What is IoT?

“Internet of Things” is not very helpful…

Instead: “Smart, connected devices”

Any device embedded with processors, sensors, software and connectivity that allows data to be exchanged between the device and some other entity.

What is IIoT?

• Order groceries

• Keep track of ToDo list and family calendar

• Retrieve recipes

• Tell the temperature

• Play favorite tunes from Pandora

• Takes automatic pictures of contents

• Keeps food cold (I think)

Manufacturing is the #1 IoT Opportunity

• $1.2-$3.7 trillion of economic impact

• IIoT isn’t “technology looking for a problem” – this is a solution to existing needs

Mobility and Sensors Enable Productivity Gains

• Using IIOT to redefine “mobile”

• Objections to wearables in consumer space not an issue

• Beacons and Glass provide instant operator feedback

• Glass and Ring Scanner provide true mobile workforce, and “MRT” updates

Final Thoughts

The two use-cases illustrate two different opportunities for IIoT

• Using data to add value and services to your smart device (GenZe Scooter)

• Using smart device to add value to your internal process (Fisher)

There is actually a third opportunity

• Value in the data itself
