How to Build an Effective Monetisation Strategy for IoT Data
It is said that IoT technology is still in its infancy but the way it is booming in different sectors is astonishing. There are many reports and analysis regarding how this industry will impact the digital world and how it’s already proving to be a game changer. For instance, a recent report argued the medical […]
Reaching and Retaining Consumers – How IoT is Enabling Target marketing and Personalisation
The Internet of Things (IoT) has tremendously transformed the way we live our lives. In today’s connected world, devices and smart gadgets that are used as staple are actually circulating and inconspicuously sharing data about our whereabouts, preferences, and almost everything related to us. This is the very same data that helps companies to achieve […]
Big data and IoT: Everything You Need To Know
Today, we are living in a world surrounded by sensors and devices that talk to each other. Internet, being the lifeblood of this communication, plays a key role in connecting one device to another. This interconnectivity is so much important that industries would be doomed without inter-device connection and smart cities would go dumb in […]
Johan Krebbers, Shell CTO: On why poor quality data won’t cut it in delaying your IoT initiatives
The links between the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) are irresistible. As a Wired article put it, IoT ‘will produce a treasure trove of big data’ and that ‘the only way to keep up with [it] and gain the hidden insight it holds is with machine learning.’ For Johan Krebbers, IT CTO at […]
The Eyes of the IoT
Worldwide, hours of digital video are generated every second, and even more data from IoT sensors will be added with the intention to improve situational awareness. In less than four years, about 50% of the streams feeding into video management systems, will not come from fixed cameras by themselves, but will be streams from any […]
The AI and machine learning innovations taking John Deere to the next level of precision agriculture
Plenty of companies are talking about artificial intelligence and machine learning today in vague, disconnected terms. It will certainly influence our strategy; not sure how, but everything’s coming up AI, right? As a pleasant antidote to all that bluff and bluster, how about this from John Stone, senior vice president of the Intelligent Solutions Group […]
Are edge computing and IIoT changing the way we think about data?
As we observe what’s happening in industrial enterprises, there’s an interesting evolution occurring—one that has important implications as companies make their first tentative steps toward the industrial Internet of things (IIoT). Traditionally, operational technology (OT) teams have tended to think of their environment in terms of the automation equipment within their environment, both hardware and […]
IoT data deluge forcing organisations to invest in storage and server infrastructure
From the edge to the cloud, the massive amounts of data generated by the Internet of Things (IoT) are already having a noticeable impact on enterprise IT, according to the latest note from analyst firm 451 Research. According to the latest Voice of the Enterprise: IoT – Workloads and Key Projects report, organisations deploying IoT […]
Model-Driven vs Data Driven methods for Working with Sensors and Signals
There are two main paradigms for solving classification and detection problems in sensor data: Model-driven, and Data-driven. Model-Driven is the way everybody learned to do it in Engineering School. Start with a solid idea of how the physical system works — and by extension, how it can break . Consider the states or events you […]
How Big Data became the precursor to the Internet of Things
If technology is the skeleton of the IoT, data is the brain, distributed. As early as the 1990s Big Data emerged as a concept, but it wasn’t an idea that could be harnessed, leveraged and used for a common good until much more recently. Using the prefix ‘Big’ sometimes has negative connotations, but while Big […]
