Focusing on the ‘Things’ and Their Manufacturers

March 1, 2016

The promise of the Internet of Things is usually presented as benefits to end consumers. Safety and security devices that can send an alert to the user when smoke is detected in the home or a door is opened when nobody is home. HVAC and water heating systems that adjust to residents’ individual comfort levels. Lighting that automatically illuminates where and when needed for optimal visibility, ambience or safety. But this consumer-focused view skips a crucial step: Manufacturers of traditional products such as refrigerators and water heaters and lights first need to design and manufacture connected versions of their products. In other words, they need to create the ‘things’ of the Internet of Things (IoT).
