The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of smart, interconnected devices and services that are capable of sensing or even listening to requests. IoT is an aggregation of endpoints that are uniquely identifiable and that communicate bi-directionally over a network using some form of automated connectivity. The Internet of Things relies on networked sensors to remotely connect, track and manage products, systems and grids. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) – a subset of the larger Internet of Things – focuses on the specialized requirements of industrial applications, such as manufacturing, oil and gas, and utilities.
The European automotive industry, representing 6.1% of total EU employment and 7% of EU GDP, is facing a digital revolution in the 21st century in the form of the connected and autonomous vehicle (vehicle to everything ‒ which includes vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure, veh
The IoT4Industry project supports European manufacturing SMEs to increase their productivity, to modernise their production capabilities and improve competitive positioning by the use of IoT. In the 2,5 years of this project, 40 projects in 17 sectors (including metalworking, automotive, aerospac
The EU takes initiative to accelerate the research and innovation in 5G technology through their Public Private Partnership on 5G.
Cloud computing is essential to deploy technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, blockchain and data analytics.
The worldwide production of electronic systems is growing and exceeded the €2,000 Billon for the first time in 2018. Electronic Components and Systems (ECS) includes both professional (e.g. Industrial & Robotics) and consumer electronics (e.g. PCs).
The development of the connectivity of agricultural tools is leading to important progress in agricultural practices. They enable the development of precision agriculture and increase the transparency of the industry.
Industry 4.0 is radically changing the way of farming in Europe. However, most farmers do not yet adopt digital technologies or only invest in proven technologies.
The Smart Home market is characterised by the presence of a multitude of players, and new companies keep developing products. In this crowded space, few standards exist, and the interconnection is becoming a tough challenge for consumers, slowing down adoption.
The development of the connectivity of agricultural tools is leading to important progress in agricultural practices. They enable the development of precision agriculture and increase the transparency of the industry.
The deployment of connected objects is transforming the aeronautics industry. This affects the manufacturing process with new tools and services that generate a drop in production costs.
