Reshaping Business Through IoT: Key Technology Factors to ConsiderEurotech
The IoT is the manifestation that the raw material of the information age is datum. Data are the new source of innovation and the lever to achieve business sustainability. By extracting data from assets and products, companies can become more efficient through a strategic rethinking of their value chains and business processes. In so doing, companies will add the required readiness to shift from products to services, and eventually enter in the outcome economy. To truly embrace the digital transformation, organizations need to collect actionable data from their assets, processes, and products and then connect the OT (Operational Technology) world where data are generated to IT (Information Technology) world where data are consumed. Beside predictive maintenance and asset usage maximization/optimization the benefits are huge: the transformation of any business into a smart business, increasing competitiveness also in mature markets; the creation of new innovative products and services; and the enablement of service prosumerization.
To make this happen there are some key technology factors to consider during the implementation of an IoT architecture.

WIRELESS SENSORS INTEGRATION INTO INTERNET OF THINGS AND THE SECURITY PRIMITIVEScsandit
The common vision of smart systems today, is by and large associated with one single concept,
the internet of things (IoT), where the whole physical infrastructure is linked with intelligent
monitoring and communication technologies through the use of wireless sensors. In such an
intelligent vibrant system, sensors are connected to send useful information and control
instructions via distributed sensor networks. Wireless sensors have an easy deployment and
better flexibility of devices contrary to wired setup. With the rapid technological development of
sensors, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) will become the key technology for IoT and an
invaluable resource for realizing the vision of Internet of things (IoT) paradigm. It is also
important to consider whether the sensors of a WSN should be completely integrated into IoT or
not. New security challenges arise when heterogeneous sensors are integrated into the IoT. Security needs to be considered at a global perspective, not just at a local scale. This paper gives an overview of sensor integration into IoT, some major security challenges and also a
number of security primitives that can be taken to protect their data over the internet.
Internet of Things (IoT) integrates billions of the heterogeneous IoT things with the Internet in which the embedded systems such as sensors and actuators linked together to improve quality of life, and becomes the future of technologies in any field of human daily life. These IoT devices cooperate with each other and generate useful information to provide better services and applications to the governments and the society. Also, there is a need to store these data on Cloud for monitoring. This paper, surveys IoT applications, new challenges and issues arise in different fields and provides IoT architecture, focuses on explanation of IoT protocols and their operations and functionalities, presents different microcontroller types used by researchers. With the huge amount of data generated from IoT devices, the integrating Cloud and IoT may helpful, Therefore, a survey on open issues faced when these two concepts integrating together is discussed. The objective of this paper is to provide a survey for everything related to IoT and direct it to all beginners in this filed or academic researchers.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

EMC Solutions for IoT and I4.0 (v3a EN, April 2016)
The purpose of this presentation is to introduce our (EMC's) understanding of the
current industrial revolution based around the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0.
We will explore the terminology, requirements, data/facts but also the differences and
similarities between the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is not the same as Industry 4.0 (I4.0),
but both are key topics at the heart of the fourth industrial revolution.
Side note; Siemens calls the coming together of IoT and I4.0 “The Web of Systems”, or
WoS.
After the "WarmUp" we will take two application examples and look in more detail at
the IoT or I4.0 solution requirements, assessing the added values that we (EMC) derive
from the products and solutions we offer.
We will go into the following agenda points in detail for you. Let's take a look.
2. 2
EMC Solutions for IoT and I4.0 (v3a EN, April 2016)
There are four agenda points to our first topics section; we will introduce the terminology,
entomology of terms, statistics (facts and figures) and the areas of use (Industrial Verticals
& Consumer, including two examples) of IoT and I4.0, to provide a basic understanding and
clarify the differences between these two industrial revolutions.
• Internet of Things (IoT) - Terminology
• Industry 4.0 (I4.0) - Terminology
• IoT / I4.0 - Areas of Use & IoT / I4.0 - Vertical Business Areas
• IoT - History, Figures, Facts, Perspectives
The second section is based around two application examples from the IoT and I4.0 sector
• I4.0 - Condition Monitoring - Terminology
• I4.0 - Operational Technology - The Pyramid
In our third section, we compare some striking IoT/I4.0 requirements to our EMC "values"
and solutions and various architectures to show how we can produce on- and off-premise
solutions.
Our data analytics diagram shows the individual infrastructure layer and service container
used within a big-data analytics farm.
• IoT / I4.0 = EMC Values
• EMC Solution Offering (+DELL IoT Solution)
• Data Analytics Infrastructure - Schema
The titles of our final two agenda points speak for themselves.
We introduce to you a "team" of firms that is unique in the IT industry, a team that can
pro-actively support you in meeting your requirements and with the migration to a cloud-
native infrastructure.
• Unique Team of Firms
• Why EMC?

