Delivering Return on Investment While some forms of ROI provide monetary gain, other equally valuable forms deliver improved customer rela- tionships, brand enhancement, and superior user experi- ences. IoT solutions implemented with components based on the Intel IoT Platform and Alliance member products are delivering on all these. Here are four examples:


• Alliance Premier member Kontron is working with Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Cisco, Dell, IBM, and Intel to establish the Collaborative Research in Engineering, Science & Technology (CREST). CREST’s initial projects include a precision farming project in which soil sensors collect and report data for a smart water-demand management system. The system demonstrates how to use 10 percent less water while increasing rice harvests by 50 percent.
