Any company can exploit IoT capabilities to optimize the use of resources, business processes, product quality. Moreover, Enterprises can then create innovative business models and competitive ‘pay per use’ or hybrid models for their industrial products, and additional services developed using ‘things information’. By creating its own Internet of Things Enterprises can get full and continuous information from devices, machines and systems, enable control and interactions, and use these features in new or existing business applications. This is why in Alleantia they talk about the Internet Of Own Things (IOOT), that every company must implement for supporting its specific business.
