THE NEED TO CONNECT ASSETS/OBJECTS/THINGS

Knowing our Assets Typical Questions
What is the

condition of
my goods.

Who is a

better and
safer bus
driver?

How to

reduce my
electricity
bill?

Where can
I park?

When is my
next train?

Why my

items are
not selling?

What IF we can connect ALL these assets and get the answers to ALL these questions?

WHAT ARE SMART, CONNECTED PRODUCTS

(THINGS)?

Physical Components - comprise the products mechanical

and electrical parts.

Smart Components - amplify the capabilities and value of the

physical components

Connectivity Components - amplifies the capabilities and

value of the smart components and enables some of them to
exist outside the physical product itself.

IOT TRANSFORM OUR THINKING

How value is created and captured?

How the amount of new (and sensitive)

data is utilized and managed?

How relationships with traditional business

partners such as channels are redefined?

What roles companies should play as

industry boundaries are expanded?

The Last 100 meter

Connected World

Still Disconnected

The last 100 meters represent > 90% potential number of connections
Today, the devices used in the last 100 meters are typically not connected. The wide-area network is
to a larger extent connected e.g. through smartphones, home routers (e.g. ADSL routers) and GSM /

CHALLENGES DATA OWNERSHIP

Organizations
Personal and Households

All personal items, such as mobile phones,

wrist watches, spectacles, laptops, soft
drinks, food items and household items,
such as televisions, cameras, microwaves,
washing machines, etc

Private

Private business
organization has the right
to take the decision
whether to publish the
sensors attached to those
items to the cloud or not.

Public

Public infrastructure such as

bridges, roads, parks, etc. All
the sensors deployed by the
government will be
published in the cloud
depending on government
policies.

Commercial
Sensor Data
Providers

Business entities who deploy

and manage sensors by
themselves by keeping
ownership. They earn by
publishing the sensors and
sensor data they own
through sensor publishers.

COMMERCIAL IOT SENSOR PROVIDER

Gathering temperature, light,
pressure, humidity and
pollution.

The street town council center

would want the temperature
and humidity data for
planning during rough
weather

The weather department

would want the temperature
and pressure data

The city would pay for access to

the light sensors in order to
decide when to turn on and off
the street lights

A university may want access

to the pollution information for
research purposes for a limited
period
