element14 Announces Launch Of Second Global Survey Of IoT Developments

Running 4^th December, respondents can enter a prize draw for an iPad Pro, Drones and element14 Gift Cards

element14, the Development Distributor, announces the launch of the second, annual IoT Survey. The survey is an opportunity for engineers designing IoT and IIoT projects to give latest insights on the market and help shape the product range and technical resources offered by element14 to support this continually expanding and diversifying technology.

The survey is open from 18^th September to 4^th December 2019 and the results will be made available in February 2020. All participants in the survey can enter a prize draw with the opportunity to win prizes including an iPad pro and element14 giftcards.

The survey results will indicate the growth of existing and emerging IoT applications and reveal the technologies being deployed in IoT solutions. By enhancing its understanding of the market areas, design requirements and new trends, element14 stays ahead of customer needs and ensures they can support product designs now and in the future.

  

This is the second year element14 has run the survey and this time the inclusion of AI-related questions will show how the IoT industry is changing and embracing new technologies. The new questions will reveal where AI is being included in the IoT design process and if it is now being integrated in IoT products or solutions.

Results from the 2018 survey showed the key requirement to maximise the benefits of IoT was the need for common standards and policies. It also revealed the growing role of hardware in the design process, with engineers using a range of hardware platforms to accelerate development pace and shorten time-to-market including the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black.   Results also highlighted key application areas expected to grow in the next five years including home automation, industrial automation and control, and Artificial Intelligence.

element14 customers can find support and design resources including the IoT hub, AI pages and an AI configurator on its website. Next day delivery is available on all major development boards for IoT including Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Computer, Avnet SmartEdge IIoT Gateway, Microsoft Azure Sphere Starter kit, BeagleBone AI and Ultra96 V2.
