IoT is Disrupting Business Models

Smarter cities

Smarter vehicles

Smarter home Smarter health

Smarter factories

Smarter transportation

More and more of the world’s activity is being expressed digitally by billions of interconnected devices…

…providing businesses with the ability to learn more about their operating environment, and identify and act with the potential to create new value.

By 2020, there will be 28 times more sensor-enabled devices than humans on the planet.

IBM and ARMMaking the IoT “Idiot Proof”*

*quote from Fortune Magazine

• Out-of-the-box technology consumers can buy using ARM chips, which collect the data and sent it to the IBM IoT Cloud for analysis

Brain-Inspired Systems will Enable Better Analysis of IoT Sensory Data1/10th of a watt powers to neurosynaptic chip’s 256 million synapses. The goal is to simulate 1 trillion synapses using only 4 kW of energy

Conclusions• IBM is investing $3B in IoT over the next 4 years • Data is a natural resource and a basis for

Competitive Value • IoT is an enable to augment data in real time

at the edge • Future brain-inspired technology will accelerate IoT • Every industry will be impacted
