In recent years, the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to the emergence of numerous industry leaders in this field, with smart manufacturing becoming a central focus of global industrial transformation. As we look back at 2017, what was the state of IoT development in the United States? What advancements were made in virtual reality (VR)? This article explores the progress and innovations in big data, IoT, and VR within the U.S. during that year.
With the rise of a new technological revolution and industrial transformation, smart manufacturing is increasingly shaping the future of global production. Major countries are investing heavily in smart manufacturing strategies to gain a competitive edge. To provide insights into this trend, this series titled "2017 Smart Manufacturing World Tour" highlights key developments across major smart manufacturing regions. Having previously covered Australia, we now turn our attention to the U.S., where significant strides were made in the smart manufacturing sector.
The U.S. has been at the forefront of innovation in big data, IoT, and VR. IBM, for instance, made notable moves in 2017 by acquiring Truven Health Analytics for $2.6 billion, expanding its capabilities in health data analysis. Additionally, IBM was selected by the U.S. Army to build and manage its data center, showcasing its leadership in cloud infrastructure. Meanwhile, Didi Travel launched its American Research Institute in Silicon Valley, focusing on big data security and smart driving technologies.
In the realm of IoT, Verizon and AT&T made significant progress by launching nationwide LTE Cat-M1 networks, enhancing connectivity for smart devices. Startups like Bext360 also leveraged IoT, AI, and blockchain to revolutionize the coffee supply chain. IBM, too, played a key role by supporting companies like Sears Home Services and Golden State Foods through its Watson IoT platform.
Regarding VR, the U.S. saw growing applications in medical training and elderly care. AiSolve acquired Clay Park VR to enhance virtual training solutions, while Maplewood Nursing Home introduced VR systems to improve senior well-being and engagement.
Overall, 2017 marked a pivotal year for the U.S. in the fields of big data, IoT, and VR, with established giants and emerging startups both making meaningful contributions. The focus on healthcare, education, and efficiency reflected the evolving landscape of smart technology.
