Internet of Things & M2M Help Drive Speed/Flexibility into Decision-Making: Adding Value in Downturn throughout Value Chain
Definition• Networked products connected in an eco-system of: content, technologies, smart devices, infrastructure
and services• Smart devices know: who you are, where you are, your content preferences, and best medium to deliver
content• Connectivity occurs across: on-board systems, device-to-device, & device-to-web• Innovation is driven by leveraging the eco-system to deliver value to user via new capabilities … driving
new business models for both products and services
Benefits• Differentiated product to market:
Revenue growth via higher market share and/or price premiumIncreased profits via higher margin value-added extensions
1. Connected Products Solution
Pay per use
Huge Capital Investment for Hospitals, Medical Clinics
Replaced by Pay Per Use by product manufacturer
Result: Scanning used regularly for medical diagnosis
Manufacturer takes over risk
Monitors everything remotely
Detailed cost and use analysis to maintain business case
New business models:Creating Service pull – superseding technology push
MRI scanner as a totally outsourced solution: Hardware-as-a-Service
Definition• Wireless sensors (RFID, Smart Dust) monitor events and conditions• Sensors are in components, inventory, machinery, and locations• Sensors show identity, location tracking, shock, temperature, and tampering• Sensing is conducted across procurement, warehousing, manufacturing, and delivery
Benefits• Real-time visibility into part locations, status, quality, and environmental conditions• Improved supply chain reliability and productivity• Security enhanced by constant monitoring
