Connected Sensing for Productivity Leap with IoT (Energy Harvesting and Storage Europe 2015)

Industrial internet is a part of through-digitalization, a disruption transforming businesses and society and boosting productivity in global scope. VTT's strategic program Productivity Leap with IoT targets to connect real life objects to business processes, enabling real time data for decision making and actionable intelligence for improved productivity. This presentation focuses to present research high-lights of connected sensing including Zero Power Sensor concept, hardware encryption of sensitive sensor nodes, critical condition communication solutions for unmanned vehicles and solutions for lifecycle management of industrial internet connected sensors and instruments.
