Executive Summary
The Internet of Things (IoT) is known for wearable gadgets such as the new Apple watch or fitness wearables such as Fitbit. Information is gathered from these devices and displayed on users’ computers and smartphones, to let consumers track such things as fitness. There are devices for the medical field to help patients track vital signs and have those transmitted to their doctors back at their offices. Rivera & Goasduff (2014) suggest the Internet of Things (IoT) is forecast to reach 26 billion installed units by 2020, up from 0.9 billion just five years ago, and will impact the information available to supply chain leaders and how the supply chain operates.

Tractor Trailer
Westerman (2014) A service provided by Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) installs sensors in their diesel engines to record performance data and relay it to their customer service center where a team of professionals look at the data to diagnose the issue. If a driver has a warning light go on, the customer service center contacts the driver to let them know if the issue is something to worry about. If there is an immediate need for service the customer service center lets the driver know where the nearest garage is located, lets him/her know that the parts, if needed, are on their way. The driver, when they arrive, can pull directly into a repair bay so they can get back on the road as quickly as possible. DTNA sells this service with their truck brands. For drivers it is a sigh of relief to know that their tractor trailer is being monitored whenever it is on the road, to catch an issue before it becomes more serious.
This can be beneficial for Keurig Green Mountain, Inc., in the following ways. First this reduces overall expenses on transportation by continually monitoring a trucks engine. Issues will be caught before they become serious issues which are generally more expensive. Second, by catching issues with a vehicle and having them maintained on a regular basis will keep down time to a minimum so they can be left on the road making the company more money. Third, with vehicles in optimal
In the story, “Emerging from Darkness”, Michelle and her little brother, William, go on an adventure to explore a cave, when all of a sudden they get lost. In the end, they see the bats flying somewhere and remember from their Mom’s book that the bats are flying out of the cave, so they follow the bats to safety. Based on the information in the story, Michelle’s caring and responsible actions helped her and her brother escape the cave. For example, in paragraph 46, Michelle remembers from their Mom’s book, that the bats are leaving the cave. In the story, it states, ”I remember from Mom’s book.”
Because if something goes wrong on the site such as machine failure, the sensor attached on that machine straight away alert the intelligent control room 1500 kilometres away. And then the supervisor will resolve the problem with the help of an expert’s team. Experts from different mines across the globe are connected in rea-time, as well as a maintenance repair person on the ground and a team of technical support experts from the equipment manufacturer. In the situation like this the real-time information become the most important component and also play an important role in future supply chain management in order to avoid effect of the supply chain
First of all, the internet of things is a set of heavily invested capabilities in search of long and deep profit. The goal of the internet of things is to gather up information about us and use it to optimize processes and nudge us to earn more. This information can be collected by different kind of sensors or device, for example, camera for face recognition, mobile phones, fitness
There are no shortage of predictions about how the Internet of Things (IoT) is going to revolutionize healthcare by lowering costs and improving quality by giving better treatment and diagnosis to patients, ensure productivity and communication within medical facilities, and minimalize the margin of medical errors. We have only seen a glimpse of what healthcare IoT can offer, but what we do know is that it has the potential to increase patient accountability for their own health and wellness and decrease waste by providing supplemental information allowing healthcare providers to provide more personalized, targeted medicine.
Another key to saving money on truck repair expenses is to have the trucks adjusted all the time. Along these lines, blames that are creating are recognized at an early stage, and remedial measures taken before they get to be significant deficiencies that require exceptionally gigantic aggregates of cash to repair. In this same soul, it is imperative to request that drivers report any shortcomings they might see coming up on the trucks under their charge, and guaranteeing that such blames are sorted out at the most punctual open door; as opposed to sitting tight for them to end up immense and
As a business manager it is important to understand the growth of IoT’s, because utilizing an IoT in your business can provide you with information to carry what products customers are looking to purchase. This would enable a manager to stay ahead of the competition and make more sales, by only ordering what your customers are going to buy. The IoT could help a manager make more successful business decisions.
The main purpose of this paper is to have a brief analysis and evaluation on the project provided by Road King Trucks Company. Six main problems offered are the main topics in this paper. After evaluation, a recommendation will put out to choose the right engine and on the project.
The Internet of Things, or IoT, is changing the health care industry by redefining how apps, devices, patients and technology interact. It also changing how providers connect with people and how hospitals deliver new health care services. Integrated health care systems reduce overhead costs, increase operational efficiency and ensure that patients are receiving better care. Better management and implementation of technology will improve treatment outcomes because patient monitoring can be done on a real time basis and digital solutions give health care providers access real time information in order to make informed decisions.
Health Care is one domain that is benefiting from this internet infrastructure called the Internet of Things (IoT). This anytime, anywhere connectivity connecting any device will bring out advancements in the healthcare domain. Things will soon all be connected, sending and receiving data in one big infrastructure called the Internet of Things. All “things”, sensors, actuators, mobile and stationary will soon be sharing trillions and trillions of data between each other. These devices will pave the way for technological advancements in information technology domains such as the healthcare management. According to [2], the IoT consist of mobile computing, pervasive computing, wireless
Applications within the retails sector offer a major opportunity for business to reduce cost and increase profit. The implementation of the internet of things will enable retailers to track their inventory in real time. With products on shelves equipped with technologies such RFID TAGS and smart shelves would be equipped with sensors, retailers would be able to track the movement of products and quickly replace out of stock items. (Thomas W. Gruen, 2007)
Many of the IoT applications will include monitoring devices reporting on different aspects of the system being monitored. For instance, many buildings and offices include occupancy, and temperature sensors. Vehicles could be equipped with monitoring devices reporting on locations, fuel consumption, etc. However, current IoT applications are domain specific, with no wider vision for reusing the data generated by devices in other applications or sharing them with other users in other domains. The Internet of Things is lacking a well-defined architecture that could help create a competitive marketplace of applications and solutions without locking any users into using a monolithic stack from a single solution provider.
The future of digital marketing and business opportunities will see the emergence of mobile, social, cloud and information, identified as the “Nexus of Forces” (Gartner press release, 2014, para.7). These enterprise groups will be looking at more innovative and creative ways in which to reach the consumer. Mobile devices and social media will therefore become the likely gateways. Digital business will focus on the convergence of people, things and business (Gartner press release, 2014). The IoT is set to transform business and industry over the
The concept of the internet of things abbreviated as IoT was introduced as early as the late 90’s by Kevin Ashton, the Executive Director of Auto-ID Labs and a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Now, “the Internet of things is already a disruptive technology capable of determining fundamental changes that are happening in everyday life, and it is considered the fourth industrial revolution.” (Hucanu) The Internet of Things (IoT)
Whether one is a student or a teacher, he/she will not go through a school day without being exposed to a device connected to the Internet. The applications of the IoT in education are endless, and the results are extremely favorable for the student, teacher, and the university. For example, the emergence of the IoT allows schools to enhance access to information, keep track of key information and resources, and improve the safety of their campuses [5].
The Internet of Things, or as many people like to call it IoT, is a wide growing industry with technology that is advancing each and every day. Physical objects are becoming mapped with technology that us humans will eventually come in contact with and interact over the internet. The Information Technology world feeds off of this industry because the internet is storing this data that we use, and the IT industry just comprehends it. With more physical objects being mapped in the real world, the IT industry will need more people to help control all of the systems and data that is being used. An example of this is if a company lacked a certain product then that problem would be reported to the company and further deliveries would be conducted (Weber, Pg. 23) This fast growing industry is remarkable, and the developments of the legal, social, ethical, and security, can be just as astounding.
