Connecting with Fire
At the recent fourth IoT World Congress (IOTSWC) in Barcelona, there were many large manufacturers present showing off what they can do with technology. There will be more coverage on a later blog, but a few solutions in the IoT automotive space deserve to be noted here. There was a small, unsuspecting go-kart and a large, dominating firetruck at the event, neither of which you’d typically find at an expo. However, that’s what I’ve come to expect at the IOTSWC: solutions, not norms.
The make-everything-smart trend is getting out of hand. Approaching a small go-kart at the event, one might suspect a conversation around an SME race, such as Baja or Formula One. Instead there was a conversation about Morse Code and smart headlights. Whoever thought a series of dashes and dots would still be relevant today? well, it’s not that simple.
