As we all know, the Internet of Things has a wide range. When people realize that life is inseparable from the Internet, you will find that the Internet of Things is everywhere. But the internet of things is not as obvious as the internet, and it can be expressed by audio and video. The Internet of Things stood at the forefront from LoRa and NB-Iot in 20 16 and 20 17, and gradually entered a stable period in 20 18. Many people are not sure where it is going.
In the past two years, I have been developing hardware products related to the Internet of Things, and I have a superficial understanding of the relevant knowledge of the Internet of Things and a simple understanding of the direction of the Internet of Things. Give a brief answer and express your personal opinion.
Smart home
Speaking of smart home, the first thing we think of now is AI speaker, which is the entrance of smart home. It combines AI, Internet of Things, big data and other technologies to realize the connection between people and things, things and things. Such products include Amazon's Echo, Xiaomi's Little Love and JD.COM. Ding Dong of COM and Tmall Elf of Ali. Has penetrated into people's lives. Connect and control with our smart home (household appliances, etc.). ) Provide people with quality of life (bi) and quality of life (ge). In the future, the smart home industry will develop more widely around AI speakers. For example, it extends to smart wearable devices and smart medical care.
Application of Animal Husbandry and Agricultural Internet of Things
China is a big country in agriculture and animal husbandry. The application of Internet of Things in agriculture includes data collection of plant growth environment, agricultural logistics tracking, food safety tracking, crop growth control and so on. At present, the application of Internet of Things in agriculture is mainly used in farms, fruit and vegetable bases and so on. Others, such as logistics market and food safety market, have not been well applied. This is related to the existing technology, cost and demand.
Animal husbandry mainly includes cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese. There are many application cases of Internet of Things in animal husbandry. For example, the application of Internet of Things in animal husbandry, such as Netease Pig, JD.COM Running Chicken, Cow Eartag and Sheep Eartag, mainly includes animal data collection (health, growth cycle, etc. ), real-time positioning, animal traceability (food safety) and so on. Although there are a large number of cases now, the maturity of technology and the necessity of products have always restricted its development. (Only for animal husbandry itself, it does not involve the corresponding combination products of Internet of Things+animal husbandry+financial loans. Because it involves animal husbandry+finance, it is now possible to consider joining the blockchain. )
Industrial internet of things
The market and application of industrial Internet of Things is the best market situation in my opinion at present, and it is also the application scenario that can best reflect the effect of Internet of Things at present. There are many demands in the industrial park, such as factory equipment renovation, wireless monitoring, equipment status detection and personnel monitoring. The application of industrial Internet of Things is mainly that modern enterprises need to improve efficiency and reduce labor costs and maintenance costs. Now the Internet of Things solution just helps them solve it. Secondly, unlike commercial applications, industrial applications have high requirements on product performance and appearance, but high requirements on service life and life stability. These just meet the requirements of the terminal equipment of the Internet of Things. In addition, the current narrowband Internet of Things technology meets the needs of long-distance transmission and industrial site. Demand and technology can be met, so the prospect of industrial internet of things is very clear.
Smart City
The concept of smart city is relatively large. The purpose of a smart city is to facilitate people's lives. Every part of a smart city is inseparable from the Internet of Things, including security monitoring, environmental protection and parking. The development of smart cities will facilitate people's lives and improve their quality of life to a certain extent. However, judging from the effect of smart cities that have been deployed now, it is not obvious. Personally, I think the main reason is that people don't understand the concept of the Internet of Things deeply, and they have been stuck in the past lifestyle. Some minor changes in life will not be shown immediately, and they will not be as obvious as the mobile Internet. What we have to do now is to adapt to the changes of the times, let science and technology enter life and change life.
The application of the Internet of Things goes far beyond these. It is everywhere. It is our duty as the owners of Internet of Things products to let technology enter our lives and improve our quality of life. Let products enter life, change life, change things and things, and connect everything.
