M2M will drive a more sustainable, connected society

By 2015 over six billion objects in the world will be connected to the internet. The explosion of M2M communications, creating what is known as the Internet of Things, is set to fundamentally transform almost every aspect of human society and disrupt every industry it touches.

We see it as the biggest growth opportunity in the market and aim for M2M to represent between €0.5bn to €0.8bn in revenue for the company by 2015. What really excites me about the field however is the staggering potential of this technology to transform society and help create a more efficient, more sustainable world.

M2M is set to transform every industry, from agriculture to fleet management, by enabling complete control over every aspect of the supply chain and hence reducing inefficiencies. At the same time, the technology offers huge benefits in increasing sustainability, from reducing food wastage to dramatically curbing energy consumption.

Explosive growth of data volume, Internet of things into big data technology is imminent

According to IDC data released, in 2005 the data generated by the M2M world accounted for 11% of total amount of data, it is expected that by 2020 this figure will increase to 42%. This ratio shows that the rapid development of Internet of Things and also made huge amounts of data, and how to properly handle and rational use of these massive data is the key to further development Internet of Things.

 

Particles, unstructured data is a major feature of big data in IOT. While this feature is very complex data processing, but they make the right decisions on the system is critical, so parsing unstructured information is an important part can not be ignored. In addition, you can also unified Internet of Things architecture design, the unstructured data becomes structured, the different data between systems with different structures as possible reunification.

M2M technology in high-speed rail trains

Intelligent high-speed trains based on high-speed EMU technology platform, holographic train situational awareness and dynamic digital environment, Intelligent information processing for the support, the train is not only first time to achieve industrial application of the emerging Internet of things technology and sensor network technology in the large-scale transportation equipment, but also the first time to achieve multi-network integration of M2M, sensor networks, train control networks, and car transmission networks, to form the intelligent high-speed train of the self-test, self-diagnosis, intelligent decision-making capacity.

M2M technology

The development of intelligent high-speed train has three purposes, the most important goal is to run in the complex circumstances to ensure lasting security operation of large-scale high-speed train. At complex operating conditions of high speed, large span, long operation distance, by intelligent train system to realize dynamic monitoring, intelligent diagnosis and half-way warning for walking, traction, braking and other key system and components that directly affect traffic safety, to achieve accidents active prevention and rapid disposal fault. The second purpose is to grasp the real-time dynamic train technology to improve efficiency in the use of train, to improve efficiency of train overhaul, to compress outage downtime. The third purpose is to improve service quality, intelligent train system will provide service information, wireless broadband, e-ticketing and other modern information services to meet the demand of information interaction between the travelers on the go with the train, with the outside world, and the railway passenger service platform.
