A growing number of commercial and private buildings are incorporating smart technology in their design and daily operations. Smart buildings bring a wide-range of conveniences to property managers, but the Internet of Things (IoT) technology that allows buildings and devices to communicate also presents a variety of security issues. Smart buildings rely on a central […]

The Internet of Things (IoT) enables disruptive transformation across multiple market segments, from consumer, enterprise, agriculture, healthcare, manufacturing, utilities to government and cities. Industrial IoT (IIoT), a subset of the larger IoT, focuses on the specialized requirements of industrial applications, such as manufacturing, oil and gas, and utilities. Although IoT and IIoT share common technologies […]

Most people don’t associate the IoT (Internet of Things) with earth movers, dump trucks and other heavy industrial equipment. But for construction, oil and gas, waste management and other industrial businesses, IoT has become an increasingly important tool for reducing inefficiencies that have plagued these industries for decades. Specifically, IoT is transforming the way these […]

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions offer tremendous and disruptive value for customers, but sometimes have the unintended effect of adversely impacting the channel that it is sold and serviced through. This results in slow adoption of IIoT solutions, even if those solutions have significant and tangible customer value. Common product-market fit mistakes While many […]

Since Internet of Things technology started to gain mainstream traction, multiple platforms, solutions and strategies have been developed. At the moment there are more than 450 ‘platforms’ commercially available. Yet, realistically speaking, most of these have been designed for a very specific function on outdated technology and mostly down a vertical application path. Similarly, gateway […]

MQTT, a light-weight IoT messaging protocol over TCP/IP, is designed for large-scale telemetry environments with remote locations where a small code footprint is required and/or network bandwidth is limited. It operates as a producer-consumer paradigm, where many “Publishers” (for example, sensors) send out messages to a small set of “Subscribers” (for example, client applications), which […]

While wireless has been a part of networking for more than a decade, the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) will make significant changes in the way network architectures end up designed. Nowhere will those changes be more immediate or far-reaching than in the ways wireless systems are used in IIoT, so we need to follow IT/OT network […]

The declining cost and size of sensors and communication technologies boosts the “Internet of Things” (IoT) by leaps and bounds. In 2017 Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT) forecast, Bain predicts that by 2020 annual revenues for the IoT vendors selling the hardware, software and comprehensive solutions would exceed $470B, while General […]

There are many companies out there that promise to deliver “edge computing” for IIoT operations. But what does “edge computing” really mean and what is its underlying value? Why applying edge computing solutions By applying edge computing to streaming data, manufacturers can meet the real-time demands of high-stakes industries and utilities without straining their bottom […]

Technology and business professionals are assaulted with new buzzwords daily. Figuring out what they mean in day-to-day work is more challenging. Nowhere is this more confusing as in the Internet of Things (IoT) space, where the term “digital transformation” is often linked to IoT initiatives. What’s real and what’s not? How far away is digital […]

In 1990, John Romkey connected the first ‘thing’ to the internet, a Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster. The seemingly odd experiment intended to prove the internet could be used to physically control an object, and it was successful. He used the internet to make toast. This fun hack was the first instance of what would eventually become […]
