TRENDING: IoT’s Big Security Fail | PYMNTS.com
Over the next five years, some 40 billion connected devices are expected to be installed by consumers and businesses around the world. This rapid proliferation of Intelligence of Things (IoT) devices calls for robust infrastructure that can securely accommodate the upsurge of network traffic.
Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (HBC), meanwhile, recently became one of the latest companies to embrace the potential of IoT by installing 300,000 connected Atos coolers, in stores by the end of the year. The move is aimed at giving Coca-Cola HBC new insight into data regarding cooler stock levels, cooler and product placement, and more — and will also enable the company to interact with nearby customers in real time through mobile apps.
