and connectivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service
= every object becomes ‘smart’, gathers and shares information with each other and
the cloud
things to be connected to the internet by 2020
• 25 Billion (source: Gartner)
• 50 Billion (source: Cisco)
• 200 Billion (source: Intel)
Printed Electronics – 27/04/2016 – Wim. Christiaens@quad-ind.com
IoT
 Applications are everywhere
 Few examples:
