This is how Helmut Redinger, chief consultant at Atos, describes the system being developed by the company, during the Svit 2013 exhibition
"The Internet of Things is expected to be the next revolution that will put the world wide web in your pocket as we know it when it will provide a new bridge between real life and the virtual world. The Internet will not only be a network of human minds but will integrate real-life objects, sensors and physical activities." Says Helmut Redinger, chief consultant at Atos, a German software company that is currently working in the field with car companies and home equipment companies in order to connect all the information that the machines collect to something that will help fight traffic accidents or save energy at home. We met with Redinger at the booth of the German IT industry association Bitcom at the Savit 2013 exhibition that took place last week in Hanover, Germany.
The Internet of Things will break the basic light bulb of communication today, which focuses on data entered by humans. Technologies such as RFID, Wi-Fi, real-time location data and sensor networks will increase the power of computers to perceive the world for themselves. The Internet of Things will have a destructive nature for businesses and organizations and they will have no choice but to adopt it.
Now is the time when CEOs, managers and decision-makers will understand the potential of the Internet of Things and enjoy the benefits that are available in terms of economic growth and human well-being, and make the Internet of Things one that will not only exist for the sake of things but will serve human beings.
Atos has built a context platform in which it receives information from sensors that exist at least in the smartphone or in vehicles, but to date it has not been used. Today's smart cars make it possible to transfer the data not only to the driver's dashboard, but are also able to transmit it to a control center, and not only inform the driver of his speed, but also do something about it. Today, the vehicle is able to find faults, warn of the need for maintenance, and of course report on
the driver's behaviors, and the location of the vehicle. in real time.
And not just a car but any smart phone. Today it is possible to easily extract data from the smartphone such as location, magnetic state, and a video image of the environment in which the smartphone is located and then also add augmented reality data to the video. The Internet of Things is based on conditional processing of events, where you can trigger rules for additional activities, when you show something to the user through a smartphone.
While a smart phone and quite basically a smart car already exist today, in the future the Internet of Things will be able to collect data from sensors that will be in every device, for example controlling the living room appliances, or closing the cooking oven remotely using a smartphone command is just a small example of the many possibilities.
So far we have installed the software platform we built at John Deere and Renault companies. At John Deere, we allow the operator of the agricultural tool to receive real-time information about the soil, and transmit to the driver where he can work the soil or not, what the relative humidity of the soil is, etc. Through the system, the Renault car company allows drivers to receive a warning about running out of fuel and details about the nearest gas stations, including promotions that take place there in real time. Atos is also developing a system for a manufacturer of washing machines, but at this stage it refrains from revealing more details about the deal.
"We also built a system in a bus company in Bangalore that receives location-based information from the buses, so the owners of the company can know if the buses are on the right route, alert the driver when the bus is traveling too fast. And as mentioned, these are just examples, the Internet of Things will eventually enter every area of our lives" Redinger concludes.
Cisco predicts a 14 trillion dollar market in 2020 in the Internet of Things
Cisco is helping invest in what it sees as a $14 trillion potential in the so-called Internet of Things (IoT). The company's senior technologists shared plans to promote development in the field within the company itself, which is a network communications giant, as well as with its business partners to create an internal process of evaluating new technologies.
According to Rob Lloyd, president of Cisco's sales and development division, approximately 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet in 2020, creating a business opportunity of approximately $14.4 trillion. The trend will create business opportunities first in manufacturing, in the government sector, energy and health and they will expand far beyond today's computing and communication budgets," he said.
The field of IoT represents many challenges, for example, Cisco is working with infrastructure companies around the world in the hope of selling up to 10 million smart meters that support the Internet Protocol. Today, two million smart meters are operating and using a mish mash of about 135 infrastructure protocols. "There are cases where access servers are required, as well as a migration strategy," said JP Vasor, a Cisco associate.
Cisco has created a 40 kbit RAM combination on an IPv6 STACK for smart meters supported by a number of microchip vendors such as Amtel, ST, and Texas Instruments. US cybersecurity laws make it difficult to adopt open protocols, but these laws should be updated and pave the way for IP-enabled devices, says Rick Geiger, senior director of the smart grid business at Cisco.
Separately, Cisco invested in Australia's Cohda Wireless, a supplier of 802.11p boards to enable cars to connect to the network. The US Department of Transportation is conducting experiments with technology that can help connect vehicles to each other and enable an infrastructure for the smooth flow of traffic and accident prevention.
And as mentioned, these are just some of the examples of the Internet of Things field according to Cisco.

So who do you choose to follow you? Apple or Huawei?
Bibi chose for us
The thinking man will be remembered as a statue of a dictator. Or will it be the lot of wealthy virtuous individuals who will live a life of luxury without robots
To Benjamin,
Technology and like everything that man invents is a double-edged sword, it can benefit or harm a person, depending on his decisions.
Technology is not prevented just because "it can hurt"...
The future technology will be able to use artificial intelligence that will get to know the user and his preferences, and accordingly choose the options that best suit him personally, so that you don't have to waste time on learning a new device...
It is true that hackers will have more opportunities, but the benefits will also be accordingly - wouldn't you like the refrigerator to send the list of products that have sold out to your mobile, for example? Or even automatically place an order to the nearest supermarket...
Rotem, I have never heard the claim that the cell phone will destroy interpersonal relationships, but all the new means of communication have indeed caused this. Generation Z is characterized by low attention span.
Not hysterical. The question is how smart and complicated
There should be telephones and refrigerators, for example,
Before the excess of wisdom and complication makes it a nuisance
which does not have a significant profit. Until he actually pays
The consumer is good money for the "opportunity" to host a virus
computer, to get lost in the intricacies of unnecessary menus and the rest
nuisances
Already today there are too many washing programs in the part
from the washing machines and too few consumers use
in all the capabilities of the microwave and telephone devices
the cell phone. At the moment this is not a significant problem
(Except for hacking and using cell phones
in online attacks as "zombies"), but what will happen
If more intelligence and complication are added to the devices
Wouldn't it be right to investigate in advance, some
In general, some device needs to be smart
And how much money will you pay for the inconvenience of everything
"Wisdom" and other complications beyond that
That the chance that you will use them for your needs is zero?
Don't get so hysterical about some technology my friends. You remind me of the people who said that the landline will destroy interpersonal relationships, and tell me how you would manage without it today.
Look at the positive side of things and the benefit that the person will derive from them... we will manage with the loss of privacy
to collect It's nothing else. Privacy will be lost forever when the authorities (including insurance companies)
They will receive information from the refrigerator about the foods you buy, and the car will broadcast to the whole world
Where are you exactly and at which gas station did you fill up and how much? You are the cell phone
Can turn off and replace with an anonymous device, the car is more difficult.
The sequel is even worse, when humans will turn themselves into cyborgs
And they will implant processors and transmitters in their bodies to get super abilities.
Think of the havoc one successful hacker can wreak.
When hackers start breaking into cars, objects in the apartment and industrial machines the "Internet of Things" bubble will soon burst.
Like this???, Google Translate and you published?, at least go over it once before publishing
?
To my father, you forgot to update about the Soyuz spacecraft
