ABSTRACT
Internet of Things (IoT) is considered one of the next industrial revolution enablers, which is fuelled by the advancement of digital technologies. IoT is dramatically changing how companies engage in business activities, and how people will interact with their environment. Its disruptive nature requires the assessment of the requirements for the future deployment across the digital value chain in various industries and in many application areas. The use of platforms is being driven by transformative technologies such as cloud, things, and mobile. The IoT and services makes it possible to create networks incorporating the entire manufacturing process that convert factories into a smart environment. The members of Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation jointly work on the creation of a dynamic European IoT ecosystem. This ecosystem is building on the work of the IoT Research Cluster and spill over innovation across industries and business sectors of IoT transforming ideas to IoT solutions.
