IOTA: possible BOSCH usecases

IOTA: possible BOSCH usecases

As we have seen already, BOSCH Venture Capital has bought a “significant amount of IOTA tokens”. Although “a bigger unveil (one of the IOTA partnerships)” at the CES had been postponed, it was still interesting to watch BOSCH’s tweets from their press conference: This article tries to show why IOTA’s technology perfectly fits in the company’s plans.

Note: This has not been confirmed by the IOTA Foundation, it’s just my own thoughts so please consider it as such.

The overall situation

Bosch is one of the biggest and most advanced companies within the realm of vehicle parts suppliers and IoT:

Bosch ranked first in eight of nine key reputation attributes, making it the most admired automotive supplier worldwide. (link)

As the European Patent Organisation confirmed for 2016 (more recent numbers are not available at the time of writing), BOSCH has the most granted patents of all European patentees:




Bosch’s own focus these days is on the three S:




https://twitter.com/boschusa/status/950404229897883648

As one of the executives said at the CES in Las Vegas:

Of our nearly 400,000 associates worldwide, more than 20,000 are software engineers, nearly 20% of whom are working exclusively in IoT.

Interestingly enough, this seems a perfect match for IOTA’s capabilities (that’s why BOSCH invested in it, of course). Yet the question remains what BOSCH could do with?

Smart cities

Smart cities will be huge topic in the near future, BOSCH’s tweet says it all:





Las Vegas alone has announced a plan to invest $500m over the next seven years smart city infrastructure. In Bay area a beacon project has been launched which is supposed to save over $8m across 15 years simply by using 5000 smart street lights.

Bosch sensors are the eyes and ears of the connected city. In this case, its brain is our software.(Mike Mansuetti, Preseident of Bosch North America)

Furthermore it was stated that by 2020 all electronic products will be web-enabled. As you can imagine, this will result in a incredible amount of data that will be set free. IOTA’s scaling capabilities and speed enable it to be the base-layer of all these transactions of information. In the following, I shall give an overview of some usecases which could technically be done using IOTA infrastructure.

Climate monitoring

The idea here is to analyze the air quality, humidity and pollen concentration in order to improve the overall quality by putting measures into place if necessary. The product to gather the information is already working and has received the CES 2018 Innovation Award: The Climo.




Several of these Climo boxes were deployed in Las Vegas right before the CES in order to show the capabilities to the conference attendees.

Of course, the collected data can be “faked”, for example by positioning the boxes in a very “green/healthy” part of the city. However, the idea is to collect data from so many points that the overall number of information sources will prevent biased results. Moreover, you could also only focus on a specific area of the city in order to compare the data to other parts of the cirty.




IOTA’s network called “tangle” would be the link between all the sensors.

IOTA’s tangle would be the layer on which all of these information pieces are exchanged. To make this clearer: Imagine hundreds of Climos in Las Vegas sending their data every second to the IOTA market place = real time information. A sophisticated blockchain might be able to handle this, agreed. And such a blockchain might come up with a marketplace, agreed. But what if hundreds of thousands of residents buy the technology for their own roof because they want to make good money by selling the data to air-quality-improving-companies’ R&D branches? Right, that’s hundreds of Climos +hundreds of thousands homes sending their data every second over a public ledger! And this is why IOTA is needed because it offers the speed, the scalabilty and it has no transaction fees!

Collecting data about air quality can be done easily by companies, municpalities as well as by individuals. The incentive is to sell that data on a marketplace which in turn can be used by corporates to build products which will improve air quality again. It’s a win-win situation.

Community-based parking

Have you ever been in a city trying desperately to find a parking spot? BOSCH thought about this problem and their solution is simply brilliant:

Cars driving past a parking space recognize spaces via sensors, and connection hardware and drivers receive the parking space information in real-time. They are then quickly and easily navigated towards an empty space. (link)

Watch this short video to get the idea:





Again, this is a lot of data: Every car sensors possible parking spots, transmits the data in real-time and the exact same data needs to be transfered to all the cars looking for a parking spot. Of course, this could be perfectly combined with self-driving vehicles: You just hop off at the store where you want to go, the car finds itself a spot to wait (or is used for other purposes in the meantime) and comes back to you once you are done.

This sounds rather futuristic and utopian, but BOSCH has already equipped 1.5m cars with their IoT software. 20 US cities (such as Miami, LA and Boston) will offer this amazing technology in 2018!

Again, this is so much data be produced for one city alone — but if it is successful, the whole world will want this technology and that means an incredible amount of data which needs to be processed.

Since IOTA was tailored exactly for IoT cases like that, all the data could be transfered in real-time without any fees!

One could also imagine a usecase like this: Before starting your trip in the car you reserve a free parking spot for a certain amount and can be sure to get this one (e.g. right in front of your destination). The possibilities are endless!

