IoT Product Design and Development

IoT Product Design and Development Learn to incorporate IoT products into the process of building a product Internet of Things (or IoT) is currently one of the central building blocks of industry. It is the driving technology of the connected world—be it smart cars, smart homes, smart factories, or smart cities. Industrial IoT (IIoT) is one of the most impactful areas of the global market, where it has fundamentally altered industries as varied as manufacturing, electronics, automotive, consumer goods, healthcare, and process industries like oil and gas, among others. As such, it is essential that engineers working in these fields improve their IoT knowledge to keep pace with this growing demand. IoT Product Design and Development offers an accessible entry point to the methods, techniques, and best practices necessary to add IoT onto an existing product or to build new IoT products wholesale. To accomplish this, the volume examines product design requirements for industrial, business, and consumer applications. Relying on real-world examples, the book provides a blueprint of the creation process, including tips on best practices and common pitfalls. Readers will thereby gain the tools to bring IoT to specific industries and job functions. IoT Product Design and Development readers will also find: Concise content that is targeted to what practitioners need to know without the academic jargon In-depth case studies related to power distribution systems, airports, and consumer home products Diagrams and tables used liberally to present concepts in a visual way Additional sidebar examples are included throughout the book to highlight key issues like IoT security and product lifecycle IoT Product Design and Development is a useful reference for professional mechanical, electrical, and industrial engineers, as well as IoT product managers, business leads, software and hardware professionals, and data professionals.
