China: Why Internet of Things awareness should be on your corporate due diligence agenda

From blogs.computerworlduk.com - October 30, 2012 8:57 AM

One factor alone - China - should be making western political and business leaders wake up, sit up, take notice and put the “Internet of Things” firmly into all their political and corporate business planning cycles.

The outgoing Chinese Politburo certainly recognised the transformative impact of billions of cheap, small, very smart, intercommunicating sensor devices - the miniature building blocks of the Internet of Things.

This is about the capability of every object to have a unique identifier (URL) using chip, sensor and communications technology to intercommunicate with its environment, other objects and living things (including humans) - and also to make autonomous decisions. This'll be hugely disruptive to us all.

The technology embracing Chinese government is now three years into building its Internet of Things programme which last year it reckoned to grow annually at 30% to become a £48bn market within China by 2013..

On the Internet of Things: IBM Tracks Your Pork From Farm to Fork. Starting with China

From singularityhub.com - January 27, 2012 3:49 PM

"IBM has set out to prove it can revolutionize the food industry with data, starting with China. Six industrial slaughterhouses and 100 markets in Shandong Province are part of a large scale test in tracking pork from farm to customer. Pigs are marked with ear tags containing unique barcodes, those same barcodes appear on the bins that carry their meat during processing, and on the packages for the pork placed in stores. In the near term, IBM hopes that knowing the history of every piece of meat will enable fast and super accurate recalls in case of contamination. Eventually, this kind of comprehensive tracking could help farmers keep pigs healthier, improve the quality of meat after it is cut, and even place a picture on the store package of the exact pig made into that pork product. Knowledge is power in this new take on the supply chain."

@ddrrnt - maybe China and the rest of us should quit eating pork.

Sensory Cities in China

From eyugoslavia.com - August 11, 2011 7:27 PM

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao’s proposal of the “Sensing China” strategy in August 2009 has triggered the development of “sensory cities” around the country. Along with the development of new-generation information technologies including the Internet of things and cloud computing, the development of sensory cities also focuses on the application of new technologies in key fields including urban management, environmental protection, health care and urban traffic.

Book review – Internet of Things – Global Technological and Societal Trends Smart Environments and Spaces to Green

From www.opengardensblog.futuretext.com - July 11, 2011 2:59 PM

This book is an excellent reference book and its core strength lies in providing a ‘on ramp’ for IOT and in multiple perspectives. IOT is complex and will develop differently in various geographies (for example China and EU). Each topic can be explored in detail but its nice to have a quick starting point for sectors(anyone who has seen IOT FP7 projects will agree that there is often too much documentation – rather than too little!)

China eyes next-generation internet

From ibnlive.in.com - December 31, 2011 5:13 PM

"Chinese companies are also encouraged to develop new technologies on the new IPv6 network, such as cloud computing, Internet of Things - uniquely identifiable objects (things) and their virtual representations in an Internet-like structure - and Three Network Convergence - an initiative that hopes to integrate telecommunications, TV and radio, and the Internet in the world's most populous country."

"The government will try out the system on a small scale by the end of 2013 before expanding it in 2014 and 2015."

The Internet of Things in China -- Beijing Review

From www.bjreview.com.cn - July 20, 2011 12:26 PM

China began developing a network to allow wireless devices to communicate, or "talk," with each other as early as 1999 under the auspices of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). At the time, the concept was known simply as a "sensor network."
At the UN World Summit on the Information Society held in Tunis in 2005, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) officially introduced the concept of the Internet of Things, which has also been adopted by China.
Today, China's progress in smart technology development far exceeds the scope the ITU defined in 2005.
"Unlike its involvement in the computer and Internet industries, China will have an international say when it comes to this field of the Internet of Things," said Liu Haitao, Director of the CAS Wuxi Institute of the Internet of Things.

China's Waterways Now RFID-Enabled

From www.readwriteweb.com - June 22, 2011 10:00 AM

China's inland and maritime rivers and canals are now part of the Internet of Things. The Chinese maritime authority has outfitted cargo and passenger ships with RFID chips and has placed RFID readers at strategic locations.
