Nowadays powerful connected devices are enabling everything from aircrafts to cars, to industrial machines, providing better user experience and saving time and costs through improved operations. The key to this machine intelligence lies in advanced analytics. The Internet of Things (IoT) connects new places such as manufacturing floors, energy grids, healthcare facilities and transportations systems to the Internet. This ensures more data gathered from more places and more opportunities to leverage that data through real-time predictive analytics to improve business outcomes. In the automotive industry connected devices are bringing new levels of intelligence to ensure safety as well as convenience. New ecosystems of connected machines have the potential to increase efficiency with insights to make smarter decisions. Other emerging areas are also witnessing rapid growth of connected devices. These developments are leading to improved safety, security and loss prevention. The three steps companies can take to embrace IoT are- capture and extract data, leverage an analytical engine and give back the insight. Read more at:
