3. Healthcare 3

4. Healthcare – Cont’d U se of smartphones to use as health monitors. The patient’s kit comprises a smartphone, scales, blood oxygen sensors, and a blood pressure cuff. The idea is that the patients will take daily readings of their weight, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, then upload the data to the smartphone via Bluetooth to be sent to BT’s telehealth service . Nurses at the service then analyze the data. If there are any abnormalities in the data, the nurses will discuss issues with the patients . Another example, of a state-of-the-art IIoT project in today’s healthcare environment is the initiative adopted by Scottish health chiefs to provide a means of automation, supervision, and communication for remote outpatients. A robot—known as the Giraff —is being used in the homes of patients, particularly those suffering from dementia 4

5. Oil and Gas Industry 5

6. Oil and Gas Industry – Cont’d The exploration and development of oil and gas resources requires modern sensors, analytics, and feedback control systems with enhanced connectivity, monitoring, control, and automation processes Vast quantities of data with relation to the status of drilling tools and the condition of machinery and processes across an entire field-installation. Previously, geologists had limited ability to process the vast amounts of data produced by a drilling rig, as there was just so much of it and storage was expensive and just not feasible. Up to 90% would be discarded, as there was nowhere to store the data let alone have the computational power to analyze it in a timely manner. 6

7. Oil and Gas Industry – Cont’d IIoT has changed that wasteful practice and now drilling rigs and research stations can send back the vast quantities of raw data retrieved from drilling and production sensors for storage and subsequent analysis in the cloud . The data distribution system (DDS) support s real time operation and it is capable of delivering data at physical speeds to thousands of recipients, simultaneously, with strict control on timing, reliability, and OS translation. 7

8. Smart Office 8

9. Smart Office – Cont’d B uildings are to blame for 36% of green house gas emissions. However, controlling or reducing these figures is not easy. Even with a three-pronged strategy, such as improving building insulation and energy efficiency and providing better building control systems, progress has been painfully slow. The integration and development of sensors, devices, and protocols based on the IoT help to make smart buildings a reality. Smartphone has built-in sensing and communication capabilities, such as sensors for acceleration, location, along with communication protocols that support Wi-Fi, SMS, and cellular. They also have NFC (near field communication) and RFID (radio frequency identification), both of which can be used for identification. 9

10. Smart Office – Cont’d T he smartphone provides the means to capture data and communicate information. Also, the ubiquity the smartphone makes them an ideal HMI (human machine interface) for smart buildings, where users need to control their own environmental conditions. One of the main problems with installing traditional building management systems (BMS) into existing and especially older buildings is that the traditional methods are often based on specialized protocols, such as BACnet, KNX, and LON. T he alternative WSN (wireless sensor networks) solutions are based on specific protocol stacks typically used in building control systems, such as ZigBee, Z-Wave, or EnOcean . The deployment is much easier than with the BACnet wired bus, but they still have issues with integration into other systems. 10

11. Smart Office – Cont’d In 2014, IoT6 (European Union working group) set up a testbed for a smart office to research the potential of IPv6 and related standards in support of a conceptual IIoT design. The aims were to research and test IPv6 to see whether it could alleviate many of the interconnectivity and fragmentation. The methods the I o T6 group decided on was to build a test office using standard off-the-shelf sensors, devices, and protocols. IPv6 was preferable but not always an option due to lack of availability. The devices were connected via a service-orientated architecture (SOA) to provide Internet services, interoperability, cloud integration, mobility, and intelligence distribution. 11

12. Smart Office – Cont’d The original concept of the I o T6 Smart Office was to investigate the potential of IPv6 as a common protocol, which could provide the necessary integration required between people and information services, including the Internet and cloud-based services, the building, and the building systems. F our scenarios were tested: The first scenario involved the building maintenance process, which is the process of integratin IPv6 with standard IoT building control devices, mobile phones, cloud services, and building management applications. The second scenario addressed user comfort in the smart office. In this scenario, a user is identified by his mobile phones, NFC, or RFID, and the control management system will adjust the environment to the user’s pre-set or machine learned preferences, such as temperature or light levels that provide the user with a welcoming ambience. When the last person leaves the smart office, detected by presence detectors, the system will turn off the lights and reduce the HVAC to the standby condition. 12

13. Smart Office – Cont’d The third scenario related to energy saving and awareness. In this scenario, the intention was to demonstrate the use of IPv6, with a focus on energy management and user awareness. The intention was to allow a user, when entering an office, to adjust the environment using their mobile phone app. The mobile app will display current settings and when the user selects to change the setting the mobile app will display the energy consumption implications of such modifications. Once the user leaves the room, the system returns the settings to the most economical energy configuration. 13

