IoT Revolutionizes Industries: Virgin Atlantic Boosts Efficiency, UK Gov Invests £40M
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionising industries worldwide. From predicting maintenance needs to enhancing compliance, IoT is transforming businesses. Recent developments include a £40 million UK government programme and collaborations between tech giants.
Virgin Atlantic is leveraging IoT to boost flight efficiency. IoT sensors predict maintenance requirements, ensuring safety and minimising downtime.
In Germany, CONTACT Software specialises in open standard software for Industrial IoT. The company supports digital transformation and product lifecycle management tailored to industrial enterprises. Meanwhile, Fraunhofer IPMS develops advanced Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) IP cores and RISC-V processor cores, enabling real-time, standards-compliant communication for IoT devices.
Bosch, a global leader, aims to connect devices over the internet to fuel smart homes, cars, and factories. The company's CEO, Volkmar Denner, emphasises the future dependence of Bosch on IoT.
The UK government has launched a £40 million, three-year IoT programme called IoTUK. This initiative aims to drive growth and innovation in the IoT sector.
Successful IoT projects require openness, accessibility, and common data structures for integration. IoT systems have improved industrial output by creating real-time production dashboards. For instance, Greyhound uses IoT for driver safety compliance by monitoring bus sensors and adaptive cruise control.
Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital utilises IoT to enable nurses to send patient data directly from medical devices, streamlining healthcare processes.
Last year, Deutsche Telekom and SAP announced a collaboration on software standards for IoT devices at CeBit. This partnership aims to create interoperable IoT systems and drive innovation.
With companies like Virgin Atlantic, Bosch, and governments investing in IoT, the technology's potential is evident. As IoT continues to transform industries, collaborations and standardisations will be key to its widespread adoption and success.
