Connected: it becomes common
practice for companies to embed
sensors, actuators and network
connectivity in their products, thus
realising the potential of connecting
products, nature and life.
Contextual: as a result of this
constant connectivity, the product
can dynamically adapt its behaviour,
the content it exposes, the services
it offers, and realises the promise of
an individualised and highly
customisable experience.
Continuous: companies want to
keep a constant contact with their
customers to grow loyalty and
repurchase, in order to deliver the
promise of evergreen delightful
experiences.
Ultimately, this is all about
connecting,
contextualising
and continuously delivering the
necessary software, applications,
content and services that make the
overall experience of the end user
delightful and efficient. This covers
everyone from designers, machine
operators in manufacturing plants
to individual consumers in their car
or in their kitchen.
The internet of experience
continuously enriches and improves
an evergreen experience, in which
products learn from its environment
and from its usage and adapt
accordingly. It enables the simple
and seamless connection of smart
objects – be it large industrial
equipment or small smart medical
devices – to other objects. This
makes it possible to create a swarm
of connected objects and to develop
a true ecosystem in which the value
of services delivered constantly
improves.
Furthermore, the internet of
experience is also enabling the rapid
evolution of an economy in which
people own products and objects to
an economy where they use them,
based on their needs, on-demand.
It allows the development of new
value added services, and a larger
footprint for brands and companies
who can then reach out to new
audiences and markets, while also
ensuring a very strong traceability
of product usage. Companies can
continuously learn, adapt, enrich
and develop new content, services
and a next generation of products.
This is achieved by tapping into the
intelligence gained from the large
set of data coming from real time
usages.
Working with our customers and
partners,
Dassault
Systèmes’
3DEXPERIENCE platform truly
bridges the world of ‘digital/virtual’
and the world of ‘physical/real’. It
allows continuous experience value
creation, leveraging the power of the
model-based systems engineering
capabilities. It is also the only
multi-scale, internet of things-
aware environment that enables
the system modeling and the
simulation of connected experiences
concurrently and seamlessly.
A notable example is Miele, who are
aiming to change the experience
of owning a home appliance
through connectivity. As part of
the KogniHome project, Miele – in
collaboration with universities and
other companies – is investigating
how intelligent applications can be
of benefit in the kitchen. The aim is
to create an ecosystem that helps
create a greater level of comfort and
spontaneity for consumers
