Samsung Electronics demonstrated its leadership in the Internet of Things (IoT) space by showcasing its latest innovation around IoT components, devices and platforms at CES 2016 in Las Vegas.
Using a CES keynote to take stock of a year of IoT innovation, Dr. WP Hong said that Samsung had “achieved a lot in a very short amount of time”. The Internet of Things was now “in sync with real life” and delivering real value for consumers, businesses and society at large," he said.
Dr. Hong, the President of Samsung SDS and the Head of its solution business, described Samsung’s devices and components, platforms and security solutions as the key ingredients that “bring ‘smarts’ to the everyday objects in our lives.”
During the keynote, Samsung presented new components like an ultra-thin and flexible high-capacity battery and the Bio-Processor, a powerful but extremely small all-in-one healthcare chip..
Dr. Hong also demonstrated the rapidly growing range of Samsung devices and appliances that are equipped with IoT technologies for the Smart Home of today, by working with the SmartThings ecosystem. Samsung’s new range of 2016 SUHD TVs, for example, can all be used as IoT hubs. The new Samsung Family Hub refrigerator, with its large 21.5-inch LED display, can be the center of grocery management, family sharing of notes and pictures and entertainment, and even makes it possible to check on your mobile device what’s in the fridge - thanks to its inbuilt cameras.
