[19p-W631-5] IoT and Digital Transformation
Keywords:Internet of Things,IoT,M2M
Data forms a key pillar in 21st century sources of growth. OECD is discussing the value of data as a new source of growth. The large data sets are becoming a core asset in the economy, fostering new industries, processes and products and creating significant competitive advantages. Big Data, IoT (Internet of Things), and M2M (Machine-to-machine) will be the key for realizing designing a future.
Peter Drucker investigated the impact of railroad on society. “The technology of the steam engine did not end with the railroad.” Although “the railroad made the Industrial Revolution accomplished fast”, the boom it triggered lasted almost a hundred years. The dynamics of the technology shifted to totally new “social institutions: the modern postal service, the daily paper, investment banking, and commercial banking, to name just a few.”
Internet technology has also had an enormous impact on society. Information and communication technology created wired and wireless broadband infrastructure. However, the information and communication technology did not end with broadband infrastructure as Peter Drucker revealed in the case of railroad. The most important impact of the technology should be the creation of totally new industries such as postal service, daily paper, and banking.
The most important impact of the technology should be to solve many issues inherent in environment, city, water management, agriculture, resource management, health care, etc, and to revolutionize our industrial, economic, and social structure. For example, we are now developing a sensor network system for improving the productivity of flower and ornamental plants by the use of CO2, temperature, and humidity sensors. In addition, we are now collecting data from low-cost sensor nodes for monitoring earthquake, structure, wind turbine, factory machine, and human’s blood pressure. The collection, distribution, and mining of sensor information by the use of Internet will open up new directions of information and communication technologies.
The talk begins with the value of data. The effect of data to our society is shown to be similar to that of PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). What we have to is to find out the segments where productivity is low, and introduce information and communication technology to add new value. Next, the value of data is shown in the area of health care, social infrastructure, agriculture, city planning, and maintenance. Finally, the directions and challenges for realizing data-driven economy are identified for designing a future from the viewpoints of general purpose technology, knowledge-based capital, filed-oriented R&D, and service-oriented design.
