Most companies have become increasingly data-minded in the past decade. But they often report that they’re sitting on a huge pile of data. With various departments having differing workflows and tools creating disparate data located across isolated systems, in Excel files, in databases, and even on paper, it’s not hard to see how this could […]
What’s the Industrial Internet of Things?
(Part 2)
Internet of Things (IoT) applications are so encompassing that they work in the background where we can’t see them, using devices that many of us already own, like smartwatches and smart home appliances. But industrial IoT (IIoT) is a different breed of technology that will truly be all-encompassing: It will track materials from the source […]
What’s the Industrial Internet of Things?
(Part 1)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing at an unprecedented rate. But it turns out that this is just the beginning; experts predict the technology will grow even faster once it reaches its full potential in the industrial and manufacturing fields. In industrial IoT (IIoT), smart sensors, actuators, devices, and people make up the IoT […]
Why Data Analytics Are Essential for the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) generates a gargantuan amount of data on a daily basis. According to Cisco, 5 quintillion bytes of data are produced every day by this technology. That’s a whole lot of zeros! This makes sense when you think about it. After all, data is the lifeblood of IoT. By pushing, pulling, […]

California Wants to Stop Hackers from Controlling IoT Gadgets
Democratic California governor Jerry Brown is making history by signing a bill into law that sets cybersecurity standards for Internet-connected devices. This includes all Internet-connected devices: your smart refrigerator, thermostat, car, computer, and everything in between. His signature would make California the first state to pass a law surrounding cybersecurity of the Internet of Things […]
Is Slowing Down Innovation the Key to a More Secure Internet of Things?
It may sound counterintuitive, but could cybersecurity for the Internet of Things (IoT) be improved with a slower rate of innovation in the field? With IoT, security compromises don’t just mean a smartphone or computer getting hacked; the interconnected nature of IoT means entire groups of cars, homes, hospitals, and offices could be hacked at […]
AI and IoT Can Bring Huge Improvements to Cancer Treatment
