Study Notes
The Internet of Things (IoT) and its Value Chain
- An IoT device or smart object must have sensors to collect data, a communication unit to connect to the internet, a power source, and a processing unit to analyze data and control other systems.
- IoT devices generate large amounts of data that need to be cleaned, stored, processed, and analyzed.
- People interpret the analyzed IoT data to enhance businesses and collaborate effectively.
- IoT data can optimize industrial processes and make them more efficient.
- The IoT value chain consists of hardware (sensors and communication hardware), connectivity (networks that deliver data), platform (cloud or on-premises backend systems), application (specific IoT applications), and customer relationship management.
- Major players in the hardware component include Bosch, Siemens, and Samsung.
- Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) like Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile provide connectivity for IoT solutions.
- IoT platforms like Microsoft Azure and IBM Watson store data and provide features for managing devices and analyzing data.
- System integrators develop and manage specific IoT applications for various industries.
- The application component of IoT brings the highest value, up to 40%.
- IoT use cases are categorized into verticals based on industry segments and have unique regulatory entities, procedures, and standardization organizations.
- IoT provides benefits such as efficiency, transparency, automation and accuracy, and safety and responsiveness in various industry segments.
