmers
• Situational awareness - piecing together seemingly disconnected events and explaining them, as when a series of oil temperature readings in a car, combined with dropping fuel efficiency, indicate it's time for an "oil change"
