GigaOM - Shocker: GE sees huge upside for internet of industrial things - by Barb Darrow of GigaOM.
The industrial internet is the manufacturing giant's take on the “internet of things” in which myriad devices — from smartphones to sensors in everything from wrist bands to sensors in everything from wrist bands to traffic cameras — communicate with each other without requiring human intervention.

In Wired, Clive Thompson talks about how the Internet of Things -- the long-prophesied phenomenon of everyday devices talking to one another—and us—online, has created new behaviors and efficiencies.
After the Fukushima nuclear disaster, many Japanese worried that the government wasn’t providing adequate data on areas outside the evacuation zone. So some hackers designed customized Geiger counters that automatically updated radioactivity levels on an online map. Soon there were more than 300 jury-rigged all over the country, so the public could see real-time radiation levels. “It was the largest nongovernmental radiation-monitoring network in Japan,” says Chris “Akiba” Wang, one of the hackers.
Cooking Hacks, the open source hardware division of Libelium, designed and manufactured the radiation sensor board for Arduino and sent a number of them to Japan to the Tokyo Hackerspace and other working groups, to help citizens measure radiation levels autonomously.

One of our favourite sensor companies had a big announcement last week/ Wireless sensor networks platform provider Libelium has launched Waspmote Plug & Sense! a new line of Libelium encapsulated wireless sensor devices allowing system integrators to implement scalable, modular wireless sensor networks and reduce installation time from days to hours. “We have reduced the complexity of installation with a solution that provides low-cost maintenance and a high degree of scalability, ensuring the shortest time to market for system integrators and end users.” Waspmote Plug & Sense! models are pre-configured to create such widely applicable services as Smart Cities, Smart Parking, Smart Agriculture, Air Quality, Smart Security, Ambient Control and, Radiation Control, out of the box. Unlike other platforms, Waspmote Plug & Sense! sensor nodes are ready for deployment anywhere in the world, in terms of available radio frequencies (2.4GHz, 868/900Mhz) and certification (CE, FCC, IC). Plug & Sense are set to send information to Meshlium, the sensor gateway that uploads data to the Cloud, making the data accessible from anywhere and easy to integrate into third-party applications.
