INTERNET OF THINGSA PLANT AND MARINE PERSPECTIVE

OPPORTUNITIES

• More and lower cost sensors, more remotely• Research and innovation using real-time, big data• Full value chain, pan-industries view• Partnerships to operationalise R&D and innovation• Lead in creating autonomous sub-systems

INTERNET OF THINGS

WHY NOW?

• Continuous reduction in costs and performance improvements reaches tipping point• Hardware is the new software (sort of)• New wireless technologies• Removed technical hurdle of enough unique Internet

addresses with IPv6• An element of investment, supplier marketing, and media

attention setting off a self-reinforcing hype cycle

HOW BIG WILL IT BE?

The Internet has led to disruptive innovation of digital industries like communications and entertainment.

By digitising physical industries, the Internet of Things is setting off a bigger wave of disruptive innovation for physical industries like agriculture, infrastructure and cities.

BIG DATA FROM THE PHYSICAL WORLD

• The 3 “V”s of big data increasingly apply to data from the physical world• Volume• Velocity• Variety

• Also need to consider Variability and Veracity• In turn, makes Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

possible

WHAT’S HOLDING NZ BACK?

• Cheap and ubiquitous wireless connectivity• In-depth understanding of the true opportunities• Demand for real-time data• Visible success stories• Momentum and Leadership
