Introduction

Internet of Things

Billion of devices get connected, shared data and get optimized what they based on analyzing that data, having connectivity, security and manageability

Gateways

Can enable existing devices to become smart and connected

They are the solution for the IoT industry, these are devices that connect all the things we are making smart to the cloud and the internet so we have a solid solution.

Pre-integrated, pre-validated hardware & software building blocks. They enable secure data flow between devices and the cloud.

Can filter data from different types of sensors and protocols.

In the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud-connected smart devices will give manufacturers an alternative means of collecting, compiling, and analyzing precise and objective data on device performance, thereby reducing the time and expense of trial and accelerating time-to-market.

Connectivity is critical to generating intelligence.

IoT Use Cases

from Intel Gateways Solutions for IoT

Adaptive Analytics

Refine operational enterprise processes based on insights gained from analyzing and interpreting vast amounts of data

Transportation Smart control systems can tell trains to slow down based on a variety of constantly changing external data inputs, such as weather, topography, location, distance from destination, track conditions, or car-to-car communication indicating another train is ahead.

Energy Devices can adjust the speed and blade pitch of wind turbines to improve efficiency and reduce wear.

Buildings Adaptive analytics can improve the accuracy and performance of systems used to monitor and manage energy consumption, climate control, lighting, mechanical equipment and security.

Predictive Maintenance

Optimize equipment uptime and performance while reducing the time and labor associated with inspections and preventive maintenance.

Transportation Predictive maintenance will reduce the need to remove transit vehicles, rail cars, or planes from service for routine inspections and scheduled maintenance. Instead, operators will be alerted when a piece of equipment requires attention.

Energy Operators can monitor generators, transformers, wind turbines, and other critical equipment from central locations and take action to mitigate stress, overheating, and other malfunctions.

Buildings Sensors in a building’s electrical and mechanical systems, such as lighting, climate control, plumbing, or security, will alert engineers when a part or component needs attention, enabling maintenance crews and contractors to focus on imminent issues rather than around-the-clock inspection and monitoring.

Energy

Complete power management tasks with finer precision and faster response times, resulting in energy conservation, usage prioritization, and better outage response.

Healthcare

Collect, compile, and analyze precise and objective data on cloud-connected smart devices to improve treatment and services in hospitals, doctors' offices, and homes.

Smart Buildings

Transform and protect the home and office by designing in building automation features such as intelligence, modularity, and security.

Energy savings Integrated with the smart energy grid, smart buildings and homes represent a huge opportunity to reduce power consumption by businesses and families. Power providers can take advantage of efficiencies based on the schedules and usage patterns of building inhabitants. Smart power meters and appliances will communicate with intelligent power sources to help balance supply and demand. Green buildings, LEED certification, and net-zero energy consumption will become increasingly commonplace.

Remote monitoring and control Building operators and residential consumers will be able to monitor utility consumption and control heating, lighting, safety, and security systems from offsite. For commercial buildings, that means being able to monitor multiple properties from a centralized property management location, communicate to onsite maintenance crews, and take control of systems in a fire or other emergency.

Predictive maintenance Sensors in a building’s mechanical components will alert engineers when a part needs attention, reducing the time and labor costs associated with routine inspections and preventive maintenance.

Assisted living As our societies’ demographics change, with populations aging and life spans extending, the modern building will need to support independent living at older ages. With sensors, controllers, and intelligence, smart buildings can provide telemedical solutions or other technical assistance for aging people, enabling true ambient assisted living.

Transportation

Leverage wireless networks and cloud-based control systems to optimize performance and make immediate critical decisions to improve safety and reliability.

Real-time equipment tracking Cloud-based central control systems will enable operators to pinpoint any piece of equipment.

Inter-equipment communication Much as PTC helps avert rail accidents, planes can report turbulence to other planes, alerting pilots to take appropriate precautions; urban mass transit vehicles can report traffic delays or accidents.

Predictive maintenance Rather than simply alerting drivers, vehicles will transmit defect data directly to engineers. Predictive maintenance will identify components in need of repair, eliminating the need to take equipment out of service for routine inspections and preventive maintenance.

Remote upgrades Operators can upgrade software over the air in hundreds of connected devices spread across hundreds of vehicles simultaneously.

Fuel management System operators will have better visibility into fuel consumption and efficiency, potentially saving millions in fuel costs.

Improved passenger comfort and convenience Carriers can offer more onboard amenities. Transit riders can know how soon the next bus is coming. Air travelers can be alerted to delays via their mobile devices before they leave for the airport.

Safety Connected devices in vehicles must be able to receive software upgrades and patches in ways that do not impede their safe operation.
