Flying Vehicles and Aerial Pathways

The Transportation Industry is going through a paradigm shift with the advent of the Urban Air Transportation. Fast forwarding to a future of on-demand Flying Vehicles or the Autonomous Vehicles which are revolutionising the vision of Futuristic cars a dream come true. The automakers and aviation companies have announced their successful testing of their propulsion system for its single or multi-passenger "electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL)." Airbus has designed a prototype to build an end-to-end flight demonstrator of the Craft or CityAirbus concept called 'Pop Up' a hybrid car for both land and air transportation. However, the crafts will not be autonomous in the beginning. They will be operated manually for the public to get comfortable with the flying [...]

Internet of Things (IoT) & Financial Services Industry (FSI) Introduction

Gartner forecasts that, on a worldwide basis, “endpoints of the Internet of Things will grow at a 32.5% CAGR from 2013 to 2020, reaching an installed base of 25.0 billion units.” However, with the deployment of 25 billion new endpoints, the Deloitte analysis report suggests that as many as one-quarter of sensors deployed in 2013 could be of use to FSIs, rising to one-third in 2015 and then to about 50% by 2020.IoT has been the buzz word in the minds of everyone in the Industry and especially that of the Financial Services Industry too. However, it is not hard enough to imagine IoT being the major disruptors within the Financial Services Industry which heavily relies on the collection of [...]

Biometrics for Internet of Things (IoT)

Internet of Things (IoT) is a disruptive technology which is poised to take on the global market through digital transformation. Recently, Apple unveiled its iconic iPhone X calling it to be the future of the "Smart Phone" with its new feature called 'Face ID' to unlock the phone without a home button. Apparently, the Face ID uses the infrared system to scan users face, to unlock the new iPhone X which is quite concerning as the phone uses unimodal biometric authentication system. The serious spoof I see here in having a unimodal authentication system is that, in today's day and age, the phone has become an integral part or the single 'thing or device' which acts to be a lifeline [...]

Intranet of Things

According to Wikipedia, an Intranet is a private network accessible only to an organisation's staff. The organisation-wide intranet refers to the internal IT system which has all the company related information and services that would not be available from the internet to the public. It constitutes for company's internal communication and collaboration. Intranet of Things is a term coined by Airbus' Carlo Nizam, which refers to connecting the organisation's assets. Intranet of things is an alternative model to Internet of Things, and both use the same kind of technologies and systems limiting the accessibility of connected things only to the virtual private network (VPN) or to the corporate network. This concept, however, is not new and has already been proposed [...]

Internet of Things (IoT) and Women’s Healthcare

Given this growing market segment, you’d expect the industry to focus their attention on women, but it hasn’t happened yet. Let me highlight the urgent need for doing this. According to Wikipedia, Women's health refers to the health of women, which differs from that of men in many unique ways. Women's health is an example of population health, where health is defined by the World Health Organization as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" inclusive of women's reproductive health. A woman's health is not influenced just by her biology, but also by other conditions such as poverty, employment, family responsibilities, and much more. A woman's ability to reproduce [...]

BMW – Internet of Things (IoT) Driven

Tuesday, February 28th, 2017 was one of the special days in my life which I will always cherish. I had the privilege of a plant tour and experience behind the scenes of automobile manufacturing processes. The experience is indescribable, and my excitement knew no bounds in witnessing the making of my ‘Dream Car’ at their corporate headquarters, home of BMW in Munich. BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke) was founded by Franz Josef Popp in 1916 as an aircraft engine company which eventually evolved to motorcycles to car manufacturers in the Bavaria region. In 2016 BMW marked its Centenary celebrations with a vision to reshape the automobile revolution in its next 100 years of journey in the digital transformation of the manufacturing [...]
