(Summary description)Strategic consulting firm Bain recently released a report entitled "The Emerging Battlefield of the Internet of Things", saying that the Internet of Things is developing rapidly. Market research firm Gartner has predicted that by 2020 there will be 25 billion connected devices in the world, generating $300 billion in profits. The report presents five emerging "battlegrounds" for the Internet of Things to help businesses properly define the Internet of Things.

Consumer Internet of Things

As companies like Apple, Google, and Samsung expand into wearables, smart homes, cars, and more, they will lead the way in the development of the consumer Internet of Things. It is expected that many software and hardware vendors will find a place in this space in the future. Improving platform stickiness and connecting with customers across industry segments are key to success.

Industrial Internet

The industrial Internet will be bigger than the consumer market. Industrial Internet can help enterprises reduce costs, increase demand and expand the impact, more and more enterprises, including international large enterprises have begun to adopt industrial Internet technology. For companies involved in the industrial Internet, working with technology companies can help them gain expertise in related industries, improve their analytical capabilities and security capabilities, and reap huge returns in the coming years.

network

Network services giants such as Cisco, Ericsson, Huawei and Nokia have invested heavily in iot to capture new profits, as many industries will require the ability to analyze their networks in real time, and the only way to achieve this is to have efficient networks that can support ultra-high speeds. Similarly, smart homes also require more network resources, and consumers crave faster access to a wider range of networks, and building such networks requires faster routers and network infrastructure to ensure WiFi coverage in every corner of the home.

Real-time analysis

The popularity of iot will lead to greater demand for real-time analysis of networks, servers, sensors and machines. Therefore, enterprises need specialized cloud servers to perform, which benefits cloud providers such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure that can provide this demand. Close collaboration between enterprises and analytics service providers will lead to innovation in multiple areas.

automate

The emergence and development of automation technologies such as driverless cars, drones and robots will offer many benefits to consumers and businesses. Amazon and Google are testing their drones for delivery, surveys and more. In Japan, robots are already doing human jobs in service industries such as hotels and restaurants, while ride-hailing companies Uber and Google are already testing self-driving cars. Real-time analytics, computer vision and machine learning are important advantages for success.
