The smart money in industry in 2016 is on the Internet of
Things…make that the Internet of all things. GE wants to create a multibillion
dollar business out of IoT. And Samsung recently launched a Hub with open
protocols for connecting sensors and smart home accessories, enabling combining
products from various manufacturers. Indeed, near-term viable prospects for the
IoT include more widespread use of intelligent controls for everything from obvious
matches such as HVAC systems, elevators, home security, and lighting to such
categories as driverless cars, smart parking, optimization of driving routes to
bypass traffic congestion, early detection of tremors in earthquake prone
areas, and monitoring of variations of water levels in rivers and reservoirs.
The reach of IoT is practically limitless. Where do you foresee the IoT at your
facility and when?
