The Internet of Things (IoT) has really come of age.
The recent win of the America’s Cup by ORACLE TEAM USA provides a useful example of this. ORACLE TEAM USA managed to win this historic sailing race in spectacular style – coming back from near-certain defeat to quite literally cruise to victory. While the skill of the crew was fundamental to this win, so too were the more than 300 sensors on-board the craft gathering critical data on everything from strain on the mast to the strength and stability of the hull – generating one gigabyte of data every day the boat was in the water.
This data enabled ORACLE TEAM USA to improve day after day, using real-time and historical data analysis to optimise the boat itself and help the crew perform at the highest levels. This gave them a huge competitive edge in the short term and in the longer term will allow the entire structure of the boat to be redesigned for greater efficiency.