Internet of Things
https://de.onpage.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things (original German source)
The "Internet of Things" (or IoT) is the concept of things, such as objects and people, being interconnected. The idea is that real-life objects will be able to independently share and
process information - without humans having anything to do with the data input stage. The Internet of Things is designed to automate information procurement for objects and simplify
our lives.
General Information
It is a vision that includes a network of intelligent objects, known as smart objects. These objects share and process information and conditions, thereby linking the virtual world with
our actual world. Areas in which we could use such applications are the environment, medicine, architecture, energy, transport, logistics, and digital media. Examples of such inter-
communicating objects include wearables, smartphones, smart homes and cities, and autonomous vehicles. In this context we also talk about augmented reality, ubiquitous and
pervasive computing, Semantic Web and Industry 4.0.
History
Kevin Ashton was the first to use the term "Internet of Things" in a lecture he gave at Procter & Gamble in 1999. He introduced the RFID chip into the company's value chain, and stressed the multi-
faceted interdependence of the computers relying on data input and the people who can only concentrate on data entry for a limited span of time and attention. RFID and other technologies in the world of
sensors and actuators enable computers to observe, identify, and interpret things and conditions in the real world.
Together with a number of researchers and experts, Ashton founded the AutoID Lab at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), which a) spurred on the development of RFID chips and b) popularized
the notion of the Internet of Things through research work. Over the course of time, the concept of IoT has been applied to a number of everyday objects; industry also took hold of it and developed
various scenarios, including the digitization and networking of entire value chains – from production to sales to customer service.
The ultimate aim of IoT remains to make the most effective use of existing resources, to save costs and use technology to enrich the world we live in. This is true both for the private and industrial sectors.
Types and Technical Requirements
As such, we can make a rough distinction between how IoT is used in our private lives and in industry, with many applications still in their infancy.
Internet of Things: The main areas of application are everyday objects, electronic devices, as well as the networking of these items with the use of Internet-like structures. Technically speaking, it is not all
about RFID chips and QR codes, but also Near Field Communication, wireless networks, cloud computing, the new Internet Protocol IPv6 as well as the latest control and sensor solutions in the form of
micro-controllers, transponders, sensors, and actuators. It is the symbiosis of sensors and other objects that is creating new possibilities in sharing and processing data.
Industrial Internet of Things: the main areas of application are industrial production and the extraction of resources, healthcare and medicine, as well as logistics, transportation, and distribution. We most
often talk about machine-to-machine communication (M2M) and Industry 4.0 to characterize IoT industrial or commercial applications. The objectives are to optimize operational processes, save costs, and
minimize risks to humans. Here, too, Internet-like structures are used for communication between objects, but these are not necessarily public systems open to all. Intranets and embedded and cyber-
physical systems often come into play, to link a production operation's hardware and software to its electronic and mechanical components, for example.
Examples
One example of a private application of the Internet of Things concept is the "smart watch", also known as a wearable, which can record the user's activities and analyze the data. This means the wearer's
fitness can be tracked and their health monitored, and enables other services and interfaces to similar devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and desktop PCs.
Smart grids or smart power grids are an example of the industrial Internet of Things These are intelligent distribution networks, which carry out the load management of energy production and
consumption. The energy from different power stations including solar, wind, bio-gas, and water, is distributed depending on end user consumption to level out supply peaks and make operation more
efficient.
Relevance in Practice
The Internet of Things has a number of different implications and consequences for our society and daily lives. This means that outputting data to certain devices is only advisable if the privacy of the user
