Technologies and Applications for a New Age of Intelligence
About This Book
Internet of Things: Technologies and Applications for a New Age of Intelligence outlines the background and overall vision for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), as well as associated emerging technologies. Key technologies are described including device communication and interactions, connectivity of devices to cloud-based infrastructures, distributed and edge computing, data collection, and methods to derive information and knowledge from connected devices and systems using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Also included are system architectures and ways to integrate these with enterprise architectures, and considerations on potential business impacts and regulatory requirements.
New to this edition: • Updated material on current market situation and outlook.• A description of the latest developments of standards, alliances, and consortia. More specifically the creation of the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and its architecture and reference documents, the creation of the Reference Architectural Model for Industrie 4.0 (RAMI 4.0), the exponential growth of the number of working groups in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the transformation of the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) to OMA SpecWorks and the introduction of OMA LightweightM2M device management and service enablement protocol, the initial steps in the specification of the architecture of Web of Things (WoT) by World Wide Consortium (W3C), the GS1 architecture and standards, the transformation of ETSI-M2M to oneM2M, and a few key facts about the Open Connectivity Forum (OCF), IEEE, IEC/ISO, AIOTI, and NIST CPS.• The emergence of new technologies such as distributed ledgers, distributed cloud and edge computing, and the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence for IoT.• A chapter on security, outlining the basic principles for secure IoT installations.• New use case description material on Logistics, Autonomous Vehicles, and Systems of CPS

Why the Internet of Things?
Abstract
Keywords
- • Human. This represents devices attached to or inside the human body, e.g., wearables and ingestibles. Applications include human health and fitness, monitoring and treatment of illness, increasing wellness, and proactive lifestyle management. This setting also includes increased human productivity using, e.g., augmented reality to assist in tasks, as well as the use of sensors and cameras for skills training. Human health and safety when working in hazardous environments is yet another application example of this setting.
- • Home. This setting is about buildings where people live. Home-based IoT applications include automation of domestic chores and energy management, as well as security and safety. These are applications with a direct benefit to consumers, but also with benefits to other stakeholders, such as utility companies.
- • Retail. This setting includes the spaces where consumers engage in commerce and is not only related to products but also to services. The spaces included are stores and showrooms with a focus on products, as well as spaces where services are purchased, like banks, restaurants, and various arenas. It includes applications like self and automated checkouts, in-store offers, and inventory optimization.
- • Offices. Offices are defined as spaces where knowledge workers work. Similar to the home setting, energy and work environment management, as well as security, are typical applications. Another area is the increase of human productivity and performance, including for mobile workers.
- • Factories. Factories are here defined as standardized production environments. Factories include discrete manufacturing and process industry plants. It is broadly defined also to include other sites where repetitive work routines apply, for instance, farms in agriculture or hospitals. Examples of applications in the factories setting include condition-based maintenance of equipment and automated quality monitoring. Other applications include the autonomous operation of parts of a process, e.g., robot manufacturing of components or irrigation in agriculture, and also optimization of a supply chain of materials.
- • Worksites. This setting covers custom production environments where each site is unique and no two projects are the same in terms of streamlining operations. An example domain is natural resource extraction, such as mining, oil, and gas. Another is a construction site. Common characteristics include a constantly changing and many times unpredictable environment. Usually, operations involve costly and complex machinery, such as drill rigs and giant haulers. Again, applications target Predictive Maintenance of expensive machines to ensure high utilization, operations optimization, and worker safety. Increasing in importance is also sustainability and minimizing environmental impacts.
- • Vehicles. The Vehicles setting includes vehicles on the road, rail, and sea and in the air and focuses on the value of using IoT in, to, and between the vehicles themselves. Example applications include autonomous vehicles, remote diagnostics for planned servicing, and also the monitoring of the behavior and usage of a vehicle in order to aid in the vehicle development and design process.
- • Cities. A city is an urban environment that is a combination of public spaces and different infrastructures, e.g., for energy, water, and transportation. Large densely populated areas require smooth operations of transportation of people and goods, efficient use of resources, and ensuring a healthy and safe environment. The “smart city” is hence opportunity-rich in a variety of IoT applications that require sensing, actuation, and intelligent operations.
- • Outside. This final setting is about IoT usage outside urban environments and the other settings. A prime example is logistics of produced goods in both supply chain and online retail where track and trace is a key IoT application. The second major application in this setting is autonomous passenger vehicles outside the urban setting, whether on rail, on road, on sea or in the air.
