If implementing IoT within your organization it makes sense to target improving operational efficiency; it’s easier for the bean counters to sign off on than some esoteric new IoT business opportunity. This, as I’ve discussed before, is the thin edge of the IoT wedge for getting a pilot started. Next - what OPEX should you go after? Find a metric that everyone in the company or business unit or department, understands and lives by and then apply IoT there first. If people have a stake in it they will be more willing to change, readjust processes and help make the project successful. Rather than making it a top-down edict, power the IoT project from the bottom-up.

Visualizing IoT big data is as much an art as it is a science. The palette is underlying algorithms and the exterior is color and texture mapping. Images aren’t static – they are interacted with in 3D or animated as a movie. The result is a science-based art form designed to convey information or present a story where the human mind can discover hidden value invisible to the algorithm. As a subset of descriptive analytics, it is another tool for the data scientist, subject matter expert or executive to extract value form the numbers coming from IoT sensors and data services.

Is it in the billons or trillions? I can’t remember how many sensors there are supposed to be in 10 or is it 20 years. We get so many different predictions of the number of things in IoT it’s mind-numbing. Mind-numbing in that it’s hard to comprehend the size of the numbers being tossed around and mind-numbing because in trying to outdo each other, pundits count things differently.

There’s a lot to developing wearables that doesn’t meet the eye. To build a wearable and the business that supports it you must recreate its creator. As with any IoT product, the skill sets needed, namely software development and data science, are more often than not, not part of the organization’s gene pool or culture. To become an IoT company each company must go through a deep tech metamorphosis to get there.