can be guaranteed. Some experts criticize that the technical capabilities of inter-communicating smart objects make regulation necessary. Smartphones can send geo-based data to the manufacturer,
essentially allowing them to track the wearer. These services are integrated into many end devices and can be stopped only by the user casting a critical eye over the relevant settings.
The security of the systems also comes into question. The more interfaces a system has, the more chance there is of abuse. Certain system architectures not only open various doors for hackers, but also
mean product providers can fully track their users. As such, data protection is also a topic that is preoccupying a number of experts. Particularly in industrial applications in energy, production, medicine,
and logistics, these systems are subject to increased security requirements to avoid abuse.
As with many technological developments, we also need to have standards to allow communication between different objects in the first place. The Internet of Things is not a genuine development that
came about from a few services and components. It was rather the result of simultaneous efforts in different research areas, enabling specific technologies to be integrated and objects to inter-
communicate.
What This Means for Online Marketing
Whether Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, or another technology company, almost all the big players research, develop, and produce IoT applications to pursue innovations such as these. Analysts believe that by
2025 the Internet of Things will be an 11 trillion dollar market. These estimates are based largely on industrial applications, smart cities, healthcare, and the sales sector.
The latter is an area that is especially relevant to online marketing because the Internet of Things will produce high volumes of data that manufacturers can use to personalize products. The degree of
personalization will reach extreme heights, making advertising more relevant and individually tailored. These data, collected by smart objects, also allow procedures such as predictive modelling, to predict
future customer behavior, and smart customer relationship management, which automates the dataflow.
In the reverse case, this means a potential increase in customer lifetime values: when businesses use customer feedback in the form of data, they can respond almost in real-time and invest that
knowledge from the dataflow into customer loyalty. Ultimately this increases the customer lifetime value and customer loyalty. Naturally, these positive expectations must be accompanied by the
consideration of sensitive issues such as data protection, privacy, or the technologies behind them, such as Big Data and Data Warehouses.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution: On the Path to Smart, Flexible Production
http://www.plattform-i40.de/I40/Navigation/DE/Industrie40/WasIndustrie40/was-ist-
industrie-40.html
In Industry 4.0 production interlinks with the very latest information and
communication/operations technology. The driving force behind this development is the
rapidly increasing digitization of our economy and society. It is changing the way Germany
(and the world) will produce and work in the future, forever: after the steam engine,
conveyor belt, electronics, and IT, it is now smart factories that are leading the fourth
industrial revolution.
The technical basis for this are smart, digitally networked systems, which can help create
the most self-sufficient kind of production line: in Industry 4.0, people, machines, plants,
logistics, and products communicate and cooperate directly with one another. Production
and logistics processes between companies in the same production process are intelligently
interlinked to make production more efficient and flexible.
This gives rise to smart value chains, including every phase of the product lifecycle – from
its conception to development, production, use, and maintenance, right through to
recycling. Customer wishes can be considered every step of the way; from the product idea
to recycling, including related services. It will be easier than ever for companies to make
customized products according to individual customer requirements. Individualized
production and maintenance of products could become the new standard.
What is more, production costs can be reduced despite personalized production. By
networking businesses in the value chain, we can optimize not just one production step, but
the entire value chain. If all the information is available in real time, a company can
respond early to the availability of specific raw materials, for example. Production processes
can be controlled across the business so as to save resources and energy.
Overall, production efficiency can grow, the competitiveness of industry in Germany can be
strengthened, and the flexibility of production increased.

