The Internet of Things (IoT) is poised for explosive growth in the coming decade, and IoT device growth is projected to exceed 75 billion worldwide by 2025 — a fivefold leap in just 10 years. With each connected sensor or device, the deluge of data increases, offering enterprises new insight into boosting operational efficiencies, enhancing […]
After a decade dominated by the growing reliance on centralized third-party public cloud services, the deployment of edge computing systems and Internet of Things (IoT) devices represents a partial pendulum swing back to decentralized data management. Large cloud service providers, however, are eager to extend services from the cloud to the edge. As a result, […]
In Japan, a country with considerable technological influence on the global stage, the concept of a “smart city” has a strong social dimension, explained Atsushi Deguchi, a professor and vice dean at the University of Tokyo at Industrial IoT World last year. While in the U.S., smart city projects tend to focus on making technology […]
For the past three years, Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland, Ohio, has worked with the U.S. Department of Energy and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to integrate and coordinate energy storage, load management and advanced photovoltaics (PV) forecasting with solar PV to create dispatchable renewable distributed generation by designing and implementing optimal […]
Thinking about making your city “smarter”? Then connected street lighting is the answer. But, how do you determine which communications method is best? Both cellular and RF mesh offer the set of capabilities necessary for good street lighting operations—including range, throughput, and reliability—but they have different pros and cons which deserve careful consideration. Here, we […]
Today, products are often most useful and profitable when offered as services. In the automotive and trucking realm, evidence of that fact is everywhere. Truck makers like Daimler and Volvo Trucks have growing remote diagnostics and telematics businesses, while traditional tire companies like Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Michelin have expanded fleet management and telematics offerings. […]
For cities like Philadelphia, smart city initiatives open doors. These smart city projects upgrade aging infrastructure, address inequity and promote innovation. But before they can deliver on benefits, experts say, cities often need to do some difficult foundational work. Emily Yates, smart city director in Philadelphia, said that, to be successful, smart city initiatives require […]
Cell service companies want you to believe that 5G’s fat, fast pipes are already lighting up broadband communications coast to coast. That might be an overstatement. The spec sheet for the proposed 5G standard is likely to generate considerable excitement among telecom pros and users alike, so you can’t blame service providers for resorting to […]
While a traditional factory can operate like a coordinated machine, a smart factory is more like an organism. “All the different parts and equipment connect to centralized intelligence that sends and receives data in real-time,” said Farid Bichareh, co-chair of the smart factory working group at Industrial Internet Consortium. While computing has long been a […]
