Edge computing will be a critical component of future IoT systems. To understand why, let’s break down what edge computing really means and the benefits it offers. What is edge computing, anyway? Edge computing involves keeping the computational data analysis in or close to an IoT device instead of moving the data up to the

“It’s different to make predictions, especially about the future.” While debate rages about who’s responsible for that famous quote, every industry gets its share of predictions every year. The Internet of Things is no different. Check out the following predictions of trends that were expected to go mainstream in 2018. Now that we’re near the

I have always loved emerging technologies and its potential to fundamentally change the world we live in. That is why I was so excited to join Augmate to harness the power of IoT, Blockchain and AI and play a part in empowering the next digital revolution. As the world’s leading device management solution for wearable

As technology changes, so do the skills necessary to succeed in the workforce. All the research and studies say there will billions of connected devices by 2020. It stands to reason that for these devices to work well together, someone had better be good at designing them, monitoring them, understanding the data and making sure

IoT product manufacturers face new challenges seemingly every day, as new smart devices continue to proliferate our homes and businesses. One of the more pervasive of those challenges comes when they have to set a price for the services made possible by their smart products and their built in sensors. They aren’t selling tangible products

Interested in learning more about IoT, AI and blockchain, or some convergence of all three? It’s time to start planning your conference schedule for next year. Here are a few of the biggest and best coming up in 2019.   IoT EVOLUTION EXPO (THE ONLY EVENT COVERING ALL OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS) Jan. 29 –

In 1991, a man by the name of Weisner described a day in the life of a person in the 21st century. At the time, it probably seemed a little far-fetched. Sarah came home feeling a little under the weather — a smart chair measured her temperature and passed a command to a kettle to boil water to temperature comfortable

Once upon a time, large and lumbering insurance companies created financial models based on the statistical sampling of previous performance to predict future outcomes. They created risk pools based on zip codes and crime rates, gender and age. This is how the insurers established premium costs. Of all the industries that fall under the broader

When it works like it should, the Internet of Things is widely known as a technology to make our lives easier, activities more convenient and, ultimately, to save us time. Who doesn’t appreciate having their fridge send them a grocery list, or their fit bit guilt them into one more time around the block? But

Machine learning used to sound futuristic, but now it’s here as an accepted subfield of computer science and artificial intelligence. It involves the construction of systems that can analyze and learn from the data collected from the expanse of devices and sensors connected to the Internet of Things. Most excitingly, it exists now around us,