EMC Solutions for IoT and I4.0 (v3a EN, April 2016)
It is not only our habits or activities, like how we consume services on our smartphones and
the social media available on it, that produce the mass of data.
According to the Intel study, the mass production, mass communication, and mass analysis
of data are to be found in production, in the public sector (healthcare), retail, but also utility
services (electricity, water, heat).

This diagram by Libelium is a good illustration of where the Internet of Things is
infiltrating the smart world.
These include areas we see and use in public all the time (e.g. smart lighting, smart
parking, smart roads).
However, other smart world/city areas remain hidden, such as smart solutions in
structural health, water quality, water leakages, air pollution, smart grid, etc.
The number of smart applications will continue to rise and catch on in many areas
of our everyday lives.

The refrigerator, its name is BOSCH and it is very smart.
It is networked and knows the Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp accounts of its "users".
It also knows the TV schedule and has links to a smart beverage dealer in the city.
Now, the smart fridge (BOSCH) knows from its user's Twitter account that he has invited
friends over to watch the match and syncs this with the smart TV (its name is SAMSUNG).
...Got it! Channel 1 is showing the cup tie between FC Bayern Munich and FC Nurnberg.
(for presentations in North Germany, use the reference: Hamburger SV against St. Pauli)
BOSCH checks its stock.
"Bad news!"
"...out of beer!"
A quick look at its user's Twitter account to see which friends are coming tonight.
Then a cross-check with Facebook to see what the friends like to drink.
OK. Its user and two of his friends like to drink Flensburger and two friends like to drink
Augustiner.
(Speaker note: For international audience choose a beer of your choice like Samuel
Adams, Foster, Tiger, Guinness, Heineken Coors, Becks, Anker, Corona, Bud, ….and so on.)
Now BOSCH links up with the popular and smart beverage dealer called "Never go thirsty
again" and orders a crate of Flensbuger, a crate of Augustiner, and six bottles of Prosecco
(Prosecco??).
Chilled delivery booked for 7 p.m. this evening
<Ordered-Paid-Enter, Order dispatched, Delivery confirmed>
BOSCH informs its user on Twitter that it has saved his soccer evening....
(...and at the same time invited the new, football-crazy neighbor and four of her friends ...
hence the Prosecco ;-) )

IoT / I4.0 use cases can be found in every vertical line of business.
Here is a selection.
Whether you look inside "verticals" such as mining or aircraft construction...
I4.0 use cases have been operated here for some time and a number of new ones
identified and implemented.
For example, smart tools that know their precise location and purpose are used in
aircraft construction.
If a technician uses a specific tool in an unauthorized area of production, the appliance
can simply switch itself off (or the technician cannot even get to use this tool in that
place; It won't switch on in the first place.)
Likewise, certain power tools may not be carried in all areas. In aircraft maintenance,
only explosion-proof devices may be used, because there may be kerosene fumes and
other explosive vapors in the aircraft service hangars.

EMC Solutions for IoT and I4.0 (v3a EN, April 2016)
After all those figures, stats, viewpoints and outlooks as well as growth potential,
let's now look at a practical example from the industry.
Scheduled Maintenance
Predictive Maintenance
Condition Monitoring
These are just three names for a use case that can be applied to almost all
"machines" with complex elements (electrical and mechanical).
Let's look first at the terminology of the scheduled maintenance.
29. 29
EMC Solutions for IoT and I4.0 (v3a EN, April 2016)
Sample terminology and interpretation of what is condition monitoring.
Other buzz-words around this terminology could be:
- Predictive maintenance
- Data-driven services
- Internet of Things
Plant Asset Management (PAM) is the management of a company's capital assets
that are specifically used for production.
Plant Asset Management aims to run the maintenance and repair of fixed assets,
but also to optimize the use of the assets in place, in other words to expand the use
potential. Plant Asset Management systems in automation technology provide
functionality for the administration and better use of physical assets.
The following diagram gives an example, <click>
30. 30
EMC Solutions for IoT and I4.0 (v3a EN, April 2016)
Imagine one production line for cars, engine, refrigerators, electrical components, food (beer), lawn mowers,
window panes, plastic bags, etc. etc.
And products made for the consumer such as cars (connected cars), refrigerators, heating systems, elevators,
escalators, home automation, etc. etc.
Sensors all over the place.
For the operator of a gas turbine and generator (power plant) there is nothing worse than an unscheduled outage.
Which is why component manufacturers are trying to capture the state of the system (in real time) with maximum
precision using the smart analysis of sensor data, to then detect anomalies and signal to the operator to arrange
an early service intervention to replace a component, or completely replace a part before it fails or causes even
more damage in the overall system.
Ideally, the analysts will be able to signal to the operator to stop running the machines and that the 1-week
service window planned for next weekend is canceled.
This is a sample view of a turbine/generator infrastructure to get an overview of the different sections and the
different measurement elements that are equipped with "many" sensors.
You can copy this schema to other industrial or power generation environment too, e.g. Wind turbines, ore
crusher, production plants, steel mills, etc. etc.)
Sample terminology and interpretation of what is condition monitoring.
The goal of condition monitoring is to catch hardware failures or operational anomalies before they
reach the existing control system alarm limits.
Early detection of these types of events or conditions can potentially prevent engine trips, forced
outages, and additional impacts.
The alarm limits are customized to each unit by analyzing the specific characteristics of the engine in
an evaluation period.
Continuously monitoring machinery is fundamental to plant asset management. Understanding the
mechanical behavior of rotating machinery brings many benefits.
31. 31
EMC Solutions for IoT and I4.0 (v3a EN, April 2016)
This image shows the levels and schematic electrical/mechanical components within a modern, fully-automated production line.
• At the lowest level, the field level, you have the very heart of the production machines, where the motors, actuators, switches, temperature sensors,
flow sensors, valves, signals, etc. etc. are.
• The components of the field level are controlled by the level above. I.e. an actuator must be put in the right position or valves opened/closed
according to the production process. At operation level, motors are specifically controlled to move glowing slabs through the roller at the steelworks,
for example.
• At operational level, monitors and controls are used within production at manufacturing plants.
This level is used for the specific control and monitoring of production processes and offers control possibilities at each production step in the
manufacturing process.
• At management level, all the production information flows together in the control center.
The console drivers (what we call people in the control center, aka controllers) watch the processes and manually intervene if necessary. This is also
where new processes (e.g. when changing production or to program in a new yoghurt recipe) are entered in the so-called batch/engineering server,
tested and then transferred to the appropriate programmable controls at control level.
• The analytics level is for the separate analysis of production (process optimization, energy management, etc.) but also for specific predictive
maintenance. This level is optional because the required sensor data can be picked off as low down as the control and operations levels, using an IoT
gateway, and then analyzed off-premise (predictive maintenance and analytics as a cloud approach).
• At business level we have the CAD/PLM systems, SAP, production planning, marketing, and service, as well as plenty of other applications that are
required by industrial sector as a product is developed.
An example product workflow from the marketing department to production (e.g. a yogurt pot) goes like this:
1) At "business level" the Marketing department discusses a new design of yogurt pot.
The yogurt product "Tastes Good" is loved by customers because of its natural taste,
but the design of the yogurt pot and the handling of the lid are outdated and are considered impractical
2) As such, the Marketing department looks to its competitors to research how they can attract customers with new and practical types of tub.
3) The designer presents his designs to the Board and brings the first prototypes with him, which he made using a 3D printer.
4) The design is ok and aproved.
5) The productio nteam cross check the CAD/CAM files and compiles them into the automation code of the used PCS systems
In regular these steps are done automaticaly from the PLM CAD/CAM system and the used PCS BATCH processes are generated and transfered into the PCS system.
(*) Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
A manufacturing execution system (MES) is a control system for managing and monitoring work-in-process on a factory floor. An MES keeps track of all
manufacturing information in real time, receiving up-to-the-minute data from robots, machine monitors and employees. Although manufacturing
execution systems used to operate as self-contained systems, they are increasingly being integrated with enterprise resource planning (ERP) software
suites. The goal of a manufacturing execution system is to improve productivity and reduce cycle-time, the total time to produce an order. By integrating
an MES with ERP software, factory managers can be proactive about ensuring the delivery of quality products in a timely, cost-effective manner.

