All major technology companies and Venture Capitalists are massively investing in IoT,
and the Market analysts predict a $300bn market by 2020. The conclusion is that IoT
must be providing more business value than just sensing the lights are on! A factual
presentation about what IoT changes and where it has already competitively

Moore’s Law
Twice the capacity every 18 months, or,
Same capacity costs half within 18 months?
Metcalf’s Law
The systemic value of compatibly communicating
Devices grows as a square of their number
Facts
The United Nations predicts that 3.2 billion people
will be online by the end of 2015. That’s half of the
global Population of 7.2 billion.
An estimated 12 billion internet-connected devices
will be used worldwide by the end of the year – an
average of 1.7 devices for every person on the planet.
IoT has become a Reality in 2016
All the key elements are already being deployed

4. IoT = The Internet of Everything
Forget the scale and concentrate on the components

5. Graph Data and IoT look the same
Both are based on ‘relationships’ and ‘responses’
Pictorially representations look the same!
So what’s the fuss?
And where is the Business Value!

IoT; A strongly driven Market Disruption
But three completely separate markets
People
Industrial
IT
Consumer and Smart Services
Adoption of Technology
Industrial Automation and
Operational Technology
Lack of Understanding
& Drivers

IoT is about Data
Previously un-foreseen Outcomes, and Actionable Event Responses
Nothing New There Then!

8. Event

Sensor Data Outcome
IoT = Complex Event Processing
IoT Events drive outcomes from un-foreseen relationships in data
Tire Pressure
Sensor
Speedometer
Driver’s Seat
Sensor
A Car has 150 to 200 sensors
Plus direct Internet connection
‘What happens next??

9. IoT
Gateway
Digital Asset Engine
Data Flow Switch
Industrial Automation Services & Tasks Reporting Analytics
‘Real Time’ Reflexes
& Event Responses
‘Near Time’ Read &
Respond Smart Services
‘Transaction Time’
Historic Trend Analysis
IoT; Two or Three Worlds are colliding

10. All Types
Of Devices
Event Hub
Or
Data Store
Event
Engine
Location
In a Building, within a Site
or on a Google Map
Device Description
Together with associated
Data from other sources
Customer
Who may connect and
Interact in and out
Network
Defines transport and
Protocol support & speed
Permission
The combination of
Circumstances for security
Data for Complex
Event processing
Graph Data Stores or Event Hubs
Five Critical Graphs to describe any Device, plus supplementary Graphs
AirCon
Unit
Internet of
Things

11. “Smart Service” = Event Driven
Automated Action using new
Insightful Outcome to determine
New High Value Service
“Digital” =Content Driven
Fixed Process Delivered via
Internet and Browser
Passive Web Processes v IoT Smart Services
The Digital Transformation means more than the current online Web model

12. From Market Leader to Ecosystem Leader
John Deere strategic journey to Myjohndeere.com platform
2011: The era of mobility and telematics
introduces ‘JDLink telematics’
2012: Smartphones, tablets and smart apps
dominate John Deere Mobile Farm Manager.
2013: Dealerships and their Services brought
into shared platform John Deere Farm Sight
2014: Agri Businesses of all types now able to
join and create an sector wide ecosystem for
farming in the myjohndeere platform

13. IoT is about ‘unforseen’ Data Relationships
Graph Data is hugely important, but currently not well understood
