"The real impact of IoT will not be the things we see" said Steve Nelson, Director of Marketing Programs at Freescale.
Consumer focused items get a lot of press since people can see and relate to them. But it will be the things that we don’t see, seamlessly integrated into our world, that drive efficiency and innovation in business. Those are what will be the true impact of IoT.
As soon as tiny sensors capture huge amount of data, they can upload them on the cloud and then our imagination is the only limit to all the services that can be created by combining cleverly those information: Is it getting hotter? your customers will drink more beers tonight, so weather forecasts + beer consumption = smart stock management in the bars for instance.