Traditional IT processes are no longer adequate. A software-defined data center lets IT build horizontal IT
capabilities across the infrastructure – even outside of your premises to hybrid cloud architectures. SDDC then
enables IT-controlled, self-service platform delivery to the business units and application developers to meet their
immediate response requirements.
This new IT agenda is why we created a EMC Team Of Companies, comprised of EMC, VMware, Pivotal, RSA, and
Virtustream each with a specific mission, but all strategically aligned to deliver 6 solutions based on the new IT
agenda.
These solutions can be deployed in your onsite data center, or at a service provider's site, through solutions like
the vCloud Hybrid Service from EMC and VMware.
Although better together, each of the Team members (companies) is free to perform their work, partnering outside
of the Team to ensure customers can choose the combination of solutions that best meets their needs.
Through this innovative model, we provide 1) best-of-breed solutions for the new IT agenda and 2) customer
choice with no lock-in.
To satisfy customer needs, EMC is taking a fundamentally different approach. Yes, we are building a stack, but we
are building a horizontal stack.
We are building these layers of technology – the information infrastructure (principally the storage business), the
software-defined data center from VMware, the Pivotal platform for cloud, big data apps and we're building these
as horizontal layers. Each one has to be best-in-breed and the market leader in its horizontal space and you have
to play equally well with everyone else in the industry, not just the technology that sits inside the bigger EMC.
This is a fundamentally different approach. Not only have we taken this approach, but we built the company this
way. The three primary businesses within EMC are the EMC Infrastructure business which I run that also includes
RSA, the VMware business, and Pivotal.
It's more than just having management structure set up that way. We also have our capital structure set up that
way. In addition to EMC being public, we have taken a piece of VMware public that demonstrates our commitment
to driving that as a business with an eco-system that supports it, and at the right point in time, we will take a
piece of Pivotal public as well.
This is more than a marketecture. This is how we structure our company from a management structure viewpoint
and a capital structure viewpoint.
We believe this gives our customers much more choice and much more freedom to use our technology
interchangeably as best-of-breed (hopefully with other parts of the group), but not be penalized for using things
from outside the group. This is perhaps a subtle concept, but for our customers it is very powerful and very
important. It lets them look at us through a different lens from the traditional mainline stack vendors.

EMC Solutions for IoT and I4.0 (v3a EN, April 2016)
Within an IoT/I4.0 solutions stack you can find several partial segments that will
interact with each other.
After defining your strategy, service or new offering you can split the IoT/I4.0 stack
into two main levels:
• Sensor Level
• Analytics Level
Both levels contains hardware and software based solutions.
If we have a look to the software, what kind of applications you need?
1) Sensor Management Software (e.g. Traffic control, Connectivity status, firmware
updates if needed, security, callibration, etc.)
If the sensors are all already managed and controlled by an centralized Process
Control System (PCS) a sperate management software is not needed
2) For the transmission may you need a gateway that acts as an translator
between the sensors network (sensor protocols) and your IP based analytics
infrastructure
3) For the aggregation and analytics segment you have to choose a analytics
engine like KNIME, R, RapidMiner, etc.
In interaction with the analytics engine you need a data lake storage system like
Hadoop HDFS ready systems EMC ISILON and EMC ECS
4) For the reporting and further activities you need applications like: WFM
(Workforce Management), CIS (Customer Information System), etc.
5) If your IoT Service contains a end-user / customer section you need a „user
app“ for the user experinces (like car apps, .....)

EMC Solutions for IoT and I4.0 (v3a EN, April 2016)
After you have built your base IoT/I4.0 strategy and first business plan of your new
service, one partial project will be to plan and design the sensor network.
First you have to identify existing sensors in your environment you can use for your
IoT/I4.0 project.
This could be sensors that are already installed within manufacutring machines,
engines, vales, buildings, etc.
If your use case is a new one or for an environment that do not have any sensors
installed yet, you must highlight the following selection criterias.
1) What kind of physical reading you need for your solution?
Or log data from existing machines. e.g. POS systems, ATMs, onboard
computer, video cameras, RFID readers, etc.
2) In which environment you will install the sensors?
Do you need an independent power supply?
Is the sensor installed in a harsh environment (temperature, humidity, dust,
vandal protection, etc.)
3) How can you connect the sensors to an secure network?
4) Cost of sensor maintenance and recalibration services (if needed)
5) Vendor independence of the used machineries within a manufacturing plant /
factory

IoT gateways close the gap between devices in the field and the IoT platform (on-
or off-premises), where data is collected, stored and analyzed by IoT based
applications.
In general IoT gateways, provide a bidirectional communication between the field
and the IoT platform.
Advanced IoT gateways could offer additional functionalities like local processing
and storage capabilities to provide offline services and almost real time control over
the devices in the field. (Analytics at the edge)
Key functionalities include a wide array of secure connectivity solutions through
cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and other IoT network protocols.

