Why IoT Matters: User Expectations

Much as the smartphone completely transformed user

behavior and expectation in the last 10 years, connected

devices and wearables will change the way people live

and interact with products.

This means your users will expect just about every

device to connect. If you don’t connect, you can expect

to lose customers and market share.

Why IoT Matters: Revenue and Profit

2014: 2 billion devices shipped

2020: 8 billion devices shipped

2014: $180 billion in total revenue

2020: $1 trillion in total revenue

Industrial Internet of Things IIoT / Industry 4.0

T E C H TA R G E T

The driving philosophy behind the IIoT is that smart machines

are better than humans at accurately, consistently

capturing and communicating data. This data can enable companies to pick up on

inefficiencies and problems sooner, saving time and money

and supporting business intelligence efforts.

T E C H TA R G E T

In manufacturing specifically, IIoT holds great potential for

quality control, sustainable and green practices, supply chain

traceability and overall supply chain efficiency.

IoT hardware is not the end game: The profits, margins, and

innovations will come from products and services built on

open, flexible APIs.

Back-end systems—servers, storage and networks—must grow

into an Internet of Things architecture to support the

massive economic transition. From an IT support perspective,

the large number of small packets of data coming from multiple directions could cause chaos.

IoT could overwhelm a corporate WAN or [create] bottlenecks at remote or hosted sites. Any IoT

devices that have near-real-time needs should absolutely be designed and planned for.

The Internet of Things has gotten out of hand. Alongside devices where ‘smart’ makes sense, like security cameras, are items that have no defensible reason to be

on the internet, such as refrigerators, ovens, and washing

machines.

So many vendors that are making available IoT-based technology don’t necessarily have any idea how to produce those products.

There’s a toothbrush company out there with embedded technology

in their toothbrush now.

They may not understand security implications, or have a solid

security management program, so when issues are identified they

don’t know how to fix the problems, or even know how to

approach those problems.

The Internet of Things—or whatever you want to call it—has

the potential to save precious resources, spot and fight pollution,

and help people lead healthier, safer lives. But adding internet remote control to every single product on the market won’t necessarily help us get there.

What we need are thoughtful, affordable, durable devices that

actually, y’know, make our lives better.
