THE IOT

It Starts With Sensors…and Ends With Insights Actions

A sensor is a device that detects the presence of a signal and reports/signals data about that signal/eventSensors are Event-drivenMay be Stationary or Mobile

CREATING BUSINESS VALUE WITH DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE

Know Where Your Customers Are - And Where They Will Be

Know What Your Customers WantKnow When Your Customers’ Wants Change

Know Your Customers

Anticipate Opportunities

For Each Rule:Do you have or can you capture streaming data that can increase your value proposition?

Data about your product, supply chain, or customer that can improve performance, reliability, predictability…

Can you create value from new analysis of open data?Adding your own data/algorithms to open data creates value.

Tip: Choose an infrastructure that allows you to evaluate live streaming data in the context of relevant historical data.

Enabling Technologies

Everywhere indicates that services and data are generally available to customers on-demandregardless of their physical location (except where prohibited by law or technology constraints).

Aware indicates that the enterprise has adopted tools and techniques that permit itto access and leverage data from a broad range of IP-enabled devices to identify opportunitiesfor new or improved services. An aware business process or device can make real time pricing and service offering decisions based on this data, interpreted in context.


WHAT SENSOR DATA DO YOUR CUSTOMERS ALREADY PRODUCE?

Type Typical Current Use Potential Use

Accelerometer/motion Rotate screen, Switch screen to landscape/portrait

Ambient Light Adjust screen brightness

Barometer Measure altitude

Geo-Location (wifi/cellular) Location/Alerts

3-Axis Gyroscope Rotation rate for games, VR…

Proximity Turn off screen when phone is by your head

Touch ID fingerprint, Facial Recognition Security

INSIGHTS & RECOMMENDATIONS

It’s the sensors, stupid

If you’re not predicting, you’re just reporting

Own the insight, not the data

Process/Analyze As Close to the Source as Possible

Move Intelligence To The Edge (Fog)

Parallelism in Algorithms? Exploit it with hardware at the edge
