Thanks. And sure, consumer IOT is bullshit. But industrial IOT is very valuable.

- marssaxman 10y agoI hadn't heard of such a thing as "industrial IOT", but I can see how there might be a difference - more of an evolutionary development out of ordinary embedded control systems, I imagine. Do you have any examples handy? I'm curious what's going on in that field.
- petra 10y agoIndustrial(i.e. commercial) IOT examples: - waste disposal: system knows trash levels in each bin, allows optimization of routes, saving 30%. - agriculture: for trees: a bug trap, that measures the bug density in an area - allowing optimization of pesticide. etc for agriculture. - Smart sensors inside pipes, allowing cities to detect leaks in advance. Same for clogged pipes in restaurants. - Putting a lot of sensors in manufacturing processes, collection and analysis to see at what conditions there are problems with the product. - in restaurant chains, putting a lot of sensors, allowing management to keep an eye. also, measuring and tracking everything allows better stock management, critical in high-perishability stuff,
