Since the concept of the Internet of Things was introduced to the present, it has been known to the general public through media publicity and packaging. However, if you list the applications in your life, apart from traditional close-door access control, IC, and the recently-generated two-dimensional code, It's very rare.
Looking at today's major technologies of the Internet of Things, most of them originate from the original technologies in various fields, such as RFID, Zigbee, and so on. As early as ten years ago, they have basically matured and integrated many technologies and changed their names. The new bottle of old wine is nothing new in itself.
The smart XX series that the gang is advocating day by day is either just hearing its voice or nothing new, but so far it hasn't seen really meaningful changes.
Google’s launch of Google Project Glass last month was refreshing, technologically advanced and dazzling, and even more important—practical. I remember a month ago, I went to Shanghai to participate in the Electronics Show and the Consumer Electronics Show. I saw Little Swan's washing machine, and the Android system that I run. I can hang QQ and watch movies. The publicity point is smart things, but I can't understand it. Would you be chatting in front of the washing machine during such a time? This is a representative of the traditional industry, follow the Internet of things, and put it into practice, but it is so raw, which is a deformed status quo of the development of China's Internet of things.
The first thing on the planet that wanted to be an Internet of Things was Bill Gates. Around 1995, Bill published his first book, The Road to the Future. The first domestic proposal for similar ideas should be Shanda Chen’s grand box. Chen Tianqiao once conceived that such a "box" would be filled with games, videos, novels, and e-books, and the family would sit together and play games. At that time, the bandwidth was too narrow and the hardware could not meet the operational requirements. It was such a great idea. The grand box seems to be out of date, the concept is too early to be so early, and now the era of popularization of smart devices is really the best time for the development of the Internet of Things. The grandness of digging wells has not dug up water. People ran away.
How can we count the true Internet of Things and intelligence? There is a fundamental difference between the Internet of Things and the Internet. Today, the Internet is essentially a human-to-human information interaction and interpersonal interaction. This demand is centered on people and is based on human brain and psychological interaction. , is the natural demand of humans as social animals. The interconnection of objects is based on the needs of human life and production. The types of objects are numerous and the objects themselves are not intelligent. What can be done at present is only the implementation of identification, sensor acquisition and setting procedures. Take smart homes in terms of the need to accurately control the status of each home appliance and the scene, and scientific treatment. This is not simply a matter of installing several sensors and running several clocking routines. At a minimum, each home appliance needs a unified communication protocol and management means, so that humans can easily use a terminal for manipulation, and the cost of the smart home will be very high. The protocol standards and interfaces between various manufacturers are just enough to make a difference. Real implementation will take time.
In the future, the Internet of Things will most likely first emerge from traditional industries such as manufacturing. Because the types of manufactured goods of the same company are limited and the manufacturing process is relatively standardized, the application of the Internet of Things can really improve the company's production efficiency and management level. Take the industrial application of our company's manufacturing and manufacturing, the auxiliary companies realize automatic delivery and scientific distribution of materials, and through project deployment, the transparent management of the entire process of the vehicles from the first station to the inspection and offline is realized. Material tracking, integration of production side material storage and MES material distribution for each station, through model calculation, accurate to each vehicle in each order, scientific distribution of materials for each vehicle in each station, guarantee Customized product parts are ready for the next station at the correct time, with the correct materials delivered to the designated station, and then based on the manufacturing time of the station. The entire process is fully automated and completely based on customer needs. There is no precedent in the industry.
I think this is the direction in which the Internet of Things will be implemented first in the future. There will be no overly dazzling technology and packaging to provide customers with tangible improvements in efficiency. In the development trend of the interconnection of objects, the intelligence of enterprises, industries, and objects is the foundation, and then the development of the interconnection of households and consumers' objects can be discussed.
Can not blindly pursue high-tech, but can not be applied to the project project. The Internet of Things has not achieved the expected rapid development speed today. The core issue is the lack of demand for excavation. Through the government's short-term stimulation of the market, it will only have the effect of boosting growth. If the government’s industry support is like a Viagra and there is no real demand for a foundation or business model, the project that is being established will become a little boy who eats Viagra and will see the government’s various Internet-based projects.
As for the product manufacturing side of the Internet of Things, we can review the early PC experience. The obvious features of the major development of the PC industry are: modular division of labor and global supply chain. Computers 30 years ago, there were many instruction sets, many CPUs, hardware incompatible with each other, and many operating system platforms. Intel's X86 and windows are just one of many options. The light instruction set has Powerpc, Alpha, MIPS.... Operating systems each have their own modified Linux, even though Windows also has X86 and Alpha versions. Slowly, the industry has unified the supply chain: the core CPU is provided by intel and AMD; the system is provided by Microsoft; Lenovo, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Haier and Shenzhou use the same processor, the same configuration, and the same operating system. This leads to an experience of homogenization.
The RFID industry has also slowly appeared in the same division of labor. The chip is provided by the source RF, Yingpengjie, ARM and other companies. The ARM motherboard, Linux OS.... The industrial chain has a clear division of labor, doing the CPU, doing RF chips, making screens, Do your own job. This will avoid a lot of duplication of labor, unified systems and data formats. Same interface, same user experience. Finally, the gap between our products and foreign products will become smaller and smaller. We will copy the counterattacks of computers and mobile phones.
Although today's technology of the Internet of Things has slowly matured, large-scale applications still lack opportunities. Liu Bei once said, "When you are under your knees, when you wait for the heavens, you must not compete with your life." The large-scale popularization of the Internet of Things will take time, make an appointment, and make plenty of preparations. Let's wait for the blooming moment.
