Session Abstract:
The Internet of Things is transforming how we work and live in more ways than many of us could have imagined. Connecting things with unique IP addresses has been possible for over a decade, but the commoditization of sensors and processors and emerging technologies that further enable IoT possibilities are making it viable to move beyond being just connected, into an intelligent Internet of Things.
As the IoT advances, we’re seeing enterprises take advantage of IoT in three major ways:
- Improving operations
- Getting smarter about design and manufacturing
- Deepening customer engagement:
