IoT – Best Practices: Internet der Dinge, Geschäftsmodellinnovationen, IoT-Plattformen, IoT in Fertigung und Logistik (Edition HMD)
by Stefan Meinhardt Felix WortmannDas Internet der Dinge (Internet of Things – IoT) ist längst Realität. Mehr oder weniger intelligente Dinge messen, analysieren und kommunizieren weltweit, verbunden über das Internet, mit anderen Dingen. Sei es die Optimierung eines bestehenden Prozesses, die Erweiterung eines solchen, ein smartes Produkt oder gleich der Aufbau eines völlig neuen Geschäftsmodells – IoT-Konzepte bilden oft die Grundlage dafür. Das grundsätzliche Potential (Warum?) des Internets der Dinge ist vielfach bewiesen. Das „Wie?“ und das „Wofür?“ sind die Fragen, die es zu beantworten gilt. Welche Prozesse bieten das meiste Potential für eine Vernetzung? An welchen Stellen steht der Aufwand nicht im Verhältnis zum Mehrwert? Welche Technologien stehen zur Verfügung und passen zum entsprechenden Szenario? Wie müssen Geschäftspartner in einem Ecosystem eingebunden werden und welche sicherheitsrelevanten oder auch rechtlichen Probleme gilt es zu lösen?Die Autoren aus Wissenschaft und Praxis des vorliegenden Werkes greifen in ihren Beiträgen genau diese Fragestellungen auf und bieten konzeptionelle, prototypische bzw. praxisnahe Antworten und Lösungswege an.
