IoT

Connecting the physical and cyber worlds

The Internet of Things or IoT is the start of a new wave of software that observes, measures and records the state of the physical world and marks the beginning of the ubiquitous computing paradigm.

IoT systems are computing devices that combine three core elements; the use of sensors or integrations to establish data acquisition, computational processing capabilities and the communication of data across networks.

The degree to which these three different aspects are implemented vary significantly depending on the application.

Disruptive applications

The number of applications for IoT is staggering, from consumer devices to deep industrial niches - the devices need not be connected to the public internet, but rather an organisations IT infrastructure - unlocking a multitude of digital opportunities; from Big Data - known as the ‘new oil’, to unlocking new business operational understanding through to novel, servitised business models.

By first understanding your business and its model of operation, the applications of IoT can be quickly identified, evaluated and prioritised.

A transformative understanding of assets and customers

By using the system-thinking oriented principles of IoT, a step-change in how processes and behaviour can be captured - giving new insights into the way your organisation and its systems behave.

Connecting the physical and cyber worlds

The Internet of Things (IoT) enables us to observe, measure and understand the physical world. As IoT technology becomes more accessible and affordable, its application is now a key part of any digital strategy that connects software and hardware.

IoT systems encompass a number of types of technology; 

  • Sensors

  • Networking and communication

  • Cloud computing platforms

  • Machine learning and data analytics

  • User Interfaces (UIs) and User Experience (UX)

There is rarely a “one size fits all” solution to IoT, and its application requires an understanding of all these technologies.

Disruptive applications

The number of applications for IoT ranges from consumer devices such as doorbells and fridges, to Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) spanning single machines and entire supply chains.

Whether connected across the world, or locked down to a single factory, data collected through IoT can unlock new insight, operational understanding, and entirely new business models.

By first understanding your business and its model of operation, the applications of IoT can be quickly identified, evaluated and prioritised.
