IoT is fueling innovation in nearly every part of our lives. By connecting the “things” that were never connected before, we are creating new data insights that translate into meaningful change. The revolution is still young. In fact, IDC expects the installed base of IoT units to grow to 28.1 billion in 2020, up from 9.1 billion in 2013.
As with any shift in the status quo, there are barriers that slow down new technology adoption. In the case of IoT solutions, the potential for thousands of new connected things brings a tidal wave of new data and many questions. As such, businesses want to know the benefits before they jump in. They also require a firm grasp on expected costs and ROI. And, perhaps most importantly, they want assurances that integration, interoperability and management will be seamless.
IoT Help is Here
Intel® and its ecosystem help organizations of all types and sizes to use IoT solutions to solve their industry-specific challenges. With Intel’s full suite of end-to-end technologies, developers, SIs, OEMs and other solutions providers are helping customers by developing IoT solutions that connect things, collect data and derive insights. And, that equals business value for customers.
Getting started is easier than you think. For instance, the Intel® Joule™ 570x developer kit includes all you need to get rolling quickly with IoT projects using the Intel® Joule™ Compute Module. This powerful system on module (SoM) was designed to help inventors and IoT developers contribute to a new generation of robots, drones and IoT devices that are equipped with Intel® HD Graphics, 3D modeling, object recognition and interactive capabilities.
IoT innovators want to get to market faster and with limited complexity. The Intel® IoT Platform is and end-to-end reference model and family of products from Intel. It works with third party solutions to provide a foundation for seamlessly and securely connecting devices, delivering trusted data to the cloud and delivering value through analytics.
A Platform for All Industries
Partnering with Intel positions you to help your customers realize the benefits of IoT solutions regardless of their industry. These are some examples of industry-specific IoT applications that add value and present you with opportunity:
- Healthcare: IoT is transforming healthcare with clinical wearables, first-responder tablets and sophisticated surgical suite equipment to deliver personalized care, faster.
- Retail: IoT presents a wealth of opportunities for retailers to increase supply chain efficiencies, develop new services and reshape the customer experience to create stronger customer loyalty.
- Buildings: IoT combats rising energy costs, promotes sustainability and facilitates code compliance by connecting, managing and securing devices that collect data from core systems.
- SOHO/ROBO: IoT makes homes and offices smarter. Context-aware solutions recognize people, learn the occupants’ preferences and send alerts should something out of the ordinary occur.
Thus, the possibilities presented by IoT are virtually endless. Technology providers are merely limited to the extent of their vast creativity.
