QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE EMBRACING IOT TECHNOLOGY

A significant part of the rational for connecting products is to collect and analyze data , such as diagnostics , usage or performance . It is easy to take the view ‘ we will collect as much data as we can and crunch it in the cloud ’, but it is important to consider the cost and other ramifications of this approach , both for the user and you . Remember , the more data you collect , the greater the cost . It is important therefore to have an efficient data management system in place , so that only useful data is collected and that this process is intelligent and optimized .

In conclusion , Mark Lee , CCO of Intamac “ The most important thing to remember is to choose your IoT technology partner carefully , and then plan , test and refine your connected product for as long as is required before you bringing it to market , as it is your reputation that is on the line if something goes wrong . Having said that , this industry is moving quickly , and manufacturers need to take this opportunity seriously . To be left behind could be highly costly to a manufacturer at this exciting and revolutionary time for the industry .”
