The walls of the data center are dissolving. Every device on the planet will eventually contain a computer, be connected to the net & be managed via intelligent software. IoT will change everything, especially how products are manufactured, sold & serviced. This presentation covers the impact that technology will have on society over the next 7 to 10 years.
6. Hands-free & eventually
human-free
Robotics & voice-
controlled
Dynamic & decentralized
This data center runs 24/7
with only a man and a dog.
The man's job is to feed the
dog.
The dog's job is to make
sure the man does not
touch the computer.
Data Centers
21. Everything needs military-
grade digital security
Real-time refresh of software
required for every device
Real challenge for battery
powered devices
Security
23. Every “Thing” can be
hacked & hijacked
Software quality can mean
life or death
A trillion points of
vulnerability

Editor's Notes
Industrial IoT is the next industrial revolution.
The first Industrial Revolution was about moving from man-made goods to machine made goods.
The second Industrial Revolution was about interchangeable parts, applying electricity & mass production.
The third Industrial Revolution was about applying electronics & IT technology to business processes. It was about a computer on every desk & in every home.
The fourth Industrial Revolution will be about adding a computer to every device, and combining it with intelligent software.
The third Industrial Revolution automated rule-based roles; such as accountants. The fourth Industrial Revolution could automate roles played by knowledge-workers.
“Unlike biological systems, technology scales. The speed of the fastest bird didn’t turn to be the limit to airplanes, and artificial minds will be faster, more accurate, more alert, more aware and comprehensive than their human counterparts. AI will replace human decision makers, administrators, inventors, engineers, scientists, military strategists, designers, advertisers, and of course AI programmers.” - Joscha Bach, cognitive Scientist MIT Media Lab
Factories will begin to be run like cloud data centers
All products will have onboard computers & become a platform for apps
Service becomes fully optimized & eventually automated
Digital twin technology – it will be important to model both the asset & the environment in order to accurately predict the life of the component and all underlying parts.
Hands-free & human free includes automatic deployment, configuration, & maintenance – as well as automatic forecasting & ordering of components for new & existing compute capacity.
Data centers will eventually disappear.
Once there is a computer on every device, cloud will be about tapping-in to that excess capacity.
Today your car & navigation system know where you are going. In the future your car & navigation system will also know where every other car is going.
This type of crowdsourcing will enable lane-level real-time navigation that will dramatically improve time & fuel efficiencies.
Fleet telematics.
Location, performance & behavior.
Route planning. Emissions.
Digital fingerprints for drivers based on driving patterns
Unauthorized use.
Maintenance.
HOV lanes & signage will be dynamic based on real-time information of vehicles, passengers, actual & predicted accidents.
Lanes & signage will represent time & safety predictions
Safety predictions will be based on driver profiles, vehicle profiles, historical accident data & predicted accidents.
The US is covered by more than 31,000 square miles of asphalt exposed to the sun. Imagine covering all of this asphalt with solar panels. One mile of highway can generate energy for 80 houses. 31,000 square miles of solar panels can generate three times the electricity of the US consumption.

Like data centers, factories will be human-free & autonomous
There will be a move to Manufacturing-as-a-Service where local 24/7 factories can be easily configured to mix or manufacture many different compounds or products.
Impact $1 - $3 trillion in savings per year by 2025 (McKinsey)
Regularly scheduled maintenance will be eliminated.
Armies of people visiting “things” will be replaced by just-in-time maintenance.
Important to model both the asset & the environment in order to accurately predict live of device & underlying components.
Exchanges will emerge that enable entities to monetize their data.
Bots will be combing over exchanges looking for high-value data.
Algorithms will be built & sold like apps are today.
Access to data will enable cities to become more like living organisms where they can react and respond to real-time events.
Building will auto-configure themselves for the next day’s schedule.
The human & machine activity in the building will be captured and used to power the building - Piezoelectricity
Energy efficiency, utilization during peak & downtime periods, airflow inconsistencies, hoteling strategies,
Augmented reality will dramatically reduce the business travel. Remote co-workers will appear to be on-site.
Real-time situational awareness will be augmented with predictive crime analytics
Companies will allow their security video & data to be blended with public video & data
Unified view will enable efficient detections & resolutions
Will no longer need to visit store, pull the video, etc
Security robots will patrol 24/7 collecting audio, video & data that can be used to prosecute
Will tie directly into data systems
Will support facial recognition, license plate detection, ability to identify weapons
Will likely support remote control weapons
Asset management for DoD.
Real-time tracking of clothes, food, water, medical supplies, fuel,
Radiation & chemical detectors
Infrared sensors, drones, surveillance satellites
Terrain intelligence
Injury detection & analysis, prioritized medical care,
Farmers are using IoT for better seed placement, soil and water optimizations, temperature monitoring and even some farming services appearing in the farm economy…improving productivity of farms by 30% on average.
Taking advantage of the increased productivity and optimization of the farms is just the beginning. Getting the produce to the right buyers, the right markets and forks all around the world is just as important.
There is literally 100s of millions of tons of wastage along the food chain…from spoilage in trucks, super markets, homes, restaurants, portions, and sometimes simple wrong produce at the wrong price.
The extreme case is identifying the produce and ingredients of freshest state to recipes or grocery stores on the right day in shortest amount of time.
IoT on the farm is increasing productivity by 30%
IoT can reduce waste from farm-to-fork by 50%
Renewable energy will become baked-in to almost everything
Hybrid configurations include microgrid & power grid configs
With everything producing energy there will be a need to dynamically sell excess energy
Sensors will detect when natural disasters hit & automatically alert emergency services and public/private subscribers
Drones will automatically launch to provide a mobile network for voice & data communications
Individual mobile devices & wearables will automatically detect disasters and notify loved ones
Security – each new device connected to the network introduces a vulnerability.
Need security at every component & level of the device.
Low power processors conserve battery power, but are not powerful enough to perform complex operations such as encryption.
Making DevOps systems available on the net open them up to more attacks
Data Stewardship – Data generated by people, networks, & devices. Companies will need to manage this data in an ethical manner
Emergency access to data. For instance, first responders getting privilege access, amber alert, etc
Companies & individuals will need the ability to share portions of their data based on where the request is coming from.
Safety is likely a much bigger concern for Industrial things vs Consumer things.
Fragmentation & non-standard devices make this a virtually impossible problem to keep up with.
BBC report found that inside of a six-month time frame, hackers attempted to compromise MRI and defibrillator machines more than ten thousand times.
More than 300 attempts to install malware into these devices.

In the PC era the “blue screen of death” was an inconvenience. Quality issues in the IoT era can be fatal.
Medical devices
Public & private vehicles
Emergency notification systems
Credit monitoring like services will emerge for devices
