“In a digital world, threats often do not come
from established competitors but rather from
   innovative technologies that enable new
     businesses, start-ups that undermine
     established business models, or new
developments outside the way the company
        defined its competitive space”

                                     McKinsey

IoT – a definition
■ The term “Internet of Things” was coined by british entrepreneur Kevin Ashton in 1999…
  (It) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software,
  sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange
  data. The Internet of Things allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across
  existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration
  between the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in improved
  efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its
  embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet
  infrastructure. ..

To Hype or not to Hype the IoT?

■ IoT and self-driving cars lead Gartner’s 2015 Hype
 Cycle report on Emerging Tech.
■ Conversely, Big Data fell off the report completely
 from its lead in 2012

Gartner IoT Hype Cycle - Overview

■ This year (2015), this Hype Cycle is focused on the key building blocks to implement the IoT, as more
  enterprises realize the extent of the challenges. The challenges are formidable, as no one just "buys" IoT.
  Rather, an IoT deployment is a daunting array of components and software with few standards, requiring
  extensive set-up services. It will take time for the expected information flows to materialize and be integrated
  into business processes and the organization's culture.
■ The IoT is underpinned by a broad array of horizontal technologies, the majority of which are more than five
  years out from mainstream adoption. Some of the key near-term technology profiles for the IoT include:
       ■ Big Data
       ■ Embedded Software and Systems Security
       ■ High-Performance Message Infrastructure
       ■ IoT Architecture
       ■ IoT Business Solutions
       ■ IoT Platform
       ■ IT/OT Alignment
       ■ Low-Cost Development Boards
       ■ Managed Machine-to-Machine Communication Services

                                                                                                               11

It’s the use cases
■ ‘Plan, Build, Run’ in Domains including Energy, Manufacturing, Industry, Healthcare, Transportation, Cities,
  etc. Asset tracking and tracing and optimization for IIoT.
■ Here are the obvious:

                        Energy: predicting when wind turbine gear boxes might fail and scheduling
                         maintenance; Predicting the next TWO DAYS of wind turbine output so utilities know
                         when to bring on back up power; predicting electrical grid transformer failures;
                         connected sniffers for natural gas leaks; smart electrical (think managing peak demand
                         at the neighborhood level); and smart pipeline grids.
                        Healthcare: device interoperability, smart pill bottles, remote monitoring.
                           90k physician shortage by 2025 (Derrick Jackson, Boston Globe, Sept 2015)
                           One possible metric: more treatment/hour/Healthcare worker
                           Monitoring will be important in under- and undeveloped countries

                        Public Sector: real-time traffic & parking information to reduce congestion, pollution,
                         noise; with drought in California think smart water monitoring
                        Transportation: railroad operators optimize traffic plans, speeds of rolling stock to save
                         capital, improve safety, cut costs; commercial aircraft jet engines can relay performance
                         and provide predictive maintenance data; sensors tracking temperature, geography,
                         door opening, humidity in perishable shipments
                        Manufacturing: Big Data analysis can boost efficiency, reduce machine downtime,
                         improve yields; predictive maintenance over 10-25 year life cycles
                                                                                                                   17
It’s the use cases (cont)

       ■ Stress tracker by Boston neuroscientist - wrist bracelet that measures and transmits stress
         levels hoping to identify which colleges trigger the most anxiety, highways that induce the
         most stress, and companies with the mellowest workforce, etc. Then aggregate the data to
         quantify mental health – Boston Globe, Sept 2015 (Company: Neumitra)
       ■ Watch Rx – Alerts family members if dosage is missed, includes a speakerphone for
         caregivers to have conversations (under $100)
       ■ Dell Computer (IoT tracking) – Cows to Cloud, and Bee Hives
              Using RFID tags to track information on cows in India leading to better health & milk yield
              In Cork, Dell is using a wireless gateway to track sensors on bee hives for various data tracking and ultimately
               hope to attach a sensor to the queen bee

       ■ McLaren Racing and Pfizer teaming up for smart heart monitoring
       ■ EMC built a dark fiber ring in Ireland with Vodaphone M2M network that can re-route
         ambulances in real time for fastest trip to ER
       ■ Bosch trying to track and trace custom power tools within a meter in airplane mfg facilities
         using wifi now, maybe RF later.
       ■ By analyzing data in realtime, GE saves time and costs, as technicians know when to visit,
         say, a wind farm, to maintain a wind turbine versus making unnecessary periodic trips as
         part of scheduled maintenance.

                                                                                                                            18
It’s the use cases (cont)

■ MIT’s Senseable City Lab – http://senseable.mit.edu cities have central nervous systems
      App to explore the spatio-temporal patterns of mobile phone activity in cities across the world
      HubCab- data on 170m taxi trips (pick up/drop off/length) in Manhattan were analyzed. Found that over
       90% of rides could be shared if riders accepted an inconvenience of FIVE MINUTES added to their trip.
       Also found that 20k rides per year were less than one block.
         Taxi Companies stopped the research
         Who could monetize this data?

      Trash Track – 500 sensors attached to e-waste in Seattle to find out where it went including how (train,
       truck) to map downstream carbon footprint as well. Also found that it left the country as well (trail went
       cold)…
      Matter flushed down toilets, credit card spending patterns during easter week in Spain, and many others

■ Global City Teams Challenge/ US Ignite (NIST, US Ignite)
      Almost all initiatives are self-funded
      IP ownership case by case

It’s the use cases (cont)

■ The future is unpredictable: known knowns, known
  unknowns, unknown unknowns, and a fourth, unknown
  knowns i.e. things we should have anticipated but didn’t

                           Or:

   ‘what we know, what we do not know, what we cannot
   know, what we do not like to know’ - German
   sociologists Daase and Kessler (2007)

Four laws of ecology
(from The Closing Circle, 1971)
Biologist and Ecologist Dr. Barry Commoner (1917-2012)

        Everything is Connected to Everything Else
           One ecosphere – what affects one affects all.

            Humans/other species are connected and
            dependent
        Everything must go somewhere
           There is no ‘waste’ and no ‘away’

        Nature knows best
           Technology improves upon nature, but such

            changes may be detrimental
        There is no such thing as a free lunch
