THE INTERNET OF THINGS 
Convergence 
Daniel Kolodziej
The Internet Of Things 
A system where the internet is connected 
to the physical world via ubiquitous sensors 
! 
• Globally unique identifiers 
• Ability to wirelessly communicate 
• Sensing ability 
• Can be controlled remotely
Industrial legacy 
Not 100% new 
• PLC’s (Programmable Logic Controllers) 
• DCS (Distributed Control Systems) 
• SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) 
• ‘Closed’ proprietary LAN networks
Industrial Internet 
‘Open’ industrial strength platforms 
• GE - Predix 
• Echelon 
• Evrything 
Connecting sensors, actuators & assets 
• Reliable 
• Secure 
• Robust
“If you went to bed last night as an industrial company, 
you’re gonna wake up in the morning as a software 
and analytics company” 
Jeff Immelt: CEO & Chairman of GE (2014)
Benefits 
• Asset monitoring, optimisation & maintenance 
• Product & system design innovation 
• Higher levels of automation 
• Huge amounts of data collection & analysis
