JIADING is aiming to become a research and development center for the Internet of Things in five to eight years.
Its assets in striving for that goal are a strong sense of national competitiveness and a keen awareness of the world of the future. The district is trying to position itself as a demonstration area and a cluster area for key technologies of the Internet of Things.
Pilot projects are already under way, relating to tests on intelligent appliances in conjunction with Shanghai Decalong Ltd and battery cars produced by Zhongke Shenjiang Electric Vehicles Co.
Decalong has been a pioneer in intelligent heating and other household systems. The technology is still in its infancy. When connected with the Internet of Things, home appliances can be adjusted automatically and even by remote control, according to the indoor environment.
A whole social community can be transported into the home through connections with a given community's intelligent network.
Decalong is planning to stage an exhibition of intelligent furniture in support of Chinese Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology. The two entities have linked up in the development of applications tying family life to the Internet of Things.
Twenty-five electric cars have been provided by Shenjiang to the World Expo site. They will soon be installed with controllers that make intelligent driving possible. Controllers will transmit the real-time road conditions to the data processing center, which in turn will compute and deliver ideal driving routes to cars. That would allow drivers to avoid traffic jam or road works. The system also will remind drivers when it's time to recharge batteries.
In mid-June, the first phase of the Shanghai Center of the Internet of Things was launched, with investment of 800 million yuan (US$118 million). Other allied projects at academies and laboratories are also under way.
