Abstract
Internet of Laboratory Things – Lessons Learned from Other Industries. The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to become a large industry of its own, projected to hit the $7 trillion to $20 trillion revenue mark by 2020. However, there still is a certain amount of hype and it may take a few years before industries see IoT fully mature as an integrated technology and become fully mainstream. Since the term “IoT” was coined in 1999, industries have been working to apply the technologies to gain insight, save cost, and improve revenue. The resulting explosion means smart devices are now in use in homes, as wearables, and in many industries.
Ross Emerton, VP / Chief Architect from Astrix Technology Group will discuss
- Major benefits of IoT that may be applicable to the laboratory;
- IoT lessons from other industries that are applicable to the Internet of Laboratory Things (IoLT), including 4 highly-applicable lessons dealing with data collection, data enrichment, visualization tools, and predictive analytics;
- Applicable IoT challenges faced in other industries including cost, integration, security, and the application of industry-specific knowledge; and
Proven techniques for overcoming challenges: from strategy to implementation platforms and where the lessons learned can be applied.
