Internet of Things or Smarter Things?

IOT WORLD VIEW - Internet of Things - News - Key Insights - Wearables | Do we need Internet of Things or Smarter Things?:

Will it be possible to make smarter decisions, in real time, with real time information....without any human interaction? SAP President Steve Lucas delivered a keynote at the Internet of Things World Forum, and he thinks that this is possible.

He showed a logistics/replenishment example, where a driver has to load vending machines with products. The vending machines, with their sensors, determine what they need and share it with the other vending machines. The network then make the decision of what is the optimal route for the driver, and changes the old route. The driver just follows the new instructions.




Interesting presentation... SAP helping automate decision making in complex systems. "Smart" everything, being even "smarter" by being connected, to increase profit from not-so-smart (or healthy) products...
Doable and starting to be done...
