Key takeaways from this article include the following: IoT-enabled robots make use of local and distributed intelligence. Such robots are found in a range of environments, from the ocean to warehouses. The diversity of such robots is mirrored in their approach to networking. Adoption of smart robotics has accelerated this year, driving sophisticated automation in […]
That’s partly because it will take some time for the infrastructure to be built out to enable 5G deployments, but also because the manufacturing sector needs to adjust to the standard. In this video discussion with IoT World Today, Ali Syed Moshin discusses the recent Omdia report “5G in Manufacturing -i5G Report -2020.” The report […]
This session describes how the convergence of cutting-edge technologies are driving advances in the IoT landscape while also providing a reality check concerning the hype surrounding AI, edge and 5G. Ultimately, however, the potential of those technologies depends on the savviness of the organization deploying them. Sam Lucero, senior principal analyst, IoT platforms at Omdia, […]
Key Takeaways from this article include the following: IoT systems are distributed, which brings new complexity and security risks. Distributed systems need tiered strategies for data processing and storage. Edge computing architecture also requires new approaches for data at rest and in motion. The challenges of building and properly managing an Internet of Things (IoT) […]
Data analytics was once limited to a few general-purpose relational databases. But, as large-scale web and Internet of Things applications proliferated, that situation has changed. Today, the database options for IoT analytics are almost as diverse as the many IoT data types the new systems are meant to handle. As a result, “built for purpose” […]
Thanks in part to strong demand in China, the IoT market is poised to continue expanding. The effects of COVID-19 on the IoT market are, however, complex with some sectors negatively impacted. The situation overall is positive, according to Sam Lucero, senior principal analyst, IoT platforms at Omdia. “Omdia believes the IoT market will grow […]
The manufacturing sector is facing a unique set of headwinds and tailwinds. According to Omdia research, only half of industrial companies have begun a digital initiative. Among those that have, roughly 40% of organizations fail to achieve an expected payback for their digital investments. In this video, Omdia principal analyst Alex West discusses this situation […]
As organizations look to reopen offices, shops and other buildings in the next chapter of COVID-19, interest in disinfection technologies has surged. But so is the awareness that technologies such as germicidal ultraviolet light, also known as ultraviolet-C (UV-C), can be unsafe if misused. The short-wavelength radiation in the UV-C spectrum can penetrate organic molecules, […]
