The Internet changed our lives. Nowadays many of our functions, tasks, appointments, even business, depend heavily on this platform. It is clear that this technology has led us to progress, that we are already much better informed, that we can control what we want to see, we can even buy almost anything we want.
But the internet is not "only" that, this technology continues to advance and make available to the user different alternatives, such as cloud storage, a concept that every day gains more followers and that fought against doubts in security to now be an important reference.
Now the internet is taking a new step towards revolution: it is the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) that means allowing everyday objects to also be connected; and this is when our air conditioning, refrigeration and automation industry comes into play, because this is a trend that must be referenced and to which we must adapt little by little.
Moving from having connected users to connected objects is an important step, especially because it offers the possibility of making products much more dynamic and will greatly improve their management. It will be an attractive and functional added value.
Today many companies in our sector have already taken the step forward and have created applications for cell phones or tablets to manage computers from anywhere in the world. In the field of automation, this will improve the identification of faults, integrate all technologies and make life easier for the user.
The invitation is not to be left behind in this trend, which, according to the consulting firm Gartner, 6.4 billion connected things will be in use globally in 2016, that is, 30% more compared to 2015, and will reach 20.8 billion in 2020. The consultancy also predicts that in 2016 5.5 million new things will be connected daily.
