Cellular is the DNA that holds it all together, like the secure welding that forges together the thousands of parts of a car. The IoT is producing new business opportunities through innovation as well as by redefining traditional business operation models. This is the reason so many businesses are investing in custom apps in order to better serve their audience across any device or endpoint.

The rails are anchored perpendicular to ties of timber, concrete, or steel, to maintain a consistent distance apart, or gauge. The rails and perpendicular beams are placed on a foundation made of concrete or compressed earth and gravel in a bed of ballast.

John Deere’s equipment can plant individual seeds to within an accuracy of 3cm. Moreover, when a crop is harvested, the rate at which grains or beans flow into the harvester’s tank can be measured from moment to moment. That information, when combined with GPS data, creates a yield map that shows which bits of land were more or less productive—and thus how accurate the soil and sensor-based predictions were. This information can then be fed into the following season’s planting pattern.

TWI has worked with our Industrial Members to provide expertise and guidance for Internet enabled devices and processes. These risks are evident when applied to real world consequences, such as should someone be able to remotely take over control of a driverless car. The actual term ‘the Internet of Things’ was created by Kevin Ashton in 1999, although the time when objects were connected directly to the Internet really began between 2008 and 2009.

The idea is that all participants will benefit from better solutions to the matrix. High-density soil sampling, carried out every few years to track properties such as mineral content and porosity, can predict the fertility of different parts of a field. And detectors planted in the soil can monitor moisture levels at multiple depths.

Many early civilizations, including those in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley, constructed paved roads. In classical antiquity, the Persian and Roman empires built stone-paved roads to allow armies to travel quickly. The domestication of animals introduced a new way to lay the burden of transport on more powerful creatures, allowing the hauling of heavier loads, or humans riding animals for greater speed and duration. Inventions such as the wheel and the sled (U.K. sledge) helped make animal transport more efficient through the introduction of vehicles. Air freight has become more common for products of high value; while less than one percent of world transport by volume is by airline, it amounts to forty percent of the value. Time has become especially important in regards to principles such as postponement and just-in-time within the value chain, resulting in a high willingness to pay for quick delivery of key components or items of high value-to-weight ratio.
