IOT in Logistics – The Trends, The Methods and the Means
The internet is now a given. It’s something that we don’t even consider. It’s always there and we can depend on it to help us just as we can depend on electricity and natural gas to keep us warm or cool.… Read More
IoT Tutorial: Chapter7 – IoT data and IoT-BigData Convergence
Introduction to IoT Data and their Characteristics
Most IoT applications up to date involve the collection and processing of IoT data i.e. data stemming from IoT sources such as sensors, wearables and other internet connected devices. In the majority of cases the business benefits of an IoT application stem from the processing… Read More
Dilbert Flopped – But We Still Laugh
This tile is about an old timer talking with a smart ass that questions why experience is relevant in todays “fast paced” technology industry. It has shown up so much on LinkedIn that I thought I should make a separate post and copy my responses into it and just link in next time.… Read More
IoT Tutorial: Chapter 6 – IoT at the Edge
IoT and the Edge Computing Paradigm – Why Edge Computing? In previous chapters we illustrated how cloud computing enables nowadays IoT applications to benefit from its capacity, scalability, elasticity and pay-as-you-go nature. During recent years a number of IoT/cloud deployments have demonstrated the merits of integrating… Read More
Whose IoT devices were breached in 2015?
IoT, as we all know, is not without issues–though we have become reliant upon it in many ways.. In 2015, there were some very viable and tangible proofs that the IoT field is fraught with real peril and that we as IoT designers, developers and companies need to be paying more attention to security. Just how many different IoT … Read More
Industry 4.0 Challenges Should Sound Familiar to Tech Companies
Following a series of acquisitions, one manufacturer is planning to pivot from a business model based on hardware sales to one based on monthly fees for bundled hardware, software, service, and connectivity. Sensors, the cloud, wireless connectivity and data analytics all play a role in this new model. It is a massive undertaking… Read More
The Evolution of IoT Platforms
Hype-cycles are well known phenomena to those who pay attention to high-tech markets. Since we are probably at a peak of the early IoT hype-cycle in 2016, it’s natural to expect this latest wave of technologies to evolve just like other tech categories have in the past, with the eventual market power and market value going to a few … Read More
IoT Tutorial: Chapter 5 – IoT Clouds and Semantic Interoperability
Semantic Interoperability of IoT Data Streams: In the previous chapter of the IoT tutorial we introduced the concept of IoT and cloud computing convergence, while presenting concrete examples of IoT/cloud infrastructures, such as popular public IoT clouds (Xively.com, Thingspeak.com). These infrastructures enable the… Read More
IoT Tutorial: Chapter 4 – Internet of Things in the Clouds
The advent of cloud computing has acted as a catalyst for the development and deployment of scalable Internet-of-Things business models and applications. Therefore, IoT and cloud are nowadays two very closely affiliated future internet technologies, which go hand-in-hand in non-trivial IoT deployments. Furthermore, most… Read More
