Sind Smart Beacons der nächste Schritt in der dritten industriellen Revolution?

In less than a decade, wireless connectivity, the Internet of Things (IoT), smart devices and apps have become the norm.

Today, this technology is expanding at a phenomenal rate. The way we access information and go about our daily lives has changed, with technology behind these new behaviours. When travelling by air, for example, we no longer book flights with a travel agent in person. Instead, we go online and search dates and times to find the best deal.

We digitally check-in before we even reach the airport. And rather than printing tickets, we add our boarding pass to the digital wallet in our devices. Technology has come a long way over the last 10 years and we have quickly adapted to these new ways of commerce, entertainment and travel.

This change, known as the ‘third industrial revolution’ is gaining momentum, and smart beacons are the next step in this journey.
