Another identity of Liu Haitao is the president of Wuxi Internet of Things Industry Research Institute and the first person of Internet of Things in China. As early as 1999, he began to study sensor network technology. After several years of research and development, he applied a new term-"sensor network" or "internet of things" to the public. He said, "I want you to know that China has not followed in the footsteps of foreign countries. This is our original innovative brand. "

Kevin, the Father of the World Internet of Things

1999, a lipstick was out of stock because of the gap between warehouse and sales information, so KevinAshton invented the concept of "Internet of Things" (IOT). He built a chip in the lipstick package, and cooperated with the newly-started wireless network sensing technology to let retailers know when to replenish the goods in time, and the shortage problem was solved.

Known as the "third wave" of the information world after computers and the Internet, the Internet of Things has gone through more than ten years. More and more enterprises are joining the wave of Internet of Things, and Haier is one of them. 165438+1On October 9th, Kevin Ashton, the "father of the Internet of Things", came to Haier to see how China enterprises carry out self-reform and management innovation in the Internet of Things era.

As the executive director of MIT and the founder of MIT Automatic Identification Center, Kevin Ashton pointed out that all kinds of sensors are combined with the Internet, and data are automatically input into servers and computers through sensors, which automatically capture information, analyze information and make decisions, thus changing the management mode, production mode and operation mode of the human world. This is the real Internet of Things.

In the real Internet of Things, the number of sensors will be dozens or even hundreds of times that of the global population. The arrival of 5G has solved the problems of the maximum number of terminals connected to the network and the time delay. In addition, IPV6 can distribute websites for every grain of sand on the earth, and the Internet of Things will really change the technological process and enter people's lives.
