TE连接与物联网

　　TE连接与物联网

　　蒸汽机、大规模生产和互联网技术给商业带来了巨大的革命。今天，我们正处于所谓的第四次工业革命之中--物理事物与互联网的融合：物联网。

　　除了炒作

　　物联网。工业互联网。互联网的一切。指的物理物质的融合与互联网的数字世界的术语是不同的，从北美洲到欧洲到亚洲。然而，从本质上讲，它们都是同一件事：通过将汽车、衣服、建筑和工厂制造聪明，创造经济价值的普遍机会。

　　物联网是指嵌入电子、软件和传感器的物理对象或事物的网络。凭借连接，这些东西创造了更大的价值和服务，通过捕获和交换数据与它的用户和/或其他连接的设备。

　　Experts predict significant growth of things connected via networks， and enormous new value generated by virtue of those connections. Twenty-five billion objects will be linked together via the Internet of Things （IoT） by 2020 says Gartner Group1. IDC predicts the global IoT market will grow to $1.7 trillion by 20202. McKinsey Global Institute puts the value of IoT in business-to-business settings like smart factories at $3.9 trillion by 20253.

　　While these projections vary in precision， given TE Connectivity experience with engineers worldwide， we expect the growth of connected things within the next five to ten years to be very significant. Connecting billions of devices brings a huge opportunity for our customers to grow their businesses， drive innovation， and remain competitive. Getting things to communicate with us， and to each other， creates a new basis of competition for TE customers： unique products， optimized manufacturing， and greater efficiency.
