What lacked at the turn of the century was a clear understanding of how these “new-concept” devices would talk to systems of importance, e.g. a controller or ingestion mechanism, and, more importantly, how they would be ultimately used to benefit our everyday lives. Home automation, smart phone-enabled and other simple devices soon became commonplace, and we began to see the benefit of these “things”. Fast-forward, industry found great utility in placing these devices within their own systems to capture information that may not have been native when the original system was developed. The IoT wild west began…
