Monetizing The Internet Of Things: A Convenient How Not To Guide

Paul R Brody Prepared for Semicon West July 2015

The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed.

We started making devices digital because they’re cheaper that way

The result was a world of smart things that weren’t especially clever at all

Things have kept getting smarter, but we don’t seem to be very happy with how they’re turning out.

➡ Lots of smart appliances now available

➡ Very few stand-out success stories

Three substantial problems have delayed the arrival of a more useful Internet of Things

6

Failing the jobs to be done test

No meaningful ROI

No credible level of security or privacy

The biggest failure in the Internet has been the failure to focus and improve upon the “job to be done” by the device

ROI is important, and costs are too high while returns are far too low to justify replacing existing capital equipment

reduce average truck rolls total to 1.0/repair • $25 tag cost on BOM, 10% annual ROI

Energy • $250 for a smart thermostat at home • Average of $141/year in savings reported for

Nest thermostat users • 56% annual ROI on average

As for security and privacy: it’s a disaster and there are no participants left who have any credibility in this space

•Security is an after-thought in most smart product design today

•The foundations of many of these designs are dated to begin with

•Feature bloat adds bugs and security risks.

Show me the money.

Two technological revolutions are emerging that will reshape how we design and build smart devices

11

The Block Chain (underlying technology for BitCoin):

Cheap system-on-chip computers designed for Android Phones:

The first transformation in computing involves hardware.

It’s now cheaper to make things smart than it is to make them stupid.

13

Powerful System on Chip costs are dropping so quickly, they are converging with traditional embedded chip costs:

Non-Recurring Engineering Cost for Customized Embedded Chips

Shift to SOC with software customization here

Illustrative: As SOCs drop in price, customization will shift to software, not hardware

At higher end of the market, this shift has already started:

These high powered SOC chips can run the full Block-Chain stack including doing transaction processing (mining).

• Boots OS X Core when plugged in

• Conducts software conversion of MPEG to HDMI in real time

By 2020, billions of ordinary devices will in fact have far more computing power on them than is actually necessary

Alongside the revolution in hardware, a revolution in software is brewing at the same time: BitCoin

BitCoin is the re-invention of the most basic workload in the world of modern computing: transaction processing.

The Block Chain

CICS in 1966

As a transaction processing engines go, the BlockChain is a terrible design and horribly inefficient.

17

Slow Redundant Wasteful

Why use the Block Chain? In a word: trust. You don’t need it.

18

The core functionality of BitCoin, known as the BlockChain is now being re-purposed into all kinds of applications.

There are two key take-aways from the intersection of these technologies

21

1 No business case is required to make devices smart

2 The Cloud applications required to integrate & manage these devices are, if properly architected, free

Smart devices will connect assets to marketplaces and help us make better use of what we’ve already got.

The rise of IoT will very likely upset the balance in the semiconductor industry

Era of embedded computing is over.

The new data center is everywhere.

Security through transparency.

Entirely new customer base.

Life cycles are going to get longer.
