The BB-Cycle, 2020 Edition
The Building Buzz Breakdown, 2020-edition. Innovation all around
Smart Nations, Quantum Computing, IoT Platforms, Digital Twins as a concept, Distributed Intelligence, Ontology-based Digital Twins, and a partridge in a pear tree. It is still a jungle out there, which is why I tried to jot down some of the things I have seen lately and put them in the Building Buzz-cycle depicted below. The perspective is that from a more traditional building automation perspective, and that is why it might differ from other frameworks.
You can find last years’ article below where I go into some detail of what I saw then;
“The BB-cycle” Building Buzz Breakdown
Most of the technology trends can be utilized today but existing market dynamics, slow pace of innovation, will keep it slow-moving for another couple of years. Except for quantum computing, I can honestly say that I am working with all of these technology trends today in some shape or form. Which I believe is quite refreshing in the sense that everything is possible, and that the world will truly leapfrog in the next couple of years, many thanks to Digital Twins.
Overview:
· First out is the BB-cycle from last year
· Next is the BB-cycle from this year
·Final thoughts
Summary
Above are the 2019 version and the 2020 version. I have been a lot more bullish in some of the technologies I see reach the market, many thanks to Covid19, and there are some differences and new additions to the BB-cycle.
My intent is to provide a point of discussion, and not so much as the definitive truth. This is based on what I am seeing dealing with innovation projects in many different segments and I am hoping it might add value to some of you. I will post my thoughts on each one of the topics mentioned, either here at automatedbuildings.com for the January column, and/or at Beyond Buildings.
