Background

4. IoT Described
The main concept of IoT is the ability to
connect loosely defined smart objects and
enable them to interact with
• Other objects,
• the environment, or
• more complex and legacy computing
devices

5. Basics of IoT
Enabler

6. IoT: Building Blocks
Sensors will be integrated in buildings,
vehicles, and common environments, carried
by people and attached to animals and will
communicate among them locally and
remotely in order to provide integrated
services.

7. An IOT enabled world
• Smart objects will densely populate human life and
human environment, interacting both by providing ,
processing and delivering any sort of information or
command
• Objects in the environment will be able to tell us about
themselves, their state, or their surroundings and
can be used remotely

8. Value proposition: Why Go for IoT?
• Productivity and cost savings-
• IoT can save CAPEX, Labor and Energy.
• Verizon is saving more that 55 million kWh annually
across 24 data centers by deploying hundreds of
sensors and control points throughout the data
center, connected wirelessly
• The result is a reduction of 66 million pounds of
greenhouse gases per year

9. Basics of IoT
Examples

10. IoT in Action
The wave of data on the network can be used
● to make lives easier ( think: turn on your heater
before u can get home)
● drive efficiency ( think: turn on your washing machine
when electricity usage and prices fall in the middle of
the night)
● help us anticipate things without a trip to a
specialist ( full-body health monitor or car engine
diagnosis)

11. IoT : Examples
• Mobile devices can adopt silent mode when entering a
meeting room if this is the request of the meeting
moderator
• Alert user and turn-off the radio before entering sensitive
medical areas or
• detect when user enters the car and connect to its sound
systems
• Wireless sensors could let people check where their pet is
real-time as well as control the temperature of each room
of their home while they are out

12. IoT : Examples
• Emergency services could be remotely
and automatically altered
•if fire is detected in a building or
•if a patient’s medical parameters drop
beyond a critical threshold

13. Basics of IoT
Consequence

14. The Consequence
The emergence of a network of
interconnected uniquely identifiable
objects and their virtual representation in
an Internet alike structure that is positioned
over a network of interconnected
computers allowing for the creation of a new
platform for economic growth.

15. IoT Paradigm

29. Three Categories of IoT Users
IoT Application Space

30. IoT Application Space
● The IoT application space is very diverse and IoT
applications serve different users.
● Different users categories have different driving needs
● From IoT perspective there are three important user
categories
● The individual citizens
● Community of citizens ( citizens of a city, region,
country or society as a whole)
● the enterprise

31. The individual citizens- examples
● To increase their safety of safety of their family members- for
example - remotely controlled alarm systems or activity detection
for elderly people
● To make it possible to execute certain activities in a more
convenient manner- for example personal inventory reminder
● To generally improve lifestyle- for example monitoring health
parameters during a workout and obtaining expert’s advice
based on the findings or getting support during shopping
● To decrease the cost of living - building automation that will
reduce energy consumption and thus the overall cost

32. IoT- Enterprise as a user has different drivers
Enterprise users of IoT have different needs and different
drives that can potentially push the introduction of IoT-
based solutions
● Increased productivity
● Market differentiation
● Cost efficiency

33. IoT- Society as a user has different drivers
Society as a user is concerned with issues of importance
for the whole community, often related to medium to
longer term challenges
● To ensure public safety
● To protect the environment
● To create new jobs and ensure existing are
sustainable

34. Applications of IoT
IoT Levels

35. IoT at City Level
At the City level, the integration of technology
and quicker data analysis will lead to a more
coordinated and effective civil response to
security and safety ( law enforcement and blue
light services) ;
higher demand for outsourcing security
capabilities

36. IoT at the Building Level
At the Building level, security technology will
be integrated into systems and deliver a
return on investment to the end-user through
leveraging the technology in multiple
applications (HR and time and attendance,
customer behavior in retail application etc

37. IoT at the Smart vehicle Level
● There will be increase in the development of
“Smart” vehicles that have low (and
possibly zero) emissions.

40. IoT Application Areas
Potential applications of the IoT are
numerous and diverse, permeating into
practically all levels of every-day life of
individuals, enterprises, and society as a whole

41. Specific Applications

42. Better energy efficiency
Things like smart thermostats (https://store.nest.com/)
could adjust our energy usage based on load factors and
environment conditions.
● For instance, if your thermostat knows that the
temperature is going to drop in the next 3 hours (by
connecting to weather.com), it might bring down the
AC output.
● If your water sprinkler knows that it is going to rain
today, it might avoid sprinkling.

