Internet of Things (IOT)
More than the sum of the silos
Modern technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, cloud, artificial intelligence and block chain are frequently viewed as independent entities. However, in combination the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts or in this case the sum of its silos. Collectively, they comprise the basis for infinite possibilities in the area […]
One digital twin counts for the pair
Twins have no trouble understanding one another. A single glance, a gesture or a single word is generally sufficient. Pain, feelings and thoughts are immediately shared in real time. It is no accident that a twin is a single entity. We see the same in the world of technology, in which the physical and virtual […]
Future of the Fourth Industrial Revolution will be powered by the Cloud
It is no longer science fiction – the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, is already upon us. A convergence of new technologies including robotics, AI, 3D printing and the IoT, all powered by the cloud and edge computing, is transforming the way we do business. Much the way the Internet, mobile and the PC […]
Intelligent real estate
The transformation in the real estate sector extends much further than greater sustainability and ease of use. In future, the most important change will be that buildings will be used for multiple purposes and multiple users. It is a development that is driven by increasing scarcity, intelligent technology and putting the emphasis on the human […]
Claim your place in the interconnected world
More and more the world is becoming more and more one big cloud of interconnections. Sensors, people, cars, devices and even complete infrastructures are being connected to one another at an ever-increasing rate. IoT in combination with artificial intelligence keeps a new world running: the Instrumented Planet. This the lesson of IBM’s Research Technology Vision, […]
IBM Think 2018 – The Netherlands attract attention in Las Vegas
There was quite a sensation at the recent IBM Think 2018-Congress in Las Vegas. Dutch representatives of large Dutch organisations including the Port of Rotterdam and Schiphol Airport were presented there as stars. Not only with photos and quotes on the gigantic billboards on The Strip, the most important thoroughfare of America’s gambling capital, but […]
Port of Rotterdam on Mars!
Thanks to modern technology, Rotterdam can continue to be the world’s safest, most efficient and most sustainable harbor over the long term. In order to be able to guarantee social and economic value, we regularly attempt to present an image of both the near and distant future. During the recent IBM Think 2018 Conference […]
IoT – Those who make the connections, persist
The Internet of Things (IoT) is playing an increasingly important role in the use and management of critical infrastructures such as harbors, roadways and bridges, telecom, water and power supplies, airports and railway. Moreover, these infrastructures are becoming increasingly inter-related. A good example is the Port of Rotterdam, where sensor data is used to improve […]
IoT gives asset management a new boost
Forget all the classic opinions regarding enterprise asset management (EAM). Links to new technological possibilities such as the IoT open up a world of new possibilities. This provides a real-time, mobile component when managing the life cycle of business resources and work processes. This development has not gone unnoticed. With IBM Maximo, we were recently […]
