TE連接與物聯網

　　蒸汽機、大規模生產和互聯網技術給商業帶來了巨大的革命。今天，我們正處于所謂的第四次工業革命之中--物理事物與互聯網的融合：物聯網。

　　除了炒作

　　物聯網。工業互聯網。互聯網的一切。指的物理物質的融合與互聯網的數字世界的術語是不同的，從北美洲到歐洲到亞洲。然而，從本質上講，它們都是同一件事：通過將汽車、衣服、建筑和工廠制造聰明，創造經濟價值的普遍機會。

　　物聯網是指嵌入電子、軟件和傳感器的物理對象或事物的網絡。憑借連接，這些東西創造了更大的價值和服務，通過捕獲和交換數據與它的用戶和/或其他連接的設備。

　　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.
