From the Edge To the Enterprise: Making the case for the value of IoT

摘要

While we are only just beginning to understand the full impact and meaning of the Internet of Things (IoT) for the utilities industry, the industry is already changing and transforming because of it. To be clear, the utility industry is not unfamiliar with the IoT. The smart grid applies IoT technology (such as smart sensors, two-way communications and data analytics) to the electric grid infrastructure. This enables better efficiency, improved reliability, the integration of more renewables and distributed energy resources, reduced emissions and more engaged and empowered customers.
