#iot future

Nowadays, companies, television outlets, banks, and much other public or private industries are booming because of the advent of smartphone applications. It provides enterprises with a great ability to meet their future consumers. In other terms, it offers a timely and straightforward way to highlight the programs or goods from around the globe. They will use a smartphone device to provide all the details they need as a one-stop location.

Throughout fact, the smartphone device increases consumer experience, as companies may reach their beloved clients on a real-time basis with enticing deals. Undoubtedly, having a smartphone device offers you a lot of opportunities. Wireless apps are also as important as a web application. It is also estimated that by 2020 cumulative downloadable smartphone applications around the globe would hit a colossal 300 billion. According to these numbers, then it can accurately be assumed that smartphone devices have been an integral part of our lives. However, companies are also gradually recruiting smartphone device creators to create their web app.

IoT supports processes in the Cloud

Using IoT in the iOS app would involve using the cloud for consumers. This can ensure that management-led methods are fast, and they can do it from everywhere.

Mobility incorporation of client

Mobile IoT devices should ensure companies have the total power of their program. They can conveniently monitor this machine using a mobile app with a few clicks.

Also without the internet can monitor. Using IoT technologies can allow consumers the power to control their devices even without access to the internet.

Collecting evidence

For smartphone IoT applications, companies can consider it easy to use devices to gather useful data. This should allow them to make choices quickly and knowledgeable.

Automation

A company will get control and flexibility with IoT. Let’s read an example to grasp this argument better. If you’re using a hotel app that has IoT features of a guest doesn’t need a key to enter the space. With only a few quick clicks, the guest will use the device to open their room door. (We can suggest to you the best Home Automation Company based in Surat and also they provide service in India)

IoT is the future of smartphone devices, but it poses problems such as data protection and lengthy development times. Yet it can solve some issues with specific tricks and functions. If you install features such as CMS, data encryption, and so on, it will safeguard your IoT device.

Bots

Bots are incredibly simple to mount. Check through your preferred messaging app to install a Bot and press it to start chatting—any uploading or installation of the app from a digital store. Bots are simple to carry out. When you can add a messaging app bot, you can also post your favorite messaging app bot. You may also connect bots to your social networking account. A perfect example is Slack, a bot that is instantly connected to all users when activated by one team leader so that everybody can access it.

Bots are like a robotic advisor to a machine. Bots can be found in the Facebook chat applications or on Skype. We turn up immediately and have a simple way to order tickets for lunch or read.

For various citizens, Bots have a standard definition. Yet in smartphone devices, bots are like personal assistants only use code instead of voice to talk. The first bot was ‘ELIZA,’ and in 1996, it was created by Joseph Weizenbaum. The modern-day bots follow the same concepts as Eliza, and by clicking, you can interact with them.

By 2020 there will be almost 30 billion devices connected to the internet. The actual number has variations; Gartner suggests a sum of 26 billion, IDC a sum of 32 billion and MIT 28 billion ,this is 5 times the amount of devices connected today.

That is 30,000,000,000 devices riding a system that lacks technical standards, this is the #InternetOfThings #IOT you may here so much about. The key defining point in history will be that the internet will no longer be a system where humans add, upload and share their information but a place where that data will be done mostly via devices. Therefore the need for analytics software to decipher patterns, trends and true chaos will also increase. We shall identify new signals within prior “noise” based data sets.

There is a very exciting time ahead and here I also share some questions and examples of the current stare across the globe for the Internet of things.

Some positive examples of IOT is as follows:

1.       GlowCaps on medical bottles to remind the patient to take their medicine.

2.       Activity levels (already seen on smartphones) for sports and other activities

3.       Wearable alarm clothing for aged people

4.       Home appliance control remotely

5.       Lost key tracking devices

6.       Pollution warning devices

7.       Stress gauges in construction

8.       Maintenance sensors for improved planning and cost savings

9.       Clear access to safety equipment

10.   Process sensors for process control in manufacturing

An interesting trend in this future world is how much the “developed” world is slipping behind the rising economies. Currently APAC is investing heavily into the IOT with 40% of devices, followed by Europe at 29% and the home of Silicon Valley, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple is a lagging 19%. Meanwhile Latin America and Africa holds considerable explosive potential from their equal 4% positions. In a Microsoft survey across APAC 79% of CIO’s highlighted IOT as the second most disruptive technology to organizations in the region. The government in Taiwan for example improved commute times by installing automatic booths connected through IOT.

·         Question: How will your business use IOT to gain competitive edge?

The current range of systems these devices operate over include Bluetooth, radio frequency identification (RFID), WLAN, Near Field Communication (NFC), Thread and Zigbee with new developing potential technologies on their way from current business and university labs across the globe. A key challenge here will be the compatibility of their communications and maintenance of unlicensed frequency bands from region to region without interference.

The over reliance on these connection methods requires build in safety mechanisms to deal with unusual events such as power failure, solar flare, reception interference and other connection drops of lost signal.

Some typical examples of current Bluetooth connected devices include:

1.       Smartphones

2.       Cars

3.       Stereo systems

4.       Heart rate monitors

5.       Treadmills

6.       Proximity sensors

7.       Food thermometers

8.       Pool cleaner

9.       Medical monitors

10.   Pet Activity trackers

·         Question: Which sensor language standards does your business employ already?

The data security is an obvious concern to many advocates and this is an area my business JAMSO raises most risk concerns to companies. To define the correct encryption models is important to reduce risk of private information and industrial espionage. We see almost weekly new cases of hacking, data loss, shut down of services from expert criminals and national state security services in the field.

Examples of hacked and lost data:

1.       Target hacking case for data breach in 2013 (cost Target $10million)

2.       Israel hacking of Iran

3.       Anthem 80,000,000 records

4.       Home Depot 56,000,000 records

5.       JP Morgan Chase 76,000,000 records

6.       Ebay 145,000,000 records

7.       Premera 11,000,000 records

8.       IRS (American Tax Service) 100,000

9.       British Airways “tens of thousands”

10.   US Office of Personnel Management 14,000,000

·         Question: What does your business do currently and plan in future to retain data security?

 Now you have the answers to my 3 questions what action plan will you create to improve your company position in the future?

 The three main areas I have covered so far include devices, connection methods and security. These are the foundation corner stones of a robust Internet of Things project and direction for your business. There are many examples easy to be found showing large scale success in each area and some great work been done to ensure the integrity of the system.

Analytics will be supported through artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate some of the mundane analysis and reporting skills required. The speed of technological change raises concerns from many but I remain optimistic of a positive human experience will be gained from embracing the IOT changes.

The elements need to be considered now by each business model to seek methods of competitive advantage, create the correct planning methods and budgeting for inclusion and investment. Collaboration will be required across new supplier bases with specialist knowledge and skills to help a business through the current complex path and journey.

The Internet of Things does not have to be the domain of the largest corporations but can be used by small companies to raise quality and rapid delivery of innovative products from demand driven and demand predicted technology. Additional opportunities include small business collaborating to form new networks of global services (think Uber style). New scales in niched products will generate great true global capabilities across the world and open the doors to other rising economies such as Africa and South America.
