Making value apparent - we're connecting capabilities to enable Internet of Things adoption

SERAS - a UK-wide network led by Sheffield Robotics to enhance Skills and Education for Robotics and Autonomous Systems - is working with Pitch-In to identify and address skills gaps around IoT. In particular, a recent workshop aimed to encourage women and a diverse age range to develop IoT skills.

A collaboration between Pitch-In, start-up Ioetec and the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), which is part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult network, is helping manufacturers large and small reap the benefits that IoT can bring to their business operations.

‘IoT for care’ is an emerging field that faces its own specific barriers as well as those common to all IoT domains. This project draws upon experiences of those at the forefront of the field to develop resources and plot a course towards widespread adoption of IoT for care.
