Now, all kinds of service around the Internet of things, a single device will no longer be the focus, appeared on the market a lot of support iot devices, to the transformation of all things connected trend is increasingly obvious. It is predicted that brought by the technology of Internet of things industry value is more than 30 times that of the Internet technology, will form the level of communication service will reach one trillion yuan, in 2020, access to the Internet of things of the world's terminal equipment will reach more than 50 billion.

To seize opportunities IOT era, ADI with 50 years of accumulation and important acquisitions, currently has a variety of sensors, meter, and interpret low-power sensor data processing technology, has already started to take off everything connected, for the Internet of things need the most fundamental, most the core technology. ADI has been based on analog and digital world, and now faces a big outbreak of new opportunity: this all things connected with IoT revolution, starting from the ubiquitous sensors, from the sensor to the cloud, to promote the semiconductor industry's third big wave.

ADI, President and chief executive Vincent Roche, points out that from the sensor to the interpretation, algorithm, data processing, data analysis to the clouds, can provide a full range of system solutions to the user, it is unique, it is important advantage ADI company accumulated in 50 years.

Semiconductor industry is the first wave of 1960 s, driven by the mainframe, later evolved into the clouds in the big data; The second wave was introduced in the 1990 s by the PC, until today's smart phones and other mobile terminal; Third wave will be driven by ubiquitous sensors, the sensor will have intelligence analysis, called Deep sensing.

This Vincent Roche, points out that the IoT will end up with is active, advance response in advance, rather than a post-processing. In this way can we really change human's life and work, such as health, safety, etc. In the interpretation and analysis of the intelligent sensor data, exactly is who should assume, the industry has two kinds of voice:

First, that will all data to the cloud, done by the cloud processing;

Second, let become intelligent sensor, and measurement analysis and data interpretation integration, most of the data analysis in the local, don't put vast amounts of data to the cloud, and come back again.

All data to the cloud, not only waste of bandwidth and delay is big, only in local sensor reading, analysis and processing, can realize real-time decision, let us from passive response to active prevention.

Graph: IoT need five key links

For IoT this huge, dispersed market. Vincent Roche, said about health is the most promising applications, this would be a huge market, and will produce a lot of technology innovation and application. Secondly, watch the intelligent factory, will be assigned to the production process of the existing technologies, improve the production efficiency, achieve real-time response and early prevention, true safety production. In addition, the Internet of things look good, the third largest market is the smart city, which can make people's life more efficient and safer. All in all, IoT is all around people rather than things.

Safe and reliable, strong, accurate information is the key of IoT, and that's technology and the characteristics of the ADI has been the focus on the most good at. In ADI system solutions, it will be safe in every node, at present there are few manufacturers solve the security problem in dealing with data acquisition, and ADI done to ensure the safety of every node. Vincent Roche said: "ADI not only has the hardware such as sensor, meter, low power consumption microprocessor, more important is that we have read all kinds of precise algorithm and software applications. The sensor at the back of the algorithm and the software is the most important thing." When there is no differentiation hardware, software and algorithm can achieve the biggest differentiation, ADI has been to strengthen the construction of software and algorithm team, recruited a lot of excellent software and algorithm engineer, including super outstanding students from MIT.

In terms of acquisition, in addition to the acquisition of companies MIT software and algorithm of Lyric, and acquisition of Europe's leading Sensor, the Snap Sensor, the company's patented technology has greatly improved the existing optical sensors, can be in poor lighting conditions to ensure that the image detection accuracy, whether in the detection, recognition and instructive use occasions, has improved the reliability and precision of the detection. In addition, most of the image management tasks performed by sensors, thus it can be used reasonable cost, lower power consumption of the processor, the SNAP Sensor with advanced optical technology and professional knowledge, visual software and algorithm is able to continuously for the user to open new possibilities of various Internet application such as building automation, building security, urban management, transportation, etc.

Finally, Vincent Roche stressed that ADI and industry partners in IoT brought some very popular in the field of innovation, and always firmly the Internet of things is the key for "people", not for "content", is that the end user bring value as the core, not for innovation and innovation, always in the service of the life of people, the environment, health and efficiency.
