I wrote an article at Memex Automation, called The Last Metre.
Below is a snippet at the beginning.
What is the last metre? The last
metre, or last meter if you live in the United States, is the
combination of technical, and sometimes business, challenges involved to
make the final connection of a device to the Internet. A device would
be any device from a multi-million dollar machine tool to an
inexpensive sensor.
Many have heard of “the last mile
problem” as it relates to the challenge of connecting a house to the
Internet. Solving “the last mile problem” can be quite complicated and
costly with legal right of ways, homeowner associations, and local
politics and of course homeowner concerns. Solving the last metre is
exponentially more complex because of the number and types of machines
and devices on the manufacturing floor. At Memex, we know how to solve
the last metre on the manufacturing floor and we know our methodologies
and toolkits can provide the platform to solve the last metre problem in
a variety of non-manufacturing industries.
