The Internet of Everything is the definition of the Internet of Things and the ultimate essence of Internet of Things applications. However, at present, more mature IoT applications are still concentrated on a single IoT solution, and there is still a lack of information sharing between monitoring points and linkage processing between systems. Achieving true business integration is the evolution trend of future Internet of Things applications.
Taking smart cities as an example, most existing solutions include IoT intelligent supervision of urban infrastructure such as manhole covers and street lights. Compared with the traditional manual inspection method, although this type of solution has greatly improved the supervision efficiency, when looking for lost manhole covers, the manhole covers are still searched using a single positioning method, which is not very accurate and very difficult. In fact, the locations where manhole covers appear are often surrounded by streetlights. At the beginning of the establishment of street lights, the municipal department gave each street light a unique number, which is more accurate for position marking. The above case positions the manhole cover using the monitoring point data of street lights. Although it seems simple, it illustrates the significance of information sharing and linkage between systems. IoT data is no longer a limited use of the data of the same type of items, but multiple Deep integration and comprehensive application of category data.
Taking smart buildings as an example, in the indoor fire monitoring and early warning system, the smoke detector will immediately sound an alarm when it detects smoke, and turn on surrounding sprinklers to extinguish the fire. At the same time, the alarm and incident location information will be reported to the building’s IoT monitoring system. platform. The above-mentioned existing smart building solutions can meet the basic needs of industrial and commercial customers for fire monitoring and early warning. However, once the fire develops rapidly and is not effectively controlled, or even worsens, timely, reasonable, and intelligent resource dispatch and department linkage become extremely important. First of all, the comprehensive platform of the fire department should be able to automatically obtain alarm information from detectors through P-IoT, and at the same time display the location of the building, the number of floors, the number of people in the building, whether there are flammable and explosive dangerous goods, and water cranes around the building. Location, water storage capacity and other related information. The smart fire protection IoT system can conduct fire situation analysis and judgment through big data analysis, and provide recommendations and references for information such as the type and quantity of firefighting vehicles to be dispatched, the number of firefighters, and the location and quantity of water cranes. At the same time, it can make reasonable recommendations based on the traffic conditions at the time. Plan the best route to the incident. The comprehensive use of IoT monitoring point data of smart buildings, resource management IoT data in smart fire protection, and road condition data in smart transportation forms a more perfect integrated IoT solution.
Monitoring the status of each key point and developing related applications on this basis is only the primary application of the Internet of Things. At present, the subsystems of the Internet of Things are isolated from each other, and the linkage between systems is mainly realized manually. Therefore, the timeliness and resource integration are poor. Therefore, based on the various IoT sensing networks that have been built, only by realizing in-depth inter-network data sharing and business integration can the killer applications of the Internet of Things make a grand debut, leading to the explosive growth of the entire industry.
