The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interconnected computing devices, mechanical and digital machines,, objects, animals or people that are equipped with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transmit data over a network without that human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction is required. The Internet of Things now basically does the same thing to all other “things”. And what does that mean exactly? The field is far too broad for a strict definition. But what matters most are four core components that we always encounter in the IoT context:

1. Physical objects that should be connected

Whether printing machines, pallets, packages or street lamps: There are many things that are worth knowing more about, and which we might even want to actively control. What we do with the IoT depends not least on how creative we are.

2. Connectivity:

No internet without a connection. In the case of the IoT, there are many ways that lead to the goal. This depends on energy-saving modems on the devices themselves, but also on the correct underlying radio technology.

3. Sensor technology:

So that there is something that things can communicate with, the right sensor technology is the key: From thermometers to acceleration sensors to GPS trackers, the IoT can record its surroundings in many ways. And also make statements about yourself, for example when determining wear and tear.

4. Infrastructure:

The IoT is not an end in itself. Only with a data infrastructure that links the data and draws knowledge from it is the treasure trove of data actually raised. In summary:  The IoT consists of physical objects that they communicate via the Internet and exchange data there about their own status or environmental parameters in order to gain knowledge and control processes. From building electronics to smart homes, from goods to fitness trackers, or from vacuum cleaners to industrial robots – these four components always matter. There are hardly any limits to the possibilities of such systems, and there is no one-size-fits-all recipe. And so the IoT brings us forward in many areas: Users get new ways to interact with technology. Companies can improve products, manufacture more efficiently and make processes more transparent. And that helps our society to become more sustainable.

With a view to the speed of technical development, the concept of IoT almost dates back to the distant past. As early as 1982, a vending machine at Carnegie Mellon University radioed the network: “Hi, I’m the CMU CS Department Coke Machine!” Thirsty Internet early adopters were also able to see how full the machine was. Concrete developments towards the Internet of Things, which we know today, only followed later. This required some technological prerequisites. For example this one: IoT applications initially had to use common radio standards such as GSM, WLAN, or Bluetooth for data transmission. More recently, IoT-specific radio technologies such as narrowband IoT, LTE-M, Lora WAN, Sioux and Sigsbee have opened up completely new fields of application, especially for machine-to-machine communication. The appropriate connectivity remains for me still the key to the whole potential of the IoT. The radio modules and sensors have also made decisive progress. Entry is becoming cheaper and cheaper and ⦁ energy-saving hardware is suitable for new applications where low power consumption is important.  Hosting dedicated IoT applications in their own data centers is expensive and maintenance-intensive for many companies. Scalable cloud computing has made IoT a technology for the mass market. Gigantic in-house IT systems? No longer necessary. With increasingly open platforms and more and more standardization, it is becoming ever easier for companies to find and implement the right IoT solution for them. Big data is all well and good, but what use is the sheer amount of data if it remains unused? With the help of major advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning, companies are effectively getting insights into their processes. In the private customer market in particular, neural networks contribute to the acceptance of the IoT. Without them, Alexa, Sire, and Co. would hardly be so welcome in our living rooms – around every third of households has a smart speaker.

The IoT cannot be stopped! The diversity of the IoT is also reflected in the usage figures: According to industry analysts, an estimated 14 billion connected IoT devices communicate with each other worldwide. In 2021 that will be the first time that there will be more IoT connections than those between computers, smartphones, and servers. According to Gartner, device connections are distributed around 50/50 between the consumer sector and companies in almost all industries. And this boom is only just picking up speed, as the number of devices is growing exponentially and will more than double in the next five years.

The huge numbers already show it: The IoT has developed into one of the most important technological innovations in recent years. No wonder, because seamless communication between people, processes, and things was not possible before. At the same time, the solutions used are becoming increasingly affordable. Whether everyday objects or highly specialized sensor systems – the more widespread digital technologies are, the cheaper it becomes to produce hardware and develop and operate the corresponding software. The networked things make it even easier to collect relevant data, evaluate it and actively react to the respective situation without the need for human involvement at all. Let us take the industry as an example: In such specific cases, the relevance of the IoT does not stop by a long way: because the Internet of Things is also giving other technologies a powerful boost. Machine learning, digital twins, edge computing – ie data processing directly on the devices – and neural networks are just a few of the new technologies that not only benefit from the new wealth of data – but are also dependent on it as a necessary condition.

By connecting sensors and systems, companies can digitally automate and optimize individual processes or entire sequences. Sectors such as production or logistics in particular benefit from the analysis of IoT data. For example, machines can be serviced at an early stage on the basis of sensor data, cold chains can be better maintained or goods can be stolen tracker notice early. But the IoT not only contributes to the connection between things: The connection between man and machine also harbors the great potential for the future. With the right interface and the combination of web portals, clouds, and radio transmissions, users can control devices over great distances and stay up to date on their status worldwide. In the future, this will include the control of vehicles on the other side of the planet or remote operations in telemedicine. But for me the IoT is not a pure technological revolution, but above all a business revolution. The reason: IoT solutions not only change the technical processes, but they also require a Fundamental change in the entrepreneurial mindset.
