In the last few years the evolution of markets and applications, and
there- fore their economic potential and their impact in addressing societal
trends and challenges for the next decades has changed dramatically.
Societal trends are grouped as: health and wellness, transport and mobility,
security and safety, energy and environment, communication and e-society.
These trends create significant opportunities in the markets of consumer
elec- tronics, automotive electronics, medical applications, communication.
Smart Cities
Most of you have heard about the term smart city. Smart city uses
technology to provide services. The smart city includes improving
transportation and social services, promoting stability and giving voice to
their citizens.
Example of a smart city - Palo Alto.
Palo Alto, San Francisco, is the first city to acquire the traffic approach.
He realized that most cars roam around the same block on the streets in
search of parking spots. It is the primary cause of traffic congestion in the
city. Thus, the sensors were installed at all parking areas in the city. These
sensors pass occupancy status to the cloud of each spot.
Agriculture
By the year 2050, the world's growing population is estimated to have
reached about 10 billion. To feed such a large population, agriculture needs
to marry technology and get the best results. There are many possibilities in
this area. One of them is Smart Greenhouse.
Farming techniques grow crops by environmental parameters.
However, manual handling results in production losses, energy losses and
labor costs, making it less effective.The greenhouse makes it easy to monitor
and enables to control the climate inside it.
Industrial Automation
It is one of the areas where the quality of products is an essential
factor for a more significant investment return. Anyone can re-engineer
products and their packaging to provide superior performance in cost and
customer experience with IoT applications.
IoT will prove as a game-changer. In industrial automation, IoT is
used in the following areas:
Product flow monitoring
Factory digitization
Inventory management
Safety and security
Logistics and Supply Chain Optimization
Quality control
Packaging customization
