Abstract
The Internet of things (IoT) is the interconnection of electronic devices or ‘things’ which are used together as part of a network. This reference study addresses the questions ‘Should I put my product on the IoT?’ and ‘How do I put my product on the IoT?’ It is aimed at engineers who are familiar with product development and their own application area, but are new to adding IoT connectivity to their products. It includes examples of real-life IoT applications, for engineers to compare with their products, to give ideas of the benefits of the IoT. It lists current technologies that can be used to put products on the IoT and gives criteria for evaluating them. It includes two case studies of real products (mains powered hospital decontamination equipment and a battery powered wireless sensor), showing which criteria have been considered. The IoT trend has provided lots of tools and technologies that can be applied now to give real benefits to customers and this reference study is intended to inspire engineer to use them.
