IoT Applications
IoT offers significant new opportunities for government, utilities and businesses across major industries to compete more effectively in the information economy. The goal of an IoT solution is to increase efficiency and create new revenue opportunities by increasing an organization's service levels, performance and competitiveness. This is achieved by allowing users to access information, receive alerts regarding critical situations, and control and manipulate variables on their dispersed machine assets via a computer or PDA device.
In itself, technology is not a competitive advantage. However, when integrated into an enterprise's business processes and tuned to deliver optimum business value to its customers, it becomes a powerful tool to gain market share, increase revenue, enhanced productivity and profitability. Some of the most innovative enterprises are harnessing the power of IoT to deliver truly creative ways of enhancing customer service, including
- Vendor Managed Inventory
