TE 01 - New developments on the Internet of Things

2. 2
Our vision of the Internet of Things.
The amount and variety of data from smart devices is increasing
exponentially. It is predicted that, by 2020, there will be an installed
base of over 50 billion smart devices worldwide
all, IoT indeed has a
efficiency gain
potential, but …
Data are a genuine
revolution, but our customers
delivered as an evolution
Cities are complex systems that generate huge amounts of data.
Intelligent use of these data in real time facilitates the transition
towards a more sustainable city model

IoT to connect machines/infrastructures to manage in real time
To take full advantage of the Internet of Things,
a highly secure software infrastructure is
required that has broad connectivity, is modular
and extensible, can manage and analyze huge
amounts of data and is capable of delivering
knowledge and results to an increasingly mobile
workforce.”

The Internet of Things must include functionality at the lowest
levels as well as connectivity, it must be on a huge scale, and

Challenges:
“IT-OT convergence is a critical step: IT today: Managing a world of
“Persons”; OT today: Controlling a world of “Things”
“City-wide integration software is the key to enabling the Internet of
Things through an open, innovative platform that allows smart devices,
systems and people to connect more easily and interact in a secure,
highly scalable way”

Conclusions
All in all, IoT + “Big Data” indeed has a huge
efficiency gain potential and are a genuine
revolution, but …
• IoT is more than connectivity and Big Data
• It must include functionality at the lowest
levels.
• It must be on a huge scale and in real time
• Cities will implement incrementally…more
evolution than revolution
