Internet of Things

So What *IS* the Internet of Things A collection of unique objects gathered in an Internet-like structure Term coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 Proctor and Gamble, later MIT Started primarily as tracking – was basis for RFID Outgrowth in tagging: bar codes, QR, digital watermarks, etc

Ashton’s take on the IoT “If we had computers that knew everything there was to know about things—using data they gathered without any help from us—we would be able to track and count everything, and greatly reduce waste, loss and cost. We would know when things needed replacing, repairing or recalling, and whether they were fresh or past their best. The Internet of Things has the potential to change the world, just as the Internet did. Maybe even more so.“ (2009)

Everything about Everything IoT quickly grew from simply tracking some objects to the concept of tracking ‘everything of interest’ Depending on the definition, you can then monitor ‘parameters of interest’ associated with each object – not just location (and sometimes location is not of interest) There are more than a dozen DIFFERENT definitions of IoT – and growing!

So, What is the INDUSTRIAL IoT? The IoT is now being thought of as two types of network, coined the Human IoT and the Industrial IoT The “Human IoT” is characterized as having human interaction and low failure impact. The “Industrial IoT” is characterized as operating without direct human interaction and oversight, sometimes with potential catastrophic failure impact.

Human IoT (HIoT) Human-controlled or at least monitored Can include a person using a device (phone, tablet, computer, etc. Includes most consumer and wellness devices, although there is crossover. For example: If your connected home thermostat fails, in most cases you will detect this and it becomes a nuisance issue A thermostat in an unoccupied dwelling, or in an industrial process, or in an area that must be kept at a certain temperature range for safety can cause a catastrophic failure

Industrial IoT (IIoT) Primarily devices that work with one another without human interaction or intervention (M2M) Robustness, controlled failure modes, security become primary issues “Consumer” items can quickly cross over, as a phone app can control your home or even your car. Or monitor life-critical health issues.

Research versus Market There are many diverse research efforts into the future of IoT, taking the concept in different directions Many of these increase scope of object count and parameter type and number greatly into the realm of Big Data (TB and beyond) BUT – What is the MARKET driving?

Main Markets Building Automation Industrial Automation Lighting Commercial Transportation / Fleet Mgmt Enterprise Asset Management Smart Cars Test and Measurement Energy Grid (Smart Grid)

Communications Optical – bar code, QR, OCR, bio Passive transponder – RFID PAN – ZigBee, BTLE, LoPAN, other 15.x WiFi (802.11x) ISM Cell (4G, 5G, 3GPP, CDMA, etc) Wired xxbaseT, CAN, others Others, “all of the above”

What to do with all this data?? “to the Cloud!!” Big Data principles Privacy, security will be huge areas for development Regulatory issues that must be met today and in the future Sampling and Monte Carlo Trends, patterns

Growth Areas Sensors Product tracking from supply chain to end-of-life Medical Auto Protocols and bridging between protocols What to do with data overload – communications, analysis, storage

Autonomous Control Humans can be out of the loop Peer-to-peer Speed Environment

Reliability Failure can be catastrophic Known failure modes or “fail-safe” Toyota gas pedal

Standards? Yeah, we got ‘em…
