The Industrial Internet is Emerging

THE INDUSTRIAL INTERNET IS EMERGING From servers to people and now "things," the Internet is powering connections to trillions of entities around the world. More connections mean more knowledge, more conversations and more optimization, and in the next wave of the Internet – the Industrial Internet - these connections will lead to smarter technologies that help to move, cure, power and build out the world we live in. From high speed trains to hospitals to the appliances in your kitchen, everything will be more efficient and more convenient for people. Facebook for your flights? Smart jet engines give status updates real-time while in flight and on the ground, so airlines can keep better track of maintenance and get passengers from place to place more quickly and efficiently. Air travelers across the globe "Like" it! The energy grid is getting even smarter, with utilities now able to monitor power transformers, diagnose hiccups and plan for disruptions. When things move smoothly behind the scenes, customers never have to worry about being inconvenienced by power shortages. Enabling care traffic control; every medical device in the emergency section of a hospital now has a "pager" and will be able to tell rushed doctors and nurses where they can be found and whether they need to be cleaned or recharged – saving crucial time and lives in the process. Software helps schedule shifts 55 and anticipate bottlenecks based on realtime data – like incoming messages from ambu- lances en route to the ER. Optimizing rail; Faster trips with less hassle for travelers: train networks get clogged because every individual locomotive's trip has to be separately managed. Now, connected trains tell each other and network dispatchers where they are, how fast they're moving, and an algorithm crunches the data and directs traffic. I wonder if we're low on milk again . Looks like demand is surging . Need to figure out what items you need to pick up from the grocery store on your way home from work? Just ask your refrigerator. It has its own app, along with your thermostat, your DVR and all of the other machines at home that let you know what's going on when you're out. I hope they don't have to wait in the emergency room too long Dynamic traffic lights? Yes. STUDIOSJR
