      1. DESCRIPTION:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Sensoan Oy sells and develops IoT solutions for business customers. Sensoan developed solutions are used in various industries e.g. electric power distribution, power electronics, buildings,\u00a0 manufacturing, logistics and even in elderly care. Common for the use cases is the need to know what is ongoing at the (remote) premises and act based on that data. This can lead to considerable savings when e.g. maintenance at remote locations can be based on actual need instead of just relying on calendar based actions.<\/p>\n

        The solutions typically comprise of physical sensor devices with transmitting capabilities, cloud backend data processing and\u00a0 data visualization on web UI or mobile app. Sensoan can deliver the complete end-to-end solution but can also provide just the\u00a0 sensor solution or integrate it into an existing backend system. Besides the complete solution, key benefits Sensoan can offer are purpose optimized design of the sensors, long operating time for battery powered devices and state-of-the-art wireless connectivity.<\/p>\n

        Sensoan was founded in 2016 by a team of engineers\u00a0 with extensive experience in mobile device development. Since then Sensoan has delivered numerous tailored projects where customer requirements and satisfaction have always been in focus. In the recent surveys customers have especially appreciated our dedication and willingness to go the extra mile to solve their problems.<\/p>\n

        In the future Sensoan wants to build on the cumulative know-how in wireless device and cloud services development, so that it would be easier for more and more companies and businesses to join the IoT and digitalization movement.<\/p>\n

        1. CHALLENGE:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The Internet of Things (IoT) has become an enormous part of how we live, work, and communicate together. Web-empowered gadgets are transforming our reality. From the benefits that IoT offers we can mention two examples:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Reductions of operational costs. For example maintenance costs can be reduced with remote monitoring from scheduled maintenance to\u00a0 need-based maintenance. It means problems can be detected on-the-fly\u00a0 and can be fixed before they create a bigger impact in the business. Consequently it is possible to keep equipment and infrastructure functioning with efficiency.<\/li>\n
          2. Access to critical information in real time. While monitoring remotely with IoT, it is possible to have access to certain information, which can\u2019t be perceived through human senses and have an impact in different types of business and\u00a0 industries.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            From the engineering and computer science perspective the IoT system consists of four distinct architectural elements: devices, gateways, cloud and apps. All these elements require special skills in their development. Furthermore experts should assure that the ecosystems are secure addressing aspects such as AI attacks, cloud attacks, lack of logging, data security and privacy issues. Consequently, today, there is not a standard IoT solution.<\/p>\n

            Despite the benefits of IoT for industry, its adoption is slow because the solutions need to be tailored. Nowadays, consumer perception has an important role in the decision to adopt services involving IoT. If businesses and consumers do not understand how their gadgets stay connected, how exactly their information is being used, and how it will benefit them, then consumers will not adopt IoT.<\/p>\n

            A hypothesis for this seminar session is: if we have the technical capabilities to solve all the vulnerabilities of an IoT system, then an important question to reflect upon is the added value that current industries gain if they embrace IoT. As current industries are a wide domain to narrow it down, we will focus on two types of industries: mobility and energy.\u00a0 Hence our reflections on this seminar session will focus on: What is the added value that\u00a0 IoT offers to mobility and energy industries? How does this added value benefit the mobility and energy industries?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

                  1. PRE-ASSIGNMENT
                    \n<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    The deadline of this pre-assignment is Thursday April 28th at 4pm.\u00a0 To prepare ourselves for this seminar session let\u2019s first relate to the context of this session.<\/p>\n

                    Task 1.Understand IoT in from a\u00a0 Business to Business (B2B) perspective\u00a0<\/b>Probably all of us have heard about IoT, and our understanding of IoT might vary from deep knowledge to just hearing about the term. In this first task we want to assure that all of the participants have an understanding of IoT and how it is utilized in B2B contexts from your academic background. Hence, for this task explore literature from your academic background about IoT in a B2B context. Include a reference of the source you utilize to gain an understanding about IoT.<\/p>\n

                    Task 2. Create a B2B product concept in the area of Mobility or Energy. <\/b>From the previous task, you already have an understanding about IoT in B2B context. Now we start to ideate for this particular session by following five steps.<\/p>\n
