4 The Internet of Things What is it? Who is involved? What is AIM doing? How do you get involved? 4

5 What is the IoT? Original concept from MIT Auto-ID Labs in Cambridge Mass. Looking for an inexpensive way to allow the identification of every grain of sand in the world Using RFID as the base identifier 5

6 AIM s IoT Definition The Internet of Things (IoT) is a global network infrastructure, linking physical and virtual objects through the use of interoperable data capture and communication methods. Standards-based object identification, sensor and connection capability provide for the development of independent cooperative services and applications characterized by a user-defined degree of autonomy. 6

7 IoT where is it going? Not just to allow items in the refrigerator to talk Smart homes, Smart transportation, Smart supply chain, Smart industry Future Internet Any Network, Any Service, Anyplace, Anytime, Anything, and Anyone 7

8 IoT Why do we care? Knowledge is the key to our future Technology developments are already making the concept a reality Internet of things is not about RFID anymore, it is about networks and sensors and ways of communicating Predicted 1 trillion internet devices connected by 2015* *IBM 8

9 IoT on the Hype Cycle Courtesy of Gartner Group 9

10 IoT- What is involved? Think of it as a layered problem System Integration Applications Service Networks Who What When/Why 10

11 AIM s IoT Work Committee meets: By telephone monthly By webinar quarterly Face to face every six months Three work groups Marketing Applications Legislative 11

12 AIM IoT Work - Marketing Trying to explain the concept Why is it important? What is the need? Where is it going? 12

13 AIM IoT Work - Applications Fall 2011 Ohio University (AutoID class) tasked to identify IoT applications 175 cases # of unique responses 97 The AIM committee reviewed the cases and divided them into groups 13

14 AIM IoT Work - Applications Results 31 IoT - 31 Devices - 4 Not IoT - 32 AIDC Descriptions - 14 Others

15 AIM IoT Work - Applications Advertising Agricultural Building Automation Business Processes Customer Experience Customer Service Environmental Food Chain Health & Safety Inventory, Supply Chain Logistics/Transportation Perishables Replenishment Retail Retail Experience Supply Chain Social Precursors, Building blocks 15

16 IoT Application examples Description - WineM: Using RFID tags on wine bottles to display their location in the rack with lights associated to that position. Customer Experience, Retail Experience, Replenishment, Inventory, Supply Chain 16

17 IoT Application examples Description - OpenSprinkler: This project is an open source application to control sprinkler valves over a web-based interface. Not there yet add sensors and maybe it is 17

18 IoT Application examples Tools and Drivers Xbox Kinect GPS Webcams Arduino electronic prototyping platform Pachube ("patch-bay") Web-based service 18

19 IoT Application examples Next Step Develop a matrix to help understand what is happening Expand the matrix with more examples Publish to the web 19

20 AIM IoT Work - Legislative Many countries in the world are sponsoring work in IoT Europe has funded about 40 IoT projects to the tune of 28 million China has put IoT on their 5 year plan 5 billion Yuan UK has just sponsored 500k for IoT projects 20

21 AIM IoT Work - Legislative Other countries (Japan, Korea, Malaysia) have sponsored projects or Universities to show how IoT will affect their country The USA has done nothing in this area The AIM committee has collected data and information to show legislature why the USA is being left behind in this advancing technology 21

22 What does IoT bring? 22

23 AIM IoT Committee IoT affects us all Get involved with AIM to help define the future 23