43. Better disaster management:
1. A group of intelligent robots autonomously
working to clear a disaster site.
2. Imagine a range of autonomous entities -
land robots, drones, sensors and satellites
all collaboratively working to save people as
soon as an Earthquake or a hurricane is
about to land.

44. Better understanding of the nature:
Animals could be tagged in the wild and we
would have an even better understanding of
how various natural ecosystems work.

45. Aerospace and Aviation Industry
● IoT can help to improve safety and security of
products and services by reliably identifying
counterfeit products and elements
● The aviation industry is vulnerable to the problem of
suspected unapproved parts ( SUP)
● Using RFID attached to these parts, this problem can
be solved

46. Automotive Industry
● Advanced cars , trains, buses as well as bicycles
are becoming equipped with advanced
sensors, actuators with increased processing
powers
● Applications include smart things to monitor
and reports various parameters from
pressure in tyre to proximity of other
vehicles

47. Telecommunication industry
IoT will create the possibility of merging of diverse
telecommunication technologies and create new services. An
illustrative example is the use of GSM, NFC (Near Field
Communication), low power Bluetooth, WLAN, multi-hop networks,
GPS and sensor networks together with SIM-card technology.
In these types of applications the reader (i.e. tag) is a part of the
mobile phone, and different applications share the SIM-card. NFC
enables communications among objects in a simple and secure way
just by having them close to each other. The mobile phone can
therefore be used as a NFC-reader and transmit the read data to a
central server

48. Medical and Health care
● IoT will have many applications in the healthcare sector, with the
possibility of using the cell phone with RFID-sensor capabilities
as a platform for monitoring of medical parameters and drug
delivery.
● The advantage gained is in prevention and easy monitoring of
diseases, ad hoc diagnosis and providing prompt medical
attention in cases of accidents.
● Implantable and addressable wireless devices can be used to
store health records that can save a patient’s life in emergency
situations, especially for people with diabetes, cancer, coronary

49. Independent Living
IoT applications and services will have an important impact on
independent living by providing support for an aging population by
detecting the activities of daily living using wearable and ambient
sensors,
● monitoring social interactions using wearable and ambient sensors,
● monitoring chronic disease using wearable vital signs sensors, and in body
sensors.
● With emergence of pattern detection and machine learning algorithms, the
things in a patient’s environment would be able to watch out and care for the
patient.
● Things can learn regular routines and raise alerts or send out notifications in
anomaly situations.

50. Pharmaceutical industry
● For pharmaceutical products, security and safety is of utmost
importance. In IoT paradigm, attaching smart labels to drugs,
tracking them through the supply chain and monitoring their
status with sensors has many potential benefits.
● For example, items requiring specific storage conditions, e.g.
maintenance of a cool chain, can be continuously monitored and
discarded if conditions were violated during transport.
● Drug tracking and e-pedigrees allow for the detection of
counterfeit products and keep the supply chain free of
fraudsters.

51. Retail, logistics and Supply chain
management
● IoT can provide several advantages in retail and supply chain
management (SCM) operations.
● For example, with RFID-equipped items and smart shelves that
track the present items in real time, a retailer can optimize
many applications .
● For example, he can make automatic checking of goods receipt,
real time monitoring of stocks, tracking out-of-stocks or the
detection of shoplifting. IoT can provide a large savings potential
in a retail store, since it has been found that 3.9% of sales loss
happens worldwide when shelves go empty and customers return
without getting the desired products

52. Manufacturing industry
● By linking items with information technology, either through embedded
smart devices or through the use of unique identifiers and data
carriers that can interact with an intelligent supporting network
infrastructure and information systems, production processes can be
optimized and the entire lifecycle of objects, from production to
disposal can be monitored.
● By tagging items and containers, greater transparency can be gained
about the status of the shop floor, the location and disposition of
lots, and the status of production machines. The fine grained
information serves as input data for refined production schedules and
improved logistics. Self-organizing and intelligent manufacturing
solutions can be designed around identifiable items.

53. Process industry
● In many plants of the oil and gas industry, scalable
architectures are being used that consider possibilities
for plug-and-play new ID methods combined with
sensing/actuating integrated with the IoT
infrastructure and integrate the wireless monitoring
of petroleum personnel in critical onshore and
offshore operations, container tracking, tracking of
drill string components pipes, monitoring and
managing of fixed equipment etc.

