The document discusses how the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving a fundamental shift in the $3 trillion electronics industry from product-based to sensor and data-driven services. It outlines several industry segments that can benefit from an IoT strategy, including medical devices, consumer electronics, network equipment, office products, semiconductors, and power/automation. Representative IoT transformations are presented for each segment, such as asset optimization, intelligent fulfillment, plant performance management, and connected products.

4. Medical Devices
As chronic diseases and patient data continue
to escalate, IoT has a tremendous role to play
to open up new medical markets, new
segments for existing product categories, and
help deliver high-quality services with
exceptional efficiency.

5. Consumer Electronics
& Appliances
IoT in Consumer Electronics is largely about capturing
device data, applying analytics to understand the data,
and using these newfound insights to securely deliver
innovative end-user experiences, optimize operations,
extend product functionality and become integral to
consumers’ lives.

6. Network Equipment
Providers
To address the challenges of price competition, cost
containment and data explosion, Network
Equipment Providers (NEPs) need to have deep IoT
capabilities in service after sales (including
predictive maintenance), network traffic optimizatio,
and software development.

7. Office Products
& Computers
IoT will connect all devices in the office,
delivering new and secure business value with
personalized end-user services, energy
efficiencies, and improved business processes
such as field service optimization.

8. Semiconductor Suppliers
& Mfg Services
Semiconductor companies can reinvent
fabrication processes and equipment uses,
delivering fully secure factory visibility,
equipment automation, proactive
maintenance and energy management.

9. Power & Automation
Equipment
Power & Automation equipment manufacturers can
take advantage of secure IoT intelligent devices and
systems to make better business decisions around
asset utilization and performance, while
simultaneously optimizing equipment interoperability
and service efficiency.

10. The evolution of electronics
“These “smart, connected products”—made possible by vast improvements in
processing power and device miniaturization and by the network benefits of
ubiquitous wireless connectivity—have unleashed a new era of competition.”
