Title & Summary
Unlocking Intelligence in the Grid of Things;
Drivers for the 3rd Industrial Revolution
My theme meshes three buzz words that you might have come across a lot
recently: Internet of things, big data and the 3rd industrial revolution.

Background – Sam Bose & IntelliSense.io
We started our life 2.5 years back as an infrastructure monitoring company. We
saw the upcoming trend of sensors, connectivity and focussed on the real world
traditional industries like assembly plants, water treatment plants among others. 	
  
What is the 3rd Industrial Revolution?
“Internet technology and renewable energies are beginning to merge to create
a new infrastructure for a Third Industrial Revolution (TIR) that will change the
way power is distributed in the 21st century.”

What is driving the 3rd Industrial Revolution?
There are many different factors driving the 3rd Industrial Revolution: we have
identified two below that we believe are having a material impact on countries and
industries

The 3rd Industrial Revolution – How and When?
The EU is expected to draw one-third
of its electricity from green sources
by 2020
The projections are that we will
arrive to a sustainable post
carbon era by mid century.

Current Situation – Industrial Facts
Industrial Processes are highly
energy intensive and currently
account for one-third of global
energy use. Around 70% of this
energy is supplied by fossil
fuels, and CO2 emissions from
industry make up 40% of total
CO2 emissions worldwide

Current Situation – Common Business Problems
•  Lack of system view
•  Optimisation is preferred to Capex
upgrade for Energy Efficiency
projects	
  
•  Prediction of future events still
involves manual input and
judgement
•  Lead time for taking corrective
actions is long

Current Situation – Country leading the way?
“The transition to the Third Industrial Revolution will require a wholesale
reconfiguration of the entire economic infrastructure of each country, creating
millions of jobs and countless new goods and services.”	
  
Germany is highlighted to be leading the way into the new economic era - John
Freeland, leading commentators on this subject.
