IoT + Big Data are a genuine revolution, but our customers want it delivered as an evolution

All in all, IoT indeed has a huge efficiency gain potential,  but  …

Our vision of the Internet of Things.

The amount and variety of data from smart devices is increasing exponentially. It is predicted that, by 2020, there will be an installed

base of over 50 billion smart devices worldwide

Cities are complex systems that generate huge amounts of data. Intelligent use of these data in real time facilitates the transition

towards a more sustainable city model

IoT to connect machines/infrastructures to manage in real time

To take full advantage of the Internet of Things, a highly secure software infrastructure is

required that has broad connectivity, is modular and extensible, can manage and analyze huge

amounts of data and is capable of delivering knowledge and results to an increasingly mobile

workforce.”

The Internet of Things must include functionality at the lowest levels as well as connectivity, it must be on a huge scale, and

must be in real time. Schneider Electric 30 -  Smart Cities

“IT-OT convergence is a critical step: IT today: Managing a world of “Persons”; OT today: Controlling a world of “Things”

“City-wide integration software is the key to enabling the Internet of Things through an open, innovative platform that allows smart devices, systems and people to connect more easily and interact in a secure,

highly scalable way” Schneider Electric

All in all, IoT + “Big Data” indeed has a huge efficiency gain potential and are a genuine revolution, but … •  IoT is more than connectivity and Big Data •  It must include functionality at the lowest

levels. •  It must be on a huge scale and in real time •  Cities will implement incrementally…more

evolution than revolution
