As technology advances, businesses are amassing more and more data. With the advent of cloud computing (to Edge Computing), and with more servers and greater bandwidth than ever before, we now have the ability to both generate and store enormous volumes of it.
Analytics services are moving to the edge but ensuring the physical security of edge devices can be a real headache. Device Security providers often take very different approaches to securing the edge, and finding the right strategy for enterprises and organizations will vary by IoT business case, not to mention risk management.
Technology is making it ever easier to build an IoT network. Integrated automation solutions will potentially link systems and applications and, indeed, almost everything. Whether this represents progress or, on a more practical note, whether people affected by this change will accept it is an open question – The Future of IoT.
More than fifty years ago, Dionne Warwick had a hit with Trains and Boats and Planes. Today, all of these vehicles are operated in ways nobody would have imagined back then – but what we can expect in the near future is even more astonishing with autonomous transport.
E-bikes are all the rage, but increasingly they are being joined by growing fleets of e-scooters. For urban planners, new forms of on-demand micromobility are increasingly being viewed as a quick way to reduce congestion in the inner cities.
Everything urban is now getting connected – from healthcare to education, government services, buildings, physical security systems, and much more. With Smart-Cities communities embracing these emerging tools will be leading the future.
Out of the ashes of disaster, drones are rising to the challenge of setting up communications to help the rescue services fighting to save lives in the most trying of environments.
Data from drones is increasingly proving crucial for businesses in areas that include utilities, mining, oil and gas, and agriculture.
The latest generation of industrial robots is revolutionizing traditional production processes. Collaborative robots, known as “cobots”, will work alongside humans and enhance the quality of finished products.
Experts now expect that IoT is likely to provide the next generation of track and trace: faster, more accurate and predictive, and more secure.
GlobalData, a market research company based out of London, has forecast that the marketplace for IoT related services will go beyond $96 billion (£74.2bn) in sales by 2023 in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, growing at a CAGR of 22.4% between 2018 and 2023.
FogHorn announced the availability of new Lightning Edge AI platform features, including tools and enhancements to empower OT professionals.
Omron Automation Americas launched its E3AS series reflective-type photoelectric sensors that boast accurate detection for diverse targets, exceptional sensing distance, environmental robustness, and compact size.
In late November, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported senior management at Deutsche Telekom were exploring the possibility of a merger deal with Orange.
In many companies, lot of work time goes into monitoring and managing the consumption and reordering of supplies like printer paper to run operations.
