Why Should You Care About The IoT? - Disruption Hub

Should you work for a company that produces such items as heating, ventilation and air conditioners, 3D cardiac imaging machines, seed drills or submersible pumps, chances are that you're already aware of the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT). All of us in the tech community are constantly excited about any opportunity to tell the rest of you about our cool technology that can run on your machine, vehicle or product. We see the IoT's potential to not only improve services but also to connect each product to the internet, to collect data from it and, using advanced machine learning technology, to derive predictions from the ongoing analysis of that data. But if you're the CEO of an already successful manufacturing company, maybe the questions you're asking right now are "Why should I care? Don't my products sell just fine without IoT connectivity? How can it possibly be meaningful to my business?"
