WHAT IS IoT?
• The basic premise and goal of IoT is to “connect the unconnected.”
• This means that objects that are not currently joined to a computer network, namely the Internet, will be connected so that they can communicate and interact with people and other objects.
• A tighter integration between the physical world and computers is enabled.
GENESIS OF IoT • The person credited with the creation of the term “Internet of Things” is Kevin Ashton in 1999.
• Computers depended on humans to input data and knowledge
through typing, bar codes, and so on.
• IoT is changing this paradigm; in the twenty-first century, computers
are sensing things for themselves. EVOLUTION OF INTERNET Internet Phase Definition Connectivity (Digitize access) This phase connected people to email, web services, and search so that information is easily accessed. Networked Economy (Digitize business) This phase enabled e-commerce and supply chain enhancements along with collaborative engagement to drive increased efficiency in business processes. Immersive Experiences (Digitize interactions) This phase extended the Internet experience to encompass widespread video and social media while always being connected through mobility. More and more applications are moved into the cloud. Internet of Things (Digitize the world) This phase is adding connectivity to objects and machines in the world around us to enable new services and experiences. It is connecting the unconnected. IoT and DIGITIZATION • IoT and digitization are terms that are often used interchangeably.
• At a high level, IoT focuses on connecting “things,” such as objects
and machines, to a computer network, such as the Internet.
• Digitization, as defined in its simplest form, is the conversion of
information into a digital format. • For example, the whole photography industry has been digitized. IoT IMPACT • About 14 billion, or just 0.06%, of “things” are connected to the Internet today. • IoT is going to allow self-driving vehicles to better interact with the transportation system around them through bidirectional data exchanges while also providing important data to the riders.
• For example, with IoT-connected roadways, a concept known as
Intersection Movement Assist (IMA) is possible. This application warns a driver (or triggers the appropriate response in a self-driving car) when it is not safe to enter an intersection due to a high probability of a collision—perhaps because another car has run a stop sign or strayed into the wrong lane. • In the future, car sensors will be able to interact with third-party applications, such as GPS/maps, to enable dynamic rerouting to avoid traffic, accidents, and other hazards. • A convergence of factory-based operational technologies and architectures with global IT networks is starting to occur, and this is referred to as the connected factory. • As with the IoT solutions for the connected roadways previously discussed, there are already large numbers of basic sensors on factory floors. However, with IoT, these sensors not only become more advanced but also attain a new level of connectivity. • While we tend to look at IoT as an evolution of the Internet, it is also sparking an evolution of industry. • Another promising IoT technology in the smart connected building, d one that is seeing widespread adoption, is the “digital ceiling.”
• This technology encompasses several of the building’s different
networks—including lighting, HVAC, blinds, CCTV (closed-circuit television), and security systems—and combines them into a single IP network. IoT CHALLENGES • Scale • Security • Privacy • Big Data and Data Analytics • Interoperability
