differences between IoT and digitization are discussed, as well as th convergence
between IT and OT.
• The last section details the challenges faced by IoT.
• This chapter should leave you with a clearer understanding of what IoT is all
about. In addition, this chapter serves as the foundational block from which you
can dive further into IoT in the following chapters.

Unit – 1 Introduction
• A major technology shift is happening in our world, and it is
centered around the Internet of Things (IoT).
• The IoT is all about connecting the unconnected.
• Most of the objects in our current world are not connected to a
computer network, but that paradigm is rapidly changing.

What Is IoT..?
• Imagine a world where just about anything you
can think of is online and communicating to other
things and people in order to enable new services
that enhance our lives.
• From self-driving drones delivering your grocery
order to sensors in your clothing monitoring your
health, the world you know is set to undergo a
major technological shift forward.
• This shift is known collectively as the Internet of
Things (IoT).

What Is IoT..?
• The basic premise and goal of IoT is to “connect the
unconnected.”
• This means that objects that are not currently joined to
a computer network, namely the Internet, will be
connected so that they can communicate and interact
with people and other objects.
• IoT is a technology transition in which devices will
allow us to sense and control the physical world by
making objects smarter and connecting them through
an intelligent network.

Internet of Things
• When objects and machines can be sensed and
controlled remotely across a network, a tighter
integration between the physical world and computers
is enabled.
• This allows for improvements in the areas of
efficiency, accuracy, automation, and the enablement
of advanced applications.
• The world of IoT is broad and multifaceted, and you
may even find it somewhat complicated at first due to
the plethora of components and protocols that it
encompasses.

Internet of Things
• Previously unconnected objects that are all
around us are being provided with the ability
to communicate with other objects and people.
which in turn drives new services and
efficiencies in our daily lives.
• This is the basic premise behind IoT and
illustrates why some theorize that it will be as
transformative as the Industrial Revolution.

• The world of IoT is broad and multifaceted, and you
may even find it somewhat complicated at first due to
the plethora of components and protocols that it
encompasses.
• Instead of viewing IoT as a single technology domain, it
is good to view it as an umbrella of various concepts,
protocols, and technologies, all of which are at times
somewhat dependent on a particular industry.
• While the wide array of IoT elements is designed to
create numerous benefits in the areas of productivity and
automation, at the same time it introduces new
challenges, such as scaling the vast numbers of devices
and amounts of data that need to be processed.

Unit 1.2 Genesis of IoT
• Genesis of IoT: This section highlights IoT’s place in
the evolution and development of the Internet.
• The age of IoT is often said to have started between the
years 2008 and 2009.
• During this time period, the number of devices
connected to the Internet eclipsed the world’s
population.
• With more “things” connected to the Internet than
people in the world, a new age was upon us, and the
Internet of Things was born.
• The person credited with the creation of the term
“Internet of Things” is Kevin Ashton.

• While working for Procter & Gamble in 1999, Kevin
used this phrase to explain a new idea related to
linking the company’s supply chain to the Internet.
• Kevin has subsequently explained that IoT now
involves the addition of senses to computers. He was
quoted as saying: “In the twentieth century, computers
were brains without senses they only knew what we
told them.”
• Computers depended on humans to input data and
knowledge through typing, bar codes, and so on. IoT is
changing this paradigm; in the twenty-first century,
computers are sensing things for themselves.
1.2 Genesis of IoT

Unit 1.3 IoT and Digitization
• IoT and digitization are terms that are often used
interchangeably. In most contexts, this duality is fine,
but there are key differences to be aware of.
• At a high level, IoT focuses on connecting “things,”
such as objects and machines, to a computer network,
such as the Internet.
• IoT is a well-understood term used across the
industry as a whole. On the other hand, digitization
can mean different things to different people but
generally encompasses the connection of “things”
with the data they generate and the business insights
that result.

