Why LED Internet applications have taken off?

Back in 2016 LED industry key, I think things should be ranked in the search rankings of the top LED, many friends in the industry is also the most hot love asked a brother, that is: things will come? "And" LED networking stocks have?"

Usually when asked this question, hot brother will take a deep breath, smile to ask: do you know what are the things used to LED? The answer would probably be answered about 4 into people's doubts, remaining 6 people may be for networking, definition of supply chain not familiar with, it is often the boss asked in the "future" networking opportunities and the location where the report and not written and confused, hot brother share for LED and the Internet of things seemingly unrelated, but the relationship can not give up, if there is wrong, please also networking industry senior exhibitions.

Internet of things: perception layer, network layer, application layer

The Internet of things is the Internet of Things, literally meaning specific items between the Internet, how can it be considered as the "Internet of things"?

First of all, we can be divided into three major blocks of things, that is "the perception layer, network layer, application layer, the interaction between the operation mechanism of things like the human brain and nervous system and receiving external stimulation of sensory organ, every move we make in our daily life, are measured by various messages by peripheral nerve after nerve system through the message returned by the brain to brain, interpretation and analysis of information, further response.

Note: IoT / graph definitions of things: the perception layer, network layer, application layer

So, how to establish the interconnection mechanism between object information gathering and transmission, and then execute the interpretation? Because the object does not have the life, we must give them the sensory organs, such as eyes (IP Camera, ambient light sensor), ear (microphone), nose (gas smoke, PM2.5 detector), object to have a way of receiving external stimuli, this part of the perception layer of the Internet of things "".

Part of the sensor by LED or LED optoelectronic components not visible, the next step is to upload the collected information through the Internet to upload to the cloud or the system processor for analysis, the processing procedures for the "network layer", is a large database, the system program receives the feedback information, through computer analysis then, through the Internet to convey layer instructions, such as opening or closing the lamp house or home appliances, this is the "application layer" in the near future, car networking through complex algorithms, through the sensor to collect information and communication network transmission, contact, to communicate with each other on the road. The car, traffic will be more efficient, more secure.

LED in the supply chain of Internet of things

The networking system is too large, the industry supply chain is still not exactly defined, "Gartner industry database company Gartner" will be the first things light chain should be divided into six parts, namely "element" and "brand" and "carriers", "cloud", "platform", "pathway" although LED is clearly classified as "element", similar to the feeling with the current LED supply chain, but the fact is more flexible, the supply relationship between the upstream and downstream of the six categories of networking supply chain is not only linear, but very irregular cross correlation.

From the classification of intuition will think the relationship between the upstream and downstream components are: - brand - cloud - Carriers - platform - path, in fact this is just a permutation network of supply chain supply relations. The networking vendors in order to maintain the competitiveness, in addition to continued investment in product development and patent, sometimes skips the supply chain manufacturers, direct contact with manufacturers, and customized demand products, Apple supply chain management, the key components is Apple directly with suppliers to discuss specifications and price.

Amazon open no storage networking war

Amazon want to do no warehouse, warehousing and exclusive robot market, so in 2012 to $775 million to buy Kiva Robots, notify the warehousing and logistics customers are using the Kiva robot service formally, said after the contract expires, will terminate the service and sales of Kiva robot.

At the time of the acquisition of Kiva Robots issued by Amazon chief executive Jess Bezos, $775 million too expensive? I don't know, but since the acquisition of Kiva, Amazon global logistics warehouse, has more than 30 thousand Kiva robots year-round at work, according to the assessment, a comprehensive guide to Kiva robot distribution center, a 20% years can save marketing costs (Operating Expense), about $22 million, Amazon still has a 100 seat distribution center is not into Kiva, if the full import will save nearly $2 billion 500 million in marketing costs, no storage is the ultimate goal of Amazon is to show, leading logistics competitiveness.

What is the relationship between LED and the Internet of things?

Examples of finished, but with LED what? Don't worry, we have to simulate the situation, if we are giants, put one into the Kiva robot Amazon eighth generation logistics center roof opened, observe a day of operation, Kiva day trigger point is up to you on the platform of Amazon press OK to buy the product list, and complete the payment process (sense