Other usecases

I think you got the gist so far: It’s a lot of information which can be used (if processed in real-time) to help individuals have a better/smarter/… life. The following are just some ideas how the technology can help us and each of these usecases would perfectly be doable using IOTA’s tangle as a base-layer:













XDK

You might ask: Fine, nice tech — but BOSCH using IOTA would need a working product by now? You are right, and this product really exits: the XDK. It is a small developer kit which collects various data (for example from machines) for later analysis:








Dominik Schiener, Co-founder of IOTA, introduced how IOTA’s technology works on this kit:





So BOSCH is apparently really interested in IOTA’s capabilities.

These ideas are being made real as you are reading this. Of course, BOSCH is not the only company doing this. And since there are many others trying to make money establishing this kind of technology in countless industries: Yet neither consumers nor the companies want a different solution for each industry (imagine different standards among TVs and each producer would have to follow different sets of rules for different standards; we had this problem once between BluRay and HD-DVD; there could only be one…). So the question remains: What will be the standard protocol in IoT/Industry 4.0 to transfer and process all this data? In my opinion, there is only one candidate which offers everything that is needed:
•speed for real-time transactions
•scalability to handle millions and billions of transactions
•no costs in order to make it as attractive as possible
•the necessary connections with in the industries (partnerships, cooperations etc.)

And guess what? The only existing tech out there offering each of these is IOTA even if it only at a rather early stage of its development. The time of thousands of cryptocurrencies is ending(95% of which are just copycats of Bitcoin without real usecases) — 2018 will be the year of real-world adoption and nobody is better prepared for this than IOTA (for more information in this regard read my previous articles (more than 60,000 views within a week!).

Ich würde mal davon ausgehen, dass es sich eher um 4,8 Meilen, als um 4,8 MIOTA handelt. Zumal die Geschwindigkeit auf dem Tacho als Meilen pro Stunde (mph) angegeben ist... Wink

Ich befürchte, Du hast recht, es ist die Distanz zum Parkplatz, aber 86 km/h in der Stadt, also auch in Las Vegas ist schon sportlich...

Wenn man genau hinschaut, kann man auf dem Armaturenbrett des "Autos" recht weit unten IOTA entdecken. Ist wohl ein kleiner Vorbericht für die anstehende CES: https://www.bosch.com/explore-and-experience/smart-city-challenges/

Ich hoffe mal, dass die 4.8 Mi nicht für 10 Minuten parken bezahlt werden mussten, das sind ja schon fast so hohe Gebühren wie bei uns  Grin 1,80 EUR /h wohlgemerkt auf der Straße  Grin Grin Grin

Powerful answer from the Co-Founder of IOTA to the question, if they want to change their marketing strategy.

https://i.redd.it/a0tqbfgfno801.png

Super Statment von Dom, schön ist, dass der IOTA Kurs sich die letzten Wochen stabil gehalten hat (nach der "kleinen" vorangegangenen Kursexplosion), und das nach dem Statment nicht gleich gedumpt wurde, das zeigt die Qualität des Projekts und Einstellung der "Großinvestoren".

Wichtig für vom Reclaim Betroffene:

Quote from: Dominik Schiener
For those who are part of the reclaim process, and have reclaimed twice to the same address, please *do not send funds from your address already!*. We are unable to send you your other claims (for obvious reasons). Keep that in mind.

Sieht so aus als würden die Auszahlungen aufsteigend erfolgen. Der niedrigste Claim zuerst und der höchste zuletzt. Noch sind wir im Mi Bereich, dass kann dann noch dauern Cheesy Aber wenigstens ein Fortschritt. Ob allerdings wie angekündigt alles bis zum 10. Januar zurückgeschickt wird, wage ich bei dem Tempo mal zu bezweifeln.

Reading up on the insane amounts of tokens that some of the founders of other projects reserved for themselves, just makes me want to remind everyone again of the fact that in IOTA, none of the Founders got tokens "assigned" to them. Everyone had to buy in to even get tokens...

100% of the tokens were released during the TGE. The Foundation, and the Founders, received no pre-allocated tokens. Everyone had to buy in, to get a stake in the project.

"IOTA partners with ITIC to Build A Global Alliance of Smart Mobility Testbeds"

Aus dem Slack und der Kurs bewegt sich gleich mit  Grin - Genaueres ist auf Twitter Smiley

Hier der zugehörige blog-post: https://blog.iota.org/iota-partners-with-itic-e83f228a11d9

Neuer Dev wurde auch eingestellt: https://blog.iota.org/welcome-oliver-mulherin-to-the-iota-foundation-a09918bb47f8

Sonntag gibts ein AMA mit dem ganzen Team auf reddit, falls jemand Fragen hat (Fragen zu Q werden nicht beantwortet): https://twitter.com/iotatoken/status/948936033625890816

Etwas eigenwürdig, dass der Kurs kaum darauf reagiert, vor 24h war der Kurs höher als JETZT, trotz Erhöhung des Marktetcaps.  Huh So ganz verstehe ich das nicht, jedoch war es auch Anfangs Dez. so, dass der Kurs erst nach 2 - 3 Tagen angesprungen ist.. Habe vor 5h schon mal gekauft, denke ich nutze die Gelgenheit bei 3,93$ noch einmal.. notfalls hodln, denke aber schon das etwas gehen wird