54. Process industry
● A review of high-impact accidents in the chemical and
petrochemical sectors in the UK has observed some
common features in these disasters, such as lack of
understanding as well as poor management of
storage, process, and chemical segregation.
● IoT can help in reducing the number of accidents in
the oil and gas industry by equipping the containers of
hazardous chemicals with intelligent wireless sensor
nodes.

55. Environment monitoring
● Utilization of wireless identifiable devices and
other IoT technologies in green applications
and environmental conservation are one of the
most promising market segments in the future.
● There will be an increased usage of wireless
identifiable devices in environmentally
friendly programs worldwide

56. Transportation Industry
● IoT offers solutions for fare collection and
toll systems, screening of passengers and
bags boarding commercial carriers and the
goods moved by the international cargo system
that support the security policies of the
governments and the transportation industry,
to meet the increasing demand for security in
the globe.

57. Transportation Industry
● Monitoring traffic jams through cell phones of the users and
deployment of intelligent transport systems (ITS) will make the
transportation of goods and people more efficient.
● Transportation companies would become more efficient in packing
containers since the containers can self- scan and weigh
themselves.
● Use of IoT technologies for managing passenger luggage in airports
and airline operations will enable automated tracking and sorting,
increased per-bag read rates, and increased security.

58. Agricultural and Breeding
● The regulations for traceability of agricultural animals and their
movements require the use of technologies like IoT, making possible the
real time detection of animals, for example during outbreaks of
contagious disease.
● Moreover, in many cases, countries give subsidies depending on the
number of animals in a herd and other requirements, to farms with
cattle, sheep, and goats.
● As the determination of the number is difficult, there is always the
possibility of frauds.
● Good identification systems can help minimize this fraud.
● Therefore, with the application of identification systems, animal
diseases can be controlled, surveyed, and prevented.

59. Agricultural and Breeding
● Official identification of animals in national, intra community, and international
commerce is already in place, while at the same time, identification of livestock
that are vaccinated or tested under official disease control or eradication
is also possible.
● Blood and tissue specimens can be accurately identified, and the health status
of herds, regions, and countries can be certified by using IoT.
● With the Internet of Things, single farmers may be able to deliver the crops
directly to the consumers not only in a small region like in direct marketing or
shops but in a wider area.
● This will change the whole supply chain which is mainly in the hand of large
companies, now, but can change to a more direct, shorter chain between
producers and consumers

60. Media , entertainment industry
● Deployment of IoT technologies will enable ad hoc news
gathering based on locations of the users.
● The news gathering could happen by querying IoT, to see which
multi-media-capable devices are present at a certain location,
and sending them a (financial) offer to collect multimedia
footage about a certain event.
● Near field communication tags can be attached to posters
for providing more information by connecting the reader to an
URI address that contains detailed information related to the
poster.

61. Insurance Industry
● Often the introduction of IoT technology is perceived as a
grave invasion on privacy of individuals.
● However, sometimes people are willing to trade privacy for
a better service or a monetary benefit.
● One example is car insurance. If insurance clients are willing
to accept electronic recorders in their car, which are able
to record acceleration, speed, and other parameters, and
communicate this information to their insurer, they are
likely to get a cheaper rate or premium

62. Insurance Industry
● The insurer can save money by being involved in a very early
stage of an impending accident and can trigger the most
economic actions.
● A part of the savings can be given to the customers through
discounts on insurance premiums.
● The same applies for other assets such as buildings,
machinery, etc., that are equipped with IoT technology.
● In these cases the technology mostly helps in preventing large-
scale maintenance operations or allows for much cheaper
predictive maintenance before an incident occurs.

63. Recycling
● IoT and wireless technologies can be used to advance the
efficiency and effectiveness of numerous important city and
national environmental programs, including the monitoring
of vehicle emissions to help supervise air quality, the
collection of recyclable materials, the reuse of packaging
resources and electronic parts, and the disposal of
electronic waste (RFID used to identify electronic
subcomponents of PCs, mobile phones, and other
consumer electronics products to increase the reuse of
these parts and reduce e-waste).

64. Recycling
● RFID continues to provide greater visibility
into the supply chain by helping companies
more efficiently track and manage
inventories, thereby reducing unnecessary
transportation requirements and fuel
usage.
