OtoSense: the next level in sound-based IoT
It sounds (pardon the pun) as if the IoT may really be taking off as an important diagnostic repair tool.
I wrote a while ago about the Auguscope, which represents a great way to begin an incremental approach to the IoT because it’s a hand-held device to monitor equipment’s sounds and diagnose possible problems based on abnormalities.
Now NPR […]
Siemens’s MindSphere: from automation to digitalization
Perhaps the most important component of a successful IoT transformation is building it on a robust platform, because that alone can let your company go beyond random IoT experiments to achieve an integrated IoT strategy that can add new components systematically and create synergistic benefits by combining the various aspects of the program.
A good starting […]
IFTTT DO apps: neat extension of my fav #IoT crowdsourcing tool!
Have I told you lately how much I love IFTTT? Of course! As I’ve said, I think they are a phenomenal example of my IoT “Essential Truth” question: who else can use this data?
Now, they’ve come up with 3 new apps, the “DO button,” “DO camera,” and “DO Note,” that make this great tool even more versatile!
With a […]
Management Challenge: Lifeguards in the IoT Data Lake
In their Harvard Business Review November cover story, How Smart, Connected Products Are Transforming Competition, PTC CEO Jim Heppelmann and Professor Michael Porter make a critical strategic point about the Internet of Things that’s obscured by just focusing on IoT technology: “…What makes smart, connected products fundamentally different is not the internet, but the changing […]
Disney MagicBands: as important symbolically for IoT as substantively!
(I’ve been meaning to write about this particular IoT device for a long time — my apologies for the delay)
I have no objective evidence for this, but I suspect that many C-level executives first learned about e-commerce when they placed personal orders during the Christmas season of 1995. Thus, Amazon deserves a disproportionate share of […]
Thermostats: yet another example why open standards win with #IoT
Despite my passion for all things Apple and the incredible functionality that comes from Tim Cook’s passion for integrating all parts of the ecosystem seamlessly (and, as I’ve noted in prior disclaimers, my part-time work at the Apple Store ..), I don’t think there’s any doubt when it comes to the Internet of Things that open […]
Live-blogging @ Wearables + Things
Just arrived @ Wearables + Things conference (I’ll speak on “Smart Aging” tomorrow). Hmm: there’s one noteworthy player absent from the conference: those guys from Cupertino. Wonder why they’re not there (perhaps in stealth mode??)
Conference already underway, about to have 2 new product reveals!
iStrategyLabs, “Dorothy,” connects your shoe to your phone. You’re stuck in a […]
GE & Accenture provide detailed picture of current IoT strategy & deployment
I’ll admit it: until I began writing the “Managing the Internet of Things Revolution” guide to Internet of Things strategy for SAP, I was pre-occupied with the IoT’s gee-wiz potential for radical transformation: self-driving cars, medical care in which patients would be full partners with their doctors, products that customers would be able to customize […]
Capgemini Report: dramatic proof most big companies lag on IoT strategy!
In writing the SAP “Managing the Internet of Things Revolution” i-guide to IoT strategy for C-level executives, my research led me to believe that most big companies were still clueless about the IoT and how it would revolutionize every aspect of their operations. Now a great report by Capgemini, “The Internet of Things: Are Organizations Ready for a Multi-Trillion […]
Essential Truth: Gathering “Ground Truth” through IoT
This is the second in my occasional series of “Essential Truths” — key principles and questions about the Internet of Things.
On Tuesday, when I speak to our next Boston/New England IoT Meetup on the issue of “human communications and the IoT” one of the concepts I’ll be focusing on is what Chris Rezendes of INEX […]
