IOT vs IOE

• IOT - Internet of things
• IOE - Internet of everything

Well, the difference is the intelligent connection.

IOT

IoT is mostly about physical devices and objects communicating with each other

IoT has been limited to only machines thus achieving Machine to Machine Communication.

IOE

IoE is the intelligent connection of people, processes, data, and things that will be transforming our world in such a way that there will be billions of connected devices having sensors to detect, measure and access their status all of which will be connected over a public or private network built over standard protocols like TCP/IP.

Health Fitness bands, Coffee pots, Marine Container’s all become a Node in an intelligent network communicating with each other.

The IOE will be affected by

• People

People will be connected to the internet in more relevant ways and will be generating data and interacting with devices not only through Mobile’s/Tablet’s, PC’s and Social networks but also through Sensors placed on human skins or sewn into clothing which will provide a person’s vital signs.

• Things

Things and physical items such as sensors, industry devices, consumer products, enterprise assets will be connected to the internet or to each other, also fetching information from its surroundings, will be more context-aware, more cognitive, more intelligent, often so-called the internet of things.

• Data

Rather than simply collecting Raw data, these connected devices will be sending higher level, more processed data back to respective servers for faster evaluation or more intelligent decision making.

• Process

With the equivalent to the IOE process, the right information will be delivered to the right person at the right time in an appropriate way.
