Intelligent Buildings

“Intelligent Buildings" are networks (wired and wireless) connecting building services to enable systems that can monitor, analyze, and control building resources automatically to improve building energy efficiency and space optimization. In turn this will help in improving comfort, productivity, space utilization, and connectivity that is expected by today’s workforce.

Medical

The IoT has potential to improve many aspects of healthcare, from consumer applications like fitness watches to smart sensors in medical devices that help doctors remotely monitor patients. Hospitals are now using the IoT to monitor the safety and health of their patients. The potential of the IoT in the medical industry is just beginning to be realized.

Smart City

More and more cities are transitioning towards being “Smart Cities.” These smart cities use the IoT to collect data and analyze it in order to directly interact with city infrastructure and to monitor real-time city assets and community evolution in order to improve operating efficiency and to proactively react to potential problems before they arise.

Agriculture and Environment

To feed the world's ever-increasing population, production must increase proportionally and the IoT can help. Smart sensors embedded in the soil can signal irrigation systems to provide water when needed. Sensors in storage buildings can provide alerts when conditions exceed desirable ranges. Crop health can be monitored by drones analyzing data through the cloud. These are just a few examples of where agriculture and technology are starting to merge.

Utilities

Wireless communications allow for instant communication to streamline operations. Combined with smart meters the IoT allows for analysis of customer usage statistics, system load, and other data. Embedded in infrastructure, RFID tags send information on the status, safety, and wear of cables, transformers, pipes, pipelines, tanks, etc. enabling utilities to take proactive measures to minimize expensive maintenance and repair.

Logistics

Delivery and fulfillment is evolving through the use of mobile computing, cloud services, and analytics enabled by the IoT. Tracking with active and passive RFID tags, bluetooth beacons, NFC tags and other technologies aids supply chain management by providing information about the items they are attached to. By integrating supply chain, inventory, and fleet management using IoT solutions, the logistics of any company can be made more efficient and cost effective.

Health and Safety

The COVID-19 crisis has brought several IoT solutions to the forefront. The EPA has reported that Americans are spending 90% of their time in buildings where the concentrations of pollutants are higher than typical outdoor concentrations. IoT solutions can mitigate some of these risks by monitoring and controlling key transmission modalities.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is fueling innovation in nearly every part of our lives. Simply connecting the “things” that were never connected before is leading to new data insights that translate into meaningful change. With the potential of billions of new connected things bringing a tidal wave of new data, businesses want a better grasp of expected ROI, cost, and scalability, while IT managers struggle with integration, interoperability, and management concerns. Our objective is to provide our engineering community and suppliers a path to their solutions.

IoT is a mega technology trend that will not only be an endurance test for legacy systems but will also shape the fate of small and big companies in many different industries. Estimates are for 50 billion IoT connected devices by 2020 and 100 billion by 2025. There are a multitude of companies and proposed network solutions. We, at Digi-Key, are committed to helping our customers navigate the plethora of choices and find the best solutions for their applications or use-cases.

In an effort to accelerate IoT adoption by our customers, Digi-Key continues to offer the latest and greatest IoT-relevant products and services. IoT products span many different categories, including hardware, software and cloud & connectivity services. We are working hard to bring together and bundle these products and services in meaningful ways that integrate into more complete solutions.
