Weekly Webinar Recommendation: “Internet of Things: The Foundation of the Digital Business”
Are you interested in the Internet of Things?
Imagine a digitally enabled world where everyone and everything (objects, buildings, machinery) is connected to the internet.
You may imagine a city center for example, where a train come in. The train is connected to with other things and people. It tell everyone and everything where it came from, where it is heading, or where you can buy tickets to the local theatre… The train is talking to an intelligent building. The intelligent building is talking to people. This intelligent building has a parking garage. The parking garage is talking to the cars. Your connected car is negotiating with the intelligent building regarding parking prices for the evening. The car transfers money from your bank account to the building’s bank account and then drives itself in and parks itself.
THIS is the Internet of Things.
The Internet of Things: The Foundation of the Digital Business webinar shows why it is not so difficult to imagine this world.
It can be called different names, such as smart city, digital oilfield solutions, connected vehicle, smart classroom or hospital. All these are IoT.
