The prospect for the Internet of Things (IoT) market is overwhelming.
Figures from Accenture show that manufacturers and developers investing in the Industrial IoT could add a staggering $14.2 trillion to the world economy over the next 15 years, and research from IDC expects there will be more than 28 billion IoT devices installed by 2020.
But with so much hype, it can be hard to know just which companies are having the biggest impact on the economy.
