1.2.5 IoE and industries

For organisations to realise the potential value of the IoE, they must focus on the IoE-driven capabilities that most benefit their organisation. This can vary across industries.

Table 3 displays some of the potential uses of the IoE across multiple industries, including manufacturing, energy firms, and retail organisations.

IoE capabilities may include real-time, multidimensional data analysis, intergrated video collaboration, and remote tracking of physical assets. IoE capabilities may include integration of sensor data, ability to direct staff, and predictive analytics. IoE capabilities may include video, customer behaviour analysis, data analytics and visualisation, and location-based marketing on any device.

The IoE affects five core priorities of an organisation (Table 4).
