What IoT trends are you keeping an eye on for 2022?
Having started as a hyped futuristic technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) is now a fully-fledged reality. IoT solutions are already helping businesses with predictive maintenance, schedule maintenance and the collection of data – and in 2022 we will continue to see companies using IoT to enhance their operations.
For example, over the course of the pandemic we saw a significant increase in spending on various technologies ranging from 5G and Blockchain to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation; companies will continue to implement these alongside IoT to optimize their remote workforce in the on-going shift to hybrid working.
Given the numerous safety challenges that have arisen recently in the IoT domain, next year there is likely to be much attention placed on the security of devices and the data transferred. IoT-driven cyber tools will be a major focus in the efforts to combat cyberattacks which are increasingly common in IoT networks.
Integrations with data analytics and AI have enabled IoT solutions to help businesses improve their processes, boost earnings and reduce overheads, especially valuable during the difficult COVID-19 period. In 2022, we will see more integrated analytics being embedded into devices to decrease the low latency environment and improve performance.
Any sector specific trends?
From a sector perspective, I’ll be keeping an eye on IoT developments in the automotive industry, where solutions are increasingly improving transportation efficiency, creating a superior driving experience and offering advanced vehicle management capabilities. For example, through connected vehicle solutions, owners can remotely control their vehicle from the comfort of their own home. With Voice AI, owners can simply speak aloud to remotely lock or unlock vehicle doors, start or stop the engine and adjust the cabin temperature – to name a few possibilities.
In customer services, IoT technology will continue to increase the power of customer relationship management (CRM) systems – for instance, IoT devices can report problems to the customer desk even before the customer notices them.
We’re also seeing IoT innovation in the education sector where wearables are becoming a game changer. Students can use Virtual Reality (VR) headsets to explore three dimensional views of the human body, providing a more immersive and compelling learning experience. Additionally, wearables are improving student engagement and the quality of teacher-student communication.