Sensors themself could have built-in network intelligence like routing features, and meshed capabilities to find the right communiation path.
Even if the sensors connected by wired or wireless networks the used protocol is one main topic you have to plan for your IoT sensor network.
• Which protocol is the right one?
• Are all protocols have security features implemented?
• Does the protocol has overheads (bandwith)?
• Does the protocol overload the active sensor if it is powered by solar or battery?
Here are a list of the most common sensor protocols that are used in different IoT scenarios.

End-point management applications are needed to configure, administer and
monitor the connected end-points, sensors, and meters.
Depedning of the use case and connected sensors, these management applications
offers several funcions and tasks for the utilitiy.
e.g. Sensor reading erros, sensor outages, network outages, firmware updates, etc.
etc.
Within the management applications no data analytics is done.
This end-point managment applications are connected to other apllications within
the corresponding use case scenario like GIS (Geographic Informatin Systems) or
WFW (Workforce Management System).

Magic Quadrant for Advanced Analytics Platforms
09 February 2016 | ID:G00275788
Analyst(s): Lisa Kart, Gareth Herschel, Alexander Linden, Jim Hare
Summary
Predictive analytics and other categories of advanced analytics represent the fastest-growing segment of the
analytics market. Dell joins SAS, IBM, KNIME and RapidMiner as a Leader in this market.
Strategic Planning Assumptions
By 2020, predictive and prescriptive analytics will attract 40% of enterprises' net new investment in business
intelligence and analytics.
By 2018, more than half of large organizations globally will compete using advanced analytics and proprietary
algorithms, causing the disruption of entire industries.
Advanced analytics platforms provide an end-to-end environment for developing and deploying models, including:
• Data access to a variety of data sources. The advanced analytics customer reference survey indicates that while
the majority of users are analyzing transactional data, new data sources — such as text, log and sensor data,
and location data — are becoming increasingly common.
• Data preparation, exploration and visualization is a key area of functionality as analysis is performed by users
who may lack familiarity with the data and have increasingly high expectations of tools for automating data
discovery, visualization and preparation.
• The ability to develop and build analytic models, including clustering, classification and predictive models,
forecasting models, simulation models and optimization models.
• Ability to deploy models and integrate them into business processes and applications. Deployment is a
significant pain point for many organizations, so allowing easy adoption of models as part of a business process
or application — rather than them just being exported as code or a database score — improves project success
rates.
• Capabilities to perform platform, project and model management. The need to be able to validate the
performance of models and track them once deployed is necessary; the ability to reuse models and audit their
development and usage can be mandatory, rather than just desired, in certain more regulated industries and
environments.
• High performance and scalability for both development and deployment. The ability to perform at high levels of
speed and accuracy with large volumes data and streaming data is still critical for organizations, and with rising
data volumes becomes even more of a differentiator.

