IoT is the engine of digital transformation
Digital transformation opens up great opportunities for a better quality of life, new business models and more efficient economic activity through the use of new technologies.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of eight future technologies (The Essential 8) that will make the digital transformation tangible, will have a decisive impact and will have the greatest influence on value creation in the medium term.
IoT is understood to be a network of physical devices connected by sensors and software via the Internet to exchange data. The wide range of possible applications covers almost every industry, from networked production and energy supply to networked buildings and cities, networked agriculture and healthcare.
