INTERNET OF THINGS
L18 Internet of Things
“Some have suggested that the internet of things
“changes everything,” but that is a dangerous
oversimplification.”
- Michael E. Porter & James E. Heppelmann
The next revolution has started
Everyday object get sensors and software and
connect to the internet
Revolutions
1947
Programmable all-purpose
electronic commuters start to have
impact on big businesses and
government
Automation starts, jobs get lost
IBM mainframes
1965
Minicomputers allow mid-sized
companies and academia to have
time shared computing power
Automation continues
1981
Personal Computer allowed small
companies and individuals to own
and program comptuers
Generative platform
Opened up a huge revolution -
created a new industry
1995
The Internet opened up a new way
for people to communicate and
exchange data
Created new industries,
transformed businesses
2007
The smartphone revolution takes off
with new possibilities
Computing power 50.000 times the
PDP-8 is now in people’s pocket
Constant access to the Internet
Revolutions
All of these waves cause jobs
to be eliminated and
productivity to be dramatically
increased
1947 Mainframe computers

Revolutions
Now we are approaching the end of the Smartphone Revolution
The Third Wave of IT
IT is now integral part of the product themselves
Embedded sensors, processors, software, and connectivity in
products, coupled with a product cloud in which product data
is stored and analyzed and some applications are run, are
driving dramatic improvements in product functionality and
performance.

The Impact of the Smartphone
Smartphone revolution starts 2007
Contains multiple of sensors
Barometer to sense air pressure and relative elevation
Accelerometer to measure distance by walking or running
Gyroscope to measure orientation
Information spillover
Processors and sensors
Processors and sensors are now widely available and
cheap
Examples Raspberry pi computer, Arduino
L18 Internet of Things
By 2020 a cumulative 100 billion processors
will have been shipped, each capable of
processing information and communicating
(Source: Ericsson)
Things get connected
Physical components comprise the product’s mechanical and
electrical parts
Smart components comprise the sensors, microprocessors,
data storage, controls, software, and, typically, an embedded
operating system and enhanced user interface
Connectivity components comprise the ports, antennae, and
protocols enabling wired or wireless connections with the
product
Smart Connected Things
Connectivity takes three forms, which can be present together:
One-to-one: An individual product connects to the user, the
manufacturer, or another product through a port or other
interface
One-to-many: A central system is continuously or intermittently
connected to many products simultaneously
Many-to-many: Multiple products connect to many other types
of products and often also to external data sources

The New Technology Stack
Smart, connected
products require
companies to build
and support an
entirely new
technology
infrastructure

What Can Smart, Connected Products Do?
What Can Smart, Connected Products Do?
Monitoring
Smart, connected products enable the comprehensive
monitoring of a product’s condition, operation, and
external environment through sensors and external
data sources
Source: HBR
Example: Glucose Monitor
that connects to your smartphone
What Can Smart, Connected Products Do?
Control
Smart, connected products can be controlled through
remote commands or algorithms that are built into the
device or reside in the product cloud
Source: HBR
Example: Lockitron door lock
What Can Smart, Connected Products Do?
Optimization
The rich flow of monitoring data from smart, connected
products, coupled with the capacity to control product
operation, allows companies to optimize product
performance in numerous ways, many of which have
not been previously possible

What Can Smart, Connected Products Do?
Autonomy
Monitoring, control, and optimization capabilities
combine to allow smart, connected products to
achieve a previously unattainable level of autonomy.

Smart Everything
Smart Everything - what does this mean
Traditionally we use computer to use software - we control
the software and tell it what to do and when
Now software is becoming aware of our actiona through
sensors, speech and touch
Software is controlling us in real time
Smart Everything - what does this mean
This smartness can be for us as an individual helping us,
making our life easier and more productive
This smartness can also help group of people - a whole
city to become more efficient
