IoT is more complex than traditional IT projects. Success comes down to building a solid business case—and then lining up the resources to execute on it. Explore our resources and information that can help organizations of any size create connected devices that run safer, smarter and more efficiently.
Part of the value proposition for IoT technology and ubiquitous connectivity is enabling new approaches to solving long-standing challenges. Many of those challenges are incidental to the task, like keeping construction site workers safe.
/IOTCONNECT is enabling indoor asset tracking technology company, IOSEA, to deliver total solutions for smart warehousing, industrial automation and the connected worker.
IoT infrastructure security needs to be treated holistically. The challenge many OEMs face is implementing a homogeneous solution to a network of heterogeneous devices.
Maintaining proper temperatures in fresh food storage applications means increased productivity for employees and reduced waste. Avnet’s IoTConnect accelerator enables real-time alerts and notifications for temperature, humidity and other factors.
Avnet will be supported by several semiconductor supplier partners and cloud platform providers at Embedded World 2023 to demonstrate real-world solutions based on IoTConnect®.
Efficiency in the way we create, distribute and consume energy is becoming a priority in nearly every vertical market application. The IoT is here to help, as shown with this HVAC system control demonstration.
When it comes to the IoT, as many myths exist about SaaS as facts. It isn’t just a subscription-based revenue model. The underlying technologies used to deliver SaaS are fundamental and need to be fully appreciated to build a viable solution.
The IoT is giving OEMs new ways to serve customers. With these new products come new business models. Bringing a new solution to market takes effort. Where should you put your resources?
When it comes to the IoT, almost anything is possible. Engineers within OEMs using the latest semiconductor solutions can be more innovative when developing endpoints. And new technologies are creating new business opportunities.
More OEMs like you now favor a microservice architecture. Remove the barriers to agile development and give your engineers greater freedom. The results will be worth the effort of migration.
The IoT is changing the way we manage and maintain essential assets. Smart sensors, cloud-based analytics and remote management are coming together to increase productivity, efficiency and reliability.
Clinical trials take time and money, but they also need participants and lots of data. The IoT is now being used to capture that data from participants virtually and to conduct clinical trials in the digital domain.
Connected sensors and the experience of professional growers are coming together to change the shape of farming. The greenhouses of the future will leverage the IoT to increase crop yield and reduce energy usage.
IoT is now in space thanks to a burgeoning industry including traditional providers such as Viasat-Inmarsat and HughesNet to Starlink and a variety of other new players. It’s the latest addition to the already unwieldy number of choices.
Recent research puts sensors at the top of the list of technologies of interest to engineers. Find out how the latest electronic devices replicate some of the most amazing sensory capabilities found in nature.
Putting more real-time intelligence at the heart of industrial automation is creating a new breed of control technology. Connectivity and control must go hand in hand in the Industrial IoT, but it requires the best of both worlds.
Single pair Ethernet, or SPE, can legitimately be described as a “disruptive technology.” Avnet spoke with George Zimmerman, who chaired the IEEE 802.3cg 10 Mb/s Single Pair Ethernet Task Force, to find out why.
With billions of dollars at stake, Industrial IoT isn’t just about financials. Safety, scalability and flexibility are part of digital transformation. In industrial sectors this has significant implications, but is no longer unchartered territory.
AI may be the headline act, but a greater impact on manufacturing will come from the trends enabled by AI. OEMs can expect to feel the impact in three areas.
Your industrial environment is a complex network of devices with varying roles and responsibilities. Bringing all that together requires the application of proven and new technologies. Efforts are underway to make them all work in harmony.
A small intelligent condition-monitoring project provides a great entry point to the IIoT. Modules are available that make light work of sensing, data analytics and device management.
With over 5,400 cyberattacks monthly on IoT devices, security by design is an imperative for industrial installations. Designing Root-of-Trust concepts into MCUs and other components could be key to more secure IoT networks.
Work on 6G is already underway to define what the standard will do and how it will do it. If 5G is about enabling the Internet of Things (IoT), 6G is about enabling the Internet of Everything – including you.
Ultra-low power Bluetooth-enabled image sensors provide an easy way to add ubiquitous intelligence to the IoT. By using cloud-based AI, smart cameras will get smarter over time, without increasing the complexity of the end-application.
Bluetooth-enabled, ultra-low-power image systems and AI-enabled object recognition make it easier to scale up the IoT. For the first time, low power solutions make smart cameras a cost-effective route to adding intelligence everywhere.
The process of building trust in the IoT is going to take a combination of hardware and software innovations, checklists, certification schemes and legislation.
