Help:TopicTags

The IoTForIndia website is a knowledge management resource for the IoT Startup community.

Topic Tags are used to classify topics in various ways. A topic can have more then 1 tag. Tags are grouped by certain themes. Tags have a 3 character nickname. One of

• G General Biz Development, Biz Model , Use Cases , Market Research articles,
• H Horizontal/ IoT Hardware capability/ Specialty ,
• V verticals/ Sector/Industry . Used in IoT Startup Directory
• S Services
• O offering or asset type managed (Energy, Water, Renewable...)

Verticals

We have classified by Industry or vertical or sector to which they provide services . In many cases multiple verticals are served.

• V1 Consumer/Home
• V2 Commercial. Office, Co-Work, Warehouse, School ,Bank Branch, Data-Centre
• V3 Retail (Public places). Shops, Mall, Stadium, Cinema, Disco, petrol station
• V4 Industrial/Manufacturing/Plant
• V5 City Nation
  • V5a Campus, SEZ, Campus, Gated Community,
  • V5b City , Township.
• V6 AgriTech Village, Farming, Diary, Hydroponics. Agriculture/Food/Livestock/ and specific logistics / transport just for these
• V7 Health/Wellness (wearables athletics
• V8 Utility Power, Solar, Wind, Waste, Water. Grid, Towers, Right-Of-Way Tracks.
• V9 Transport/Logistics Mobile Vehicles car, truck etc. Logistics, Fleet.
  • Robots ,Drones, for carrying, UAV, Cars, Trains, Bikes EV/HV. Rail, Space, Underwater
• V10 IoT Infra SI and Services for product development and solution implementation.
  • HW ASIC, Semiconductor, Radio, Dev boards, Training, Portal and SW tools for analytics tailored for IoT. Design and manufacturing services
• V11 Misc. verticals Defense, BFSI, Education, Mining,Oil, Mining, Not elsewhere Classified (NEC).

Tips:

1. V1 is for Home and mobile appliances carried by people apart from wearables (which is in V7)
2. V10 is all IoT Suppliers, Integrators, HW and SW and communications