14. Smart Office – Cont’d The fourth scenario entailed safety and security and focused on intrusion detection and fire-detection. In this scenario, the system learns of a security issue due to presence detectors, which notify the system of someone being in a room that is supposedly empty, or magnetic switches on windows or doors trigger the alarm. Similarly, temperature sensors or smoke detectors can trigger fire-detectors. In both cases, the system looks up the IP addresses of the closest security server and possible backups. The system contacts the local data server by sending the data by anycast with QoS and priority routing. If it does not receive a reply, it sends duplicate data to another group of security servers. The system also contacts the closest duty security agent, who can then access the location via remote video using their mobile phone app. 14

15. Logistics and the Industrial Internet 15

16. Logistics and the Industrial Internet – Cont’d Logistics have been using barcode technology in packaging, pallets, and containers for many years as a way to monitor inbound deliveries and outgoing dispatches from warehouses. U sing manual barcode scanners was still labor intensive and although accurate if performed diligently there were still pallets overlooked or products going undetected The solution is to use embedded RFID tags and the associated RFID readers, which can scan entire rows or stacks of pallets queued at the inbound gate simultaneously The RFID reader automatically records the RFID tag’s information such as the order ID, the manufacturer, product model, type, and quantity, as well as the condition of the items before automatically recording the delivery in the ERP system. 16

17. Logistics and the Industrial Internet – Cont’d Forklift drivers need to find the stock locations and navigate the aisles and rows trying to locate the correct products. Using a combination of location sensors, barcodes, RFID tags, and ERP stock data, it is possible to instruct the driver to the location of the stock items . Augmented Reality (AR) such as Google Glass comes into logistics is that it is extremely beneficial for human stock pickers. Google Glass can show on the heads up and hand free display the pick list, but can also show additional information such as location of the item and give directions on how to get there. It can capture an image of the item to verify it is the correct stock item. Where items are practically identical to the eye, for example a computer chip, or integrated circuit, hands-free, automatic barcode scan ensures correct item identification 17

18. Logistics and the Industrial Internet – Cont’d Furthermore, augmented reality accelerates training, and since the stock pickers are often seasonal temporary workers, this is very important. The technology also allows for hands-free use, which leads to greater productivity, as workers can find the items far more quickly, which greatly increases efficiency while eliminating pick errors. 18

19. I o T Innovations in Retail 19

20. I o T Innovations in Retail – Cont’d Means to communicate directly to customers through omni-channels, such as in-store interactive advertising, web promotions, social media, video, and augmented reality. Many of the benefits come in the back store, in stock control, inventory management, perishable and cold chain management, and for larger operations, digital signage, fleet management, and smart fulfillment centers. As an example, three of the largest supermarkets in the UK reported savings of 50% after the adoption of the IIoT. This innovative form of advertising works by embedding NFC or RFID tags to products, which provide customers with additional information when they are in close proximity. 20

21. I o T Innovations in Retail – Cont’d An example, of this is when a potential customer stops in front of a product on a supermarket shelf, a digital sign located below the product is activated to provide further information, such as nutritional data or in the case of clothing, social-media ratings and perhaps a current discount. These may sway the customer’s purchasing decision. Augmented reality is a new trend in retail as it provides a way for customers to evaluate products interactively and compare them to other similar products or consider their suitability to the environment they would be situated. Examples of augmented reality are the IKEA catalogue, a mobile app that enables customers to virtually simulate having the items of furniture in their real living room. The customer can arrange the virtual furniture in different location checking for dimensions, color schemes, and alter their choices to suit. 21

22. I o T Innovations in Retail – Cont’d Similarly, Uniq l o’s magic mirror allows customers to try on one item of clothing, then the A R mirror recognizing the size, style, and product can change colors to show available alternatives, without the customer having to change each time. Virtual interfaces can go even further as demonstrated by Yihaodian, the largest food e-retailer in China. The company open ed AR supermarket s . Each of these virtual supermarkets has a completely empty floor space and situated near train or subway stations, parks, and universities. The interesting thing is that while the naked eye will just see empty floors and walls, people using an AR-capable device, for example Google Glass, will see shelves filled with vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, and all sorts of real-world products. To buy these virtual products, the customer scans each virtual product with their own mobile devices, adding it to their online shopping carts. They subsequently receive delivery of the products to their homes. 22
