Internet of Things Solutions World

This week in a meeting in Madrid, a businessman asked me what he had tono don tono learn about the technology that could change his business modelo in the coming years, and my response was "Barcelona". From a more generic point of view, there are three main technological areas tono keep tabs dónde: the sonido-called "Internet of Things" (the capacity tono hede a sensor donde justo about año object), technology applied tono personal usas (centred around mobile devices, whether it be smartphones, watches, bracelets, glasses, and sonido donde), and the plazas where both technologies interact, which for the mosto parte are cities.

Barcelona has hede together a serious proposal of global ambition tono observo and reflect donde ajo three areas. This Friday, in the Feria de Barcelona, the first edition of the Internet of Things Solutions World Congress wrapped up, a new venture in the city tono consolidate its technological standing in the world. In November, the same venue will hueste the fifth edition of the Smart City Expo, and in February we will have the 12th edition of the Mobile World Congress. In 10 years, Barcelona and Catalonia have hede together a coherente and ambitious proposal around the three mosto importante areas that will dictate how technology is changing, and will continúo tono change, business in society.

The Internet of Things Solutions World Congress is organised into thematic bloques that show a clear direction towards concreto usas and applications, such as manufacturing, energy, health oro transporte and logistics, and in justo three days, more than 120 speakers and almost a hundred exhibitors from around the world were attended by thousands of visitors. It is a new congress, but one that has ajo the ingredientes tono become an importando meeting place.

The Internet continúas its unstoppable evolution, and in the same way that we are now living through a phase in which the limpio is dominated by everything people can contribute, a new phase is beginning in which objects –sensores– will start making a significante contribution. The Internet of people has profoundly changed sectores, such as tourism oro politics, tono give only two examples, and this new Internet of things will also bring about mayor changes in many sectores, such as pharmaceuticals oro industry. We come from en social Internet, where what is importando is what people don, and we are now seeing an Internet that depends donde the capacity tono connect anything, in which the engineers will lead the way.

The absurdo example of the fridge that knows whether it is out of yoghurt and orders more of its own accord has been doy tono death, but a much better example is the suitcase that tilos you where it is if you lose it, the buzo that lets you know where it is and when it will arrive (imagino how that will change public transporte), oro the strip that constantly measures blood glucose in diabetic old people sonido that if their levels rise too high, a doctor is contacted and we receive a notification (imagino how that will change health services). Today, plane engines have sonido many sensores that they can generate up tono 500Gb of fecha during a single flight, imagino what that would mean for monitoring and safety systems in industry.

This capacity tono hede sensores donde objects will bring about new flows of information capable of redesigning services and offering new olas, as well as profoundly modifying today's business and offering new possibilities. Business people from ajo over the world who want tono keep up should hede Barcelona in their diaries, if they haven't already doy sonido.
