The whole concept of the &#8220;Internet of Things&#8221; seems to be quite nebulous. We know that the potential for real-time information gathering is there, but how we apply that to process optimisation and new product and service development still depends on the individual business case.<\/p>\n<p>Where do suppliers fit in? Well there is an entire value chain consisting of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sensors<\/li>\n<li>Wireless networks<\/li>\n<li>Gateways and routers<\/li>\n<li>Wired network infrastructure<\/li>\n<li>Device monitoring &amp; management<\/li>\n<li>Data collection (storage)<\/li>\n<li>Data processing (big data)<\/li>\n<li>Actionable information (analytics)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Oh, and what is the definition of IoT? I like to think it is Internet-enabling devices which traditionally haven&#8217; t been networked.
