The UN water report, published in 2015, is alarming: before 2030, the worldwide resource shortage of water (all consumptions included) would achieve 40 %. For companies and water managers of the networks of drinking water, the issues are highly critical: it is about to manage intelligently water ressources, fighting against the waste and water losses. It is one of the biggest challenges for Big Data today: shifting from an intuitive management of water resources to a scientific one in real time. Thanks to GPS, to sensors' networks,...

Data recording in transport vehicles has been coming on for a while: already in 1920, there was an embedded named device clock Aurorex capable to collect data during driving and rest times! The ancestor of Big Data of the 21th century. Today, a unique vehicle can be equiped with hundreds of sensors. So, in the United States, US XPRESS installed 1 000 sensors in every truck. Permanently connected to the computer system of the operator, the sensors offer an infinite amount of information: driving time, of rest, energy consumption,... [Lire la suite]

Smart Cities between Datapolis and Participolis When it comes to the near future of Humans on Earth, the future that our children will experience - and this is the subject of this essay - literature is obviously speculative and readily theoretical. Francis Pisani avoids this double trap with ease, which is what makes his work quite fascinating. How is it ? These intelligent cities in which several billion people will live one day, he saw the first, embryonic or already formed, in China, India, Asia, Latin America and Europe. As a... [Lire la suite]

In the area of insurance, where data have always been the raw material to forecast and anticipate the risks, the advantage of Big Data is undisputable. Objective: know the customer as precisely as possible to price him the right insurance product the most adapted to his needs. But, among the internal data of the customer portofolio, the semipublic data, the partners’s data and the personnal information collected (by sensors, smart box, internet surfing and home automation, etc...), the insurer can quickly find himself flooded in a...

Keolis Rennes has launched an experiment to facilitate the mobility of disabled persons by connected sensors. An innovation that is part of Keolis's desire to use the full potential of the Internet of Objects to enrich the customer experience and strengthen the Group's operational performance. A Keolis innovation to find a parking space reserved for disabled persons in real time Since July 2016, two car parks of the city of Rennes, one outdoor, the other underground, are equipped with sensors of car detection installed in places...

Digitization, which is of course happening all around us, is opening up a whole new spectrum of opportunities to create value. But how do you navigate this new horizontal world? Peter Weill and Stephanie Woerner offer some useful insights on these challenges in their 2015 Sloan Management Review article, “Thriving in an Increasingly Digital Ecosystem.” In exploring these insights, and some of their implications, leaders can gain a fuller understanding of the landscape they face. Opportunities for companies in every industry are... [Lire la suite]

Everything is connected. Even things you don’t usually think of as particularly high-tech are connected nowadays. And more importantly, everyone wants data on everything. The ever-growing need for high-speed, high-efficiency work has made the Internet of Things (IoT) into the absolute behemoth it is today. By far, the biggest market for connected devices is, without question, consumer electronics, which includes the connected device you probably have on you right now: a smartphone. But these are just the beginning, and... [Lire la suite]

Security issues, new chipsets, unified communication standards, and growing ecosystems will be the key areas of the IoT market to watch next year. Leo Sun (TMFSunLion) Nov 23, 2016 at 5:00PM Many tech companies are now developing products for the Internet of Things (IoT), which connects various gadgets to each other and the cloud. Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) claims that the number of connected devices could surge from 15 billion in 2015 to 200 billion by 2020 -- tethering an average of 26 smart objects to every... [Lire la suite]

In many cases, IoT devices are dependent on sensors to sense what is going on in the world and then the data is processed to continue the work. These sensors are most important part of devices and hence used extensively in IoT setup. In this article, we will discuss some of the commonly used types of sensors and what they are used for. Temperature Sensors These sensors allow an IoT device to know the temperature of objects and function according to it. Once installed, these sensors use different methods to determine the heat or...
