The Internet of Things is a technical field that has garnered some of the most significant impacts in recent time. AWS IoT provides global scale and enhances security needed to collect data across millions of devices and sensors; this, in turn, is required to build end-to-end IoT solutions and applications to create, manage, and service smart, connected products without incurring any hassles managing additional infrastructure.
As the market-leading cloud provider, AWS IoT and the AWS cloud provide a global footprint of regions and a broad set of services, which are necessary to compute data, manage databases, storage, and secure device connections; this further helps aid management and helps to procure other IT resources needed for IoT processing.
From futuristic ideas that aim to revolutionize the entire economy to facilities created to improve daily life, we show the best IoT cases through examples taken from some of the best international companies.
Closer to the Needs of Clients
Connected agents bring companies closer to their customers because they offer information that can help them understand how they use their devices, as well as what they like. In a way, it is similar to the agile methodology in software development. Companies make updates, which are further introduced into the production process to obtain feedback from users to decide on the next steps they should undertake. The same agile approach is further refined with the answers provided by the various connected products; all this information can be used in hardware development to help companies provide customers with the best possible outcomes.
Products That Evolve
Thanks to the IoT, one of the Spanish based technology company has redefined the parking experience with the use of its mobility solution. With more than 40 years of experience of parking in the streets, they developed an application to improve parking areas in cities by connecting parking meters, smartphones, parking sensors, controllers, and vehicles used to control and monitor the system. In this way, they helps citizens in their daily challenges of parking and the nuances related to it. Also they established a base for the city of the future; everything contributes towards a smarter future and helps the city remain connected to the needs of its inhabitants.
The Product is The Interface
For years, we have become accustomed to “mid” interfaces, such as a keyboard or mice for a computer, or a remote control full of buttons for a television. A few years ago, “simulated” interfaces were created with the help of touch screens; this allowed new users, especially the elderly and the very young, to interact with products such as tablets and smartphones. Now, with connected devices, the interface is “direct”; the product itself is the interface that you can touch or have in your hands. With more sophisticated interfaces, such as those based on speech recognition, communication occurs naturally.
Reinvent Yourself, Thanks to the IoT
Another sector benefiting the most from the cloud is public services. The best example is one of the largest turbine manufacturers, who is responsible for the generation of 30% of electricity worldwide. The company uses the IoT to reinvent itself and, in this process, also reinvents the economic principles of the sector. The company employs hundreds of sensors and advanced analytics to improve the efficiency of its gas turbine fleet and estimates that, due to the enormous scale of its products, with the improvement of productivity by only 1%, the company can save hundreds of billions of dollars.
