If you are involved in any capacity to use digital technologies and the Internet to take your business to the next level, either as a business leader or a technical staff, then likely you already know that the whole buzz about the Internet of Things, about 50 billion connected devices & Trillions of US Dollars in GDP growth etc. is not just what the Wall street or an average consumer understands by the term IoT.
Indeed the Internet of Things is far more than fitbits and smart toothbrushes, smart cameras and smart candles… or for that matter any gadget with a microchip that speaks to your smartphone.
The impact and promise of the Internet of Things is much bigger, wider and transformative when applied at scale to industries like Manufacturing, Energy, Healthcare, Enterprises, and even to Agriculture, Urban development and so on. And this digital transformation at scale gets termed as the Industrial Internet of Things (I-IoT) or the Industrial Internet.
And as you might imagine, while its impact can be massive, so is its complexity.
Because Industrial IOT is not just about one technology. It somewhat resembles a symphony of many matured technologies working together. Matured technologies including of course the Internet, mobile connectivity, the cloud, high performance computing, data processing and storage, App development, AI… (Just to name a few!)
The various nuts and bolts of the Industrial IOT are already functional. And unlike consumer IOT products like smart health monitors and toasters, the promise and impact of industrial IOT is much less of a hype and is more real.
To remain competitive and make the right decisions, be it in our professional careers or in business, we just can’t remain siloed. Now is the time to connect, engage and stay tuned with the mainstream developments and challenges… to help us find the right solutions and make the right decisions.
Decisions on topics such as…
How can Industrial Internet be used in what I’m doing today? How can IOT be applied to improve my business? Do I need an IOT strategy? If yes, then how to implement it? How can I redefine my existing business model around IOT? What about Cybersecurity? Will my critical assets remain secure enough? Can Blockchain be used with IOT?
Well… there’s quite a few such topics that we need to discuss and analyze on an ongoing basis.
And that’s what has primarily inspired The IOT Review – an editorial platform and podcast series exclusively designed to accelerate digital transformation at industrial scale.
In every episode we take up one particular dimension of the Industrial IOT – be it security, blockchain, IOT adoption strategies, business transformation, challenges & success stories – and try to dive deep into the subject matter.
The viewpoints are not of any one source – but comes directly from guest experts and subject matter authorities who are leading the digital journey on a daily basis. Experts and business leaders from around the world bringing in diverse perspectives culturally, geographically and in thought leadership! And with hardly any brand speak per se.
The free podcast episodes are available on-demand – so you can listen to them at any time… whenever you wish, wherever you are.
You can access the episodes by visiting the website. You can also find this Podcast in iTunes and many other popular channels like SoundCloud, Stitcher Radio and also in Youtube.
