Internet of Things (IoT)

The transportation industry is changing in response to the widespread adoption of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) – new methods of building vehicles using cutting-edge software, technologies and sensors are being developed, and longstanding OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers are evolving to offer more comprehensive portfolios. Public concerns about the safety and reliability of self-driving vehicles mean the road to full autonomy will be anything but smooth, but...

We based our nine-level robot classification on autonomy to incorporate this concept and to specifically help differentiate autonomy from intelligence.

Medical IoT will fuel greater change in healthcare over the next 10 years than in all of the last 100 years. The application of IoT to healthcare will allow a reboot of healthcare delivery – capturing patient data more regularly and allowing it to be rapidly assimilated into proactive, outpatient-based diagnosis and treatment.

The idea of cars that drive themselves was the realm of science fiction not many years ago, but a confluence of recent technology advancements has made this fiction a reality.

Within those operations, the needs of continuous processes vary from those of discrete manufacturing. The willingness, ability or practicality of applying new technology also varies across differing sizes of enterprise.