IoT and Digitization Example
• In a shopping mall where Wi-Fi location tracking has
been deployed, the “things” are the Wi-Fi devices.
Wi-Fi location tracking is simply the capability of
knowing where a consumer is in a retail environment
through his or her smart phone’s connection to the
retailer’s Wi-Fi network.
• While the value of connecting Wi-Fi devices or
“things” to the Internet is obvious and appreciated by
shoppers, tracking real-time location of Wi-Fi clients
provides a specific business benefit to the mall and
shop owners.

IoT and Digitization Example
• In this case, it helps the business understand
where shoppers tend to congregate and how
much time they spend in different parts of a
mall or store.
• Analysis of this data can lead to significant
changes to the locations of product displays
and advertising, where to place certain types of
shops, how much rent to charge, and even
where to station security guards.

Internet of Everything
• For several years the term Internet of Everything, or
IoE, was used extensively. Over time, the term IoE
has been replaced by the term digitization.
• Although technical terms tend to evolve over time,
the words IoE and digitization have roughly the same
definition.
• IoT has always been a part of both, but it is important
to note that IoT is a subset of both IoE and
digitization.

Examples of Digitization
• Examples of digitization include the video rental industry and
transportation.
• In the past, people went to a store to rent or purchase
videotapes or DVDs of movies. With digitization, just about
everyone is streaming video content or purchasing movies as
downloadable files.
• The transportation industry is currently undergoing digitization
in the area of taxi services. Businesses such as Uber and Lyft
use digital technologies to allow people to get a ride using a
mobile phone app. This app identifies the car, the driver, and
the fare. The rider then pays the fare by using the app. This
digitization is a major disruptive force to companies providing
traditional taxi services.

1.4 IoT Impact
• Projections on the potential impact of IoT are
impressive. About 14 billion, or just 0.06%, of
“things” are connected to the Internet today.
• Cisco Systems predicts that by 2020, this number will
reach 50 billion. A UK government report speculates
that this number could be even higher, in the range of
100 billion objects connected.
• Cisco further estimates that these new connections
will lead to $19 trillion in profits and cost savings.
• Figure 1-2 provides a graphical look at the growth in
the number of devices being connected.

Connected Factory
For years, traditional factories have been operating at a
disadvantage, impeded by production environments that are
“disconnected” or, at the very least, “strictly gated” to corporate
business systems, supply chains, and customers and partners.
Managers of these traditional factories are essentially “flying
blind” and lack visibility into their operations. These operations
are composed of plant floors, front offices, and suppliers
operating in independent silos.
Consequently, rectifying downtime issues, quality problems, and
the root causes of various manufacturing inefficiencies is often
difficult.

The main challenges facing manufacturing in a factory environment today
include the following:
Accelerating new product and service introductions to meet customer and
market opportunities Increasing plant production, quality, and uptime
while decreasing cost.
• Mitigating unplanned downtime (which wastes, on average, at least 5%
• of production)
• Securing factories from cyber threats
• Decreasing high cabling and re-cabling costs (up to 60% of deployment
costs)
• Improving worker productivity and safety.
Adding another level of complication to these challenges is the fact that
they often need to be addressed at various levels of the manufacturing
business. For example, executive management is looking for new ways to
manufacture in a more cost-effective manner while balancing the rising
energy and material costs.

Smart Connected Buildings
• Another place IoT is making a disruptive impact is in the smart
connected buildings space.
• In the past several decades, buildings have become
increasingly complex, with systems overlaid one upon another,
resulting in complex intersections of structural, mechanical,
electrical, and IT components.
• Over time, these operational networks that support the building
environment have matured into sophisticated systems;
however, for the most part, they are deployed and managed as
separate systems that have little to no interaction with each
other.

The function of a building is to provide a work environment that keeps the
workers Comfortable, efficient, and safe. Work areas need to be well lit and
kept at a comfortable temperature. To keep workers safe, the fire alarm and
suppression system needs to be carefully managed, as do the door and physical
security alarm systems.
