Webinar: The Internet of Things-in-Motion: How Moving Physical Materials Change IOT

Whether it’s called “ubicomp”, “machine-to-machine (M2M)” or “the internet of things,” we usually talk about “the” internet of things (IOT) as if it were one thing. But the things that move – from smart-textile garments and self-driving cars to robots and satellites – are wholly different from immobile devices, and constitute a vastly greater set of challenges and opportunities. In many industries, the greatest growth over the next years and decades will come from these emerging distributed, mobile hardware platforms, like:

• Electronics (wearable/flexible devices)
• Automotive (autonomous vehicles)
• Consumer goods (smart packages)
• Aerospace and Defense (robots, drones, and nanosatellites)
• Healthcare (mobile health and personalized medicine )
• Agriculture (precision agriculture)

As theses emerge and evolve, partners will become competitors fighting over ownership: Should IBM or Medtronic manage your medical device data? Will GM or Google be liable for autonomous car crashes? Whose technology is truly driving the buying decision? From this chaos, new alliances will form that future-conscious companies across all industries must prepare for. Taking a multi-industry view, the presentation will explain what can be confidently predicted based on the state of technology today, and lay out the key questions for the years ahead.
