Opportunities for the Internet of Things industry under the new crown epidemic

The bell for the Chinese New Year of the Gengzi Year in 2020 has not yet struck, and a plague centered on Wuhan has arrived unexpectedly. It not only spread rapidly throughout Hubei, but also quickly spread to other provinces across the country. "Under the shadow.
This makes people involuntarily think of the SARS epidemic in 2003, which spread to the whole country and became a disaster that the Chinese people remember deeply. But the other side of the SARS epidemic is that because countless people are forced to stay home, this has brought great opportunities to the developing Internet in China: JD.com, Taobao, Tencent and QQ game platforms were all born here. Special year.
“The SARS epidemic has had a surprisingly beneficial impact on China’s Internet industry,” wrote author Duncan Clark in “Alibaba: Jack Ma and His 102 Years of Dreams” published in 2016. “SARs confirms digital mobility. The effectiveness of technology and the Internet has therefore become a turning point for the rise of the Internet as a true mass platform in China."
History will always be surprisingly similar. The 2020 coronavirus epidemic also brings new opportunities for the development of the Internet of Things industry. The Internet of Things is an extension and expansion of the Internet. It is a huge network formed by combining various sensors, smart devices and the Internet. It is a ubiquitous network that connects all things and can realize the real-time interconnection of people, machines, and things.
During the 2020 new crown pneumonia epidemic, smart medical care first gave impetus to the rapid development of the Internet of Things industry. The smart medical products directly affected include the promotion of the popularization of smart devices such as oxygen generators, diagnosis and treatment equipment, and temperature and virus measurement.

In the field of intelligent transportation, unmanned delivery vehicles show a strong degree of matching with application scenarios. The transportation of urgently needed materials for the epidemic has attracted attention, reducing the possibility of epidemic spread and ensuring personnel safety. At the same time, it is worth paying attention to whether the demand for the driverless shared car scene causes capital to refocus.

In the new retail industry, the transformation of online sales models has brought new dividends to the sales industry. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, traffic control in various places is strict. Except for products necessary for daily life, other products are subject to the impact of logistics and distribution It cannot achieve instant delivery. At the same time, the zero-touch life model is also receiving more and more attention. The unmanned automatic fresh produce industry is also a new commercial opportunity in the siege.

Under the current plague, in order to cut off the spread of the plague, the isolation of people is very necessary. Internet companies can work together at home under certain conditions, but for many types of production companies, it is difficult to achieve safe production only by relying on the "Internet". Compared with the Internet, the Internet of Things is more closely connected with physical enterprises. The original factory-level monitoring of industrial automation is extended to the Internet and mobile Internet. A computer or mobile phone can remotely monitor the operation of the entire factory.

For the breeding and animal husbandry industry, with the Internet of Things remote monitoring equipment, you can remotely understand the breeding situation of each farmer in real time, and give instructions at any time to feed, ventilate or adjust the environmental temperature and humidity. Reducing personnel for production and implementation not only increases costs and efficiency, but also reduces the risk of personnel contracting viruses.
The application of smart home is mainly reflected in three aspects. First, the residential area can be installed with a face recognition system to open the door to avoid contact opening with card, key, and handle, and reduce the risk of virus infection. Second, an intelligent building intercom system and an intelligent voice call elevator system can be installed in the building, which can help residents to control the elevator equipment without contact and call the elevator, further reducing the risk of infection. Third, a voice control system can be installed in the households to turn on the lights and control the curtains after entering the door, eliminating the need to disinfect the switch. The lights can be turned on without hand washing and disinfection at the door.

Many application scenarios in these industries require cellular communication modules. Users do not need networking and maintenance. After product development is completed, local terminal devices can be connected to the Internet of Things. Miracle IOT (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. provides the development and supply of 2G, 4G, NB cellular modules, DTU, transparent transmission modules, eSIM patch cards and their management services based on eSIM technology. We look forward to working with users to seize opportunities in the IoT industry and create value together after the epidemic is over.
