Smart Systems and the IoT are driven by combining …

Sensors & Actuators
We are giving our world a digital nervous system. Location data using GPS sensors. Eyes and ears using cameras and microphones, along with sensory organs that can measure everything from temperature to pressure changes.

Connectivity 2
These inputs are digitized and placed onto networks.
6 Copyright 2014 FUJITSU
People & Processes 3
These networked inputs can then be combined into bi-directional systems that integrate data, people, processes and systems for better decision making.