After the pattern analysis you receive an result about the condition of the specific machinery or
environment.
Depending on the outcome, different actions can result.
For example:
1) Individual reportings for the customer
2) Tasks send to workforce service team to interact with customer if a critical situation was analysed
3) Results will be used to interact with control systems in real-time, near-real-time to send control
command into the field
4) Or send information to customer about the corresponding IoT service the customer is consuming
Terminology WFM
Workforce Management (WFM), sometimes named Work Management System (WMS) or Mobile
Workforce Management (MWM) encompasses all the activities needed to maintain a productive
workforce. Sometimes it is referred to as HRMS systems, or even part of ERP systems.
In many markets and industries, workforce management is all about assigning the right employees
with the right skills to the right job at the right time.
Terminology GIS
A geographic information system (GIS) or geospatial information system is a system that captures,
stores, analyzes, manages, and presents data with reference to geographic location data. In the
simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology. GIS
might be used in archaeology, geography, cartography, remote sensing, land surveying, public utility
management, natural resource management, precision agriculture, photogrammetry, urban planning,
emergency management, landscape architecture, navigation, aerial video, and localized search
engines.
Terminology SCADA
SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) is a category of software application program for
process control, the gathering of data in real time from remote locations in order to control equipment
and conditions. SCADA is used in power plants as well as in oil and gas refining, telecommunications,
transportation, and water and waste control.
SCADA systems include hardware and software components. The hardware gathers and feeds data
into a computer that has SCADA software installed. The computer then processes this data and
presents it in a timely manner. SCADA also records and logs all events into a file stored on a hard disk
or sends them to a printer. SCADA warns when conditions become hazardous by sounding alarms.

Enablers are primarily technology-oriented companies, such as Cisco, Google, HP, IBM, and Intel. They build and maintain the
critical IoT infrastructure that allows Engagers to create their own connected services. Their offerings include the endpoint, hub, and
network and cloud service technologies: devices, connectivity hardware and infrastructure, computing and data storage systems,
software platforms, and more.
Many Enablers will remain content with relatively narrow businesses, as suppliers of endpoints to—or partners with—other players
that have larger ambitions.
The larger Enablers will fight over the enormous opportunities in integration. The systems they produce—intelligent endpoints, hubs,
cloud services, and platforms—must not just provide connections, but manage and bill for those connections, and allow users to
customize and develop their own services. Already, IoT opportunities are driving some hardware companies to expand in
unprecedented ways. For example, Intel, traditionally a maker of semiconductors, is developing soup-to-nuts IoT systems that
include not just chips but development platforms that will enable others to develop their own IoT services.
Engagers are companies that provide the direct link between the IoT and the market. They use the endpoint, hub, platform, and
service offerings created by the Enablers to produce services for consumers and businesses. Though most of them did not begin as
IoT companies, and many come from non-IT industries—appliance manufacturers, automakers, insurance companies, and retailers
are prominent among them—they expect enormous opportunities as the IoT gains traction.
Engagers tend to be most active in hubs and connected services. Systems like the Nest and Apple HomeKit, for instance, provide
services to customers, while collecting a rudimentary amount of data on customer usage and maintaining a high degree of customer
contact.
Already, Engagers are competing to control nodes of human activity: the smart home, the quantified self, the connected car, the
digital retailer, the intelligent factory, the next-generation hospital, and eventually the city of the future.
Enhancers - Like the enhanced services that they often deliver, the Enhancers are just beginning to appear in the IoT ecosystem.
They provide integrated services that reframe and repackage the products and services of the Engagers. They succeed by finding
new ways of creating and extracting value from the data, relationships, and insights generated from IoT activity.
The insurance industry offers a good example. Several companies, including MetLife, are developing ways to gather data on health-
related behavior to help design their rate schedules and offerings. By and large, insurance companies will not want to create their
own version of the quantified self. Instead, they will work with services that already exist: the Fitbit, which measures physical
activity; emerging systems that monitor heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, and other health-related metrics; and
nutrition tracking devices (set up to receive automated signals from the refrigerator and restaurants).
The Enhancers emerging today will develop new types of services, many of which will undoubtedly disrupt or leapfrog past today’s
business models. Companies with the potential to act as Enhancers would do well to begin planning for that future now.
Your Strategy:
A wealth of opportunities exist for each of the three types of IoT strategy models: Enablers, Engagers, and Enhancers. Entering the
fray, however, should not be undertaken lightly. The IoT market’s newness and heterogeneity will make it difficult to negotiate,
even by those companies with the strongest capabilities and the clearest, most compelling value propositions.
If your company wants to stake a claim with the Internet of Things, you first need to develop a distinctive “way to play” - a clear
value proposition that you can offer customers. This should be consistent with your enterprise’s overall capabilities system: the
things you do best when you go to market, aligned with most or all of the products and services you sell.
