WHY INTERNE OF THINGS?

Organizations in a variety of industries are using

IoT to operate more efficiently, better
understand customers to deliver enhanced
customer service, improve decision-making and
increase the value of the business.

IOT ECOYSTEM
• An IoT ecosystem consists of web-enabled smart devices that use
embedded processors, sensors and communication hardware to collect,
send and act on data they acquire from their environments.
• IoT devices share the sensor data they collect by connecting to an IoT
gateway or other edge device where data is either sent to the cloud to be
analyzed or analyzed locally.

TOP 10 STRATEGIC IOT TECHNOLOGIES AND

TRENDS - GARTNER
1) Trend No. 1: Artificial Intelligence (AI): “Data is the fuel that powers the IoT
and the organization’s ability to derive meaning from it will define their long
term success.”
2) Trend No. 2: Social, Legal and Ethical IoT: These include ownership of data
and the deductions made from it, algorithmic bias, privacy and
compliance with regulations such as the General Data Protection
Regulation. “Successful deployment of an IoT solution demands that it’s not
just technically effective but also socially acceptable.”
3) Trend No. 3: Infonomics and Data Broking: The theory of infonomics takes
monetization of data further by seeing it as a strategic business asset to be
recorded in the company accounts. By 2023, the buying and selling of IoT
data will become an essential part of many IoT systems.

TRENDS – GARTNER (CONT’D)

4) Trend No. 4: The Shift from Intelligent Edge to Intelligent Mesh: The shift from
centralized and cloud to edge architectures is well under way in the IoT
space. These mesh architectures will enable more flexible, intelligent and
responsive IoT systems — although often at the cost of additional
complexities.
5) Trend No. 5: IoT Governance: As the IoT continues to expand, the need for
a governance framework that ensures appropriate behaviour in the
creation, storage, use and deletion of information related to IoT projects
will become increasingly important.
6) Trend No. 6: Sensor Innovation: The sensor market will evolve continuously
through 2023. New sensors will enable a wider range of situations and
events to be detected.

7) Trend No. 7: Trusted Hardware and Operating System: ‘.. by 2023, we
expect to see the deployment of hardware and software combinations
that together create more trustworthy and secure IoT systems…’.
8) Trend 8: Novel IoT User Experiences: User experience driven by 4 factors:
new sensors, new algorithms, new experience architectures and context,
and socially aware experiences.
9) Trend No. 9: Silicon Chip Innovation: By 2023, it’s expected that new
special-purpose chips will reduce the power consumption required to run
IoT devices.
10) Trend No. 10: New Wireless Networking Technologies for IoT: IoT networking
involves balancing a set of competing requirements. In particular they
should explore 5G, the forthcoming generation of low earth orbit satellites,
and backscatter networks.

1. Helmet Concussion Sensor
2. Medical Alert Watch
3. Smart Fitness Clothing and Smart Running Shoes
4. One-Button Product Purchases: “Order at the click of a button!” Amazon
has taken that phrase literally and produced physical branded buttons
called Amazon Dash that link to products in your home. Say you run out of
laundry powder. You can press your Dash button for Tide and Amazon will
reorder your Tide Powder product for you. No need to sign onto the Web,
fumble with payment methods, or retype credit card numbers.

 SMART FARMING: USE OF IOT TO IMPROVE 16

AGRICULTURE
• In IoT-based smart farming, a system is built for monitoring the crop field with
the help of sensors (light, humidity, temperature, soil moisture, etc.) and
automating the irrigation system. The farmers can monitor the field
conditions from anywhere. This is highly efficient compared to the
traditional/conventional approach.
• In terms of environmental issues, IoT-based smart farming provides great
benefits including: better and efficient water usage, and optimization of
inputs and treatments.
• Therefore, smart farming based on IoT technologies enables growers and
farmers to reduce waste and enhance productivity.
• Some of the IoT applications in this area are:
i. Precision farming
ii. Agricultural drones
iii. Livestock monitoring
iv. Smart greenhouses
 17

INDUSTRIAL IOT (IIOT)

• Industrial IoT (IIoT) focusses on the use of cyber-physical systems to monitor
the physical factory processes and make data-based automated decisions.
• While the physical systems are made the intelligent using IoT, the real-time
communication, and cooperation both with each other and with humans is
established via the wireless web
• IIoT brings in the concept of ‘a connected factory leads to a smart factory’.
 18

IIOT IN MANUFACTURING
1. Digital/connected factory: IoT enabled machinery can transmit
operational information to the partners like original equipment
manufacturers and to field engineers.
2. Facility management: The use of IoT sensors in manufacturing equipment
enables condition-based maintenance alerts.
3. Production flow monitoring: IoT in manufacturing can enable the
monitoring of production lines starting from the refining process down to
the packaging of final products.
4. Inventory management: IoT applications permit the monitoring of events
across a supply chain.
 IIOT IN MANUFACTURING (CONT’D) 19

5. Plant Safety and Security: IoT combined big data analysis can improve the
overall workers’ safety and security in the plant. .
6. Quality control: IoT sensors collect aggregate product data and other
third-party syndicated data from various stages of a product cycle.
7. Packaging Optimization: By using IoT sensors in products and/or
packaging, manufacturers can gain insights into the usage patterns and
handling of product from multiple customers.
8. Logistics and Supply Chain Optimization: The Industrial IoT (IIoT) can
provide access to real-time supply chain information by tracking materials,
equipment, and products as they move through the supply chain.
 20

IOT CHALLENGES
Security, privacy and data sharing issues
• Because IoT devices are closely connected, all a hacker has to do is exploit
one vulnerability to manipulate all the data, rendering it unusable. And
manufacturers that don't update their devices regularly -- or at all -- leave
them vulnerable to cybercriminals.
• However, hackers aren't the only threat to the internet of things; privacy is
another major concern for IoT users. For instance, companies that make and
distribute consumer IoT devices could use those devices to obtain and sell
users' personal data.
• Challenges with IIoT:
i. Security of data – same as above
ii. Reliability and stability – of IIoT sensors
iii. Connectivity of all the systems in IIoT setup – no maintenance envisioned?
iv. Blending legacy systems – IIoT is new in the market

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?

1. Consumer education
2. Product reviews and comparisons
3. Vulnerability disclosure and vulnerability markets
4. Self-certification and voluntary codes of practice
5. Trust marks and labels like Internet Society’s Online Trust Alliance (OTA) IoT Trust
Framework
6. Government initiatives
7. Mandated security requirements
8. Mandated certification
9. Liability reform
10. Etc.
11. No intervention!?
