 Consumer

⚫ Consumer-based devices were one of the first segments to adopt

things being connected on the internet. Consumer IoT came into
form as a connected coffee pot at a university in the 1990s. It
flourished with the adoption of Bluetooth for consumer use in the
early 2000s.
⚫ Now millions of homes that have Nest thermostats, Hue lightbulbs,
Alexa assistants, and Roku set-top boxes. People too are connected
with Fitbits and other wearable technology.
⚫ The consumer market is usually first to adopt these new
technologies. We can also think of these as gadgets. All are neatly
packaged and wrapped devices that are essentially plug and play.

 Consumer

⚫ One of the constraints in the consumer market is the bifurcation of

standards. We see, for example, several WPAN protocols have a
footing like Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Z-wave (all being non-
interoperable).
⚫ The following are some of the consumer IoT use cases:
➢ Smart home gadgetry: Smart irrigation, smart garage doors,

smart locks, smart lights, smart thermostats, and smart

security.
➢ Wearables: Health and movement trackers, smart

clothing/wearables.
➢ Pets: Pet location systems, smart dog doors.

 IIoT : Industrial Internet of Things

• Industrial IoT (IIoT) is one of the fastest and largest segments

in the overall IoT space by the number of connected things and
the value those services bring to manufacturing and factory
automation.
• The industrial segment is one of the fastest-growing
markets. One nuance of this industry is the reliance of
brownfield technology, meaning hardware and software
interfaces that are not mainstream.
• It is often the case that 30-year-old production machines
rely on RS485 serial interfaces rather than modern
wireless mesh fabrics.

 IIoT : Industrial Internet of Things

Following are the industrial and manufacturing IoT use cases and
their impact:
➢ Preventative maintenance on new and pre-existing factory
machinery
➢ Throughput increase through real-time demand
➢ Energy savings
➢ Safety systems such as thermal sensing, pressure sensing,
and gas leaks
➢ Factory floor expert systems

 Retail, financial, and marketing

• This drives constraints on finding new ways to either save

costs, or drive revenue.
• Allowing customers to be more efficient allows retailers and
service industries to move customers quickly, and to do so with
less staffing resources.
• Some of the retail IoT use cases are as follows:
• Targeted advertising, such as locating known or potential
customers by proximity and providing sales information.
• Beaconing, such as proximity sensing customers, traffic
patterns, and inter-arrival times as marketing analytics.

7 3/23/2020
 Retail, financial, and marketing

• Asset tracking, such as inventory control, loss control, and

supply chain optimizations.
• Cold storage monitoring, such as analyze cold storage of
perishable inventory. Apply predictive analytics to food
supply.
• Insurance tracking of assets.
• Insurance risk measurement of drivers.
• Digital signage within retail, hospitality, or citywide.
• Beaconing systems within entertainment venues,
conferences, concerts, amusement parks, and museums.

 Healthcare

• Any and all systems that improve the quality of life and reduce
health costs is a top concern in nearly every developed
country.
• The IoT is poised to allow for remote and flexible monitoring of
patients wherever they may be.
• Advanced analytics and machine learning tools will observe
patients in order to diagnose illness and prescribe treatments.
• Such systems will also be the watchdogs in the event of
needed life-critical care.

10 3/23/2020
 Healthcare

• Some of the healthcare IoT use cases are as follows:

➢ In-home patient care.
➢ Learning models of predictive and preventative healthcare.
➢ Dementia and elderly care and tracking.
➢ Hospital equipment and supply asset tracking.
➢ Pharmaceutical tracking and security.
➢ Remote field medicine.
➢ Drug research.
➢ Patient fall indicators.

11 3/23/2020
 Transportation and logistics

• The use cases involve tracking the asset on devices being

delivered, transported, or shipped, whether that's on a truck,
train, plane, or boat.
• This is also the area of connected vehicles that communicate
to offer assistance to the driver, or preventative maintenance
on behalf of the driver.
• Right now, an average vehicle purchased new off a lot will have
about 100 sensors. That number will double as vehicle-to-
vehicle communication, vehicle-to-road communication, and
automated driving become must-have features for safety or
comfort.

12 3/23/2020
 Transportation and logistics

• This mobile-type category has the requirement of geolocation

awareness. Much of this comes from GPS navigation. From an
IoT perspective, the data analyzed would include assets and
time, but also spatial coordinates.
• Following are some of the transportation and logistics IoT use
cases:
➢ Fleet tracking and location awareness
➢ Railcar identification and tracking
➢ Asset and package tracking within fleets
➢ Preventative maintenance of vehicles on the road

13 3/23/2020
 Agricultural and environmental

• Farming and environmental IoT includes elements of livestock

health, land and soil analysis, micro-climate predictions, efficient
water usage, and even disaster predictions in the case of geological
and weather-related disasters.
• Significant efficiencies in agriculture can be achieved through IoT.
Using smart lighting to adjust the spectrum frequency based on
poultry age can increase growth rates and decrease mortality rates
based on stress on chicken farms.
• Other uses include detecting livestock health based on sensor
movement and positioning. A cattle farm could find animals with the
propensity of sickness before a bacterial or viral infection were to
spread. Edge analysis systems could find, locate, and isolate heads of
cattle in real time, using data analytics or machine learning
approaches.

 Energy

• The energy segment includes the monitoring of energy production

at source to and through the usage energy at the client.
• A significant amount of research and development has focused on
consumer and commercial energy monitors such as smart electric
meters that communicate over low-power and long-range protocols
to reveal real-time energy usage.
• Many energy production facilities are in remote or hostile
environments such as desert regions for solar arrays, steep hillsides
for wind farms, and hazardous facilities for nuclear reactors.
• Additionally, data may need real-time or near real-time response for
critical response to energy production control systems (much like
manufacturing systems). This can impact how an IoT system is
deployed in this category.
