While restaurants have brought technology to the table with their menus on tablet phones, online ordering and payments are also evaluating new techniques in the kitchen and beyond, leveraging Internet-of-Things (IoT) for a host of back-end jobs such as checking cooking oil reuse, saving energy and managing delivery.
Chennai-based Zoho Corp's division WebNMS and a Turkish restaurant chain are working on an end-to-end solution to manage the food outlets in Turkey. Sensors will track ligh ..

IoT market to tripple to USD 1.7 trillion in 2020
Source: reuters, 2/6/2015
The global market for "Internet of Things", the concept of connecting household devices to the Internet, will nearly triple to $1.7 trillion by 2020, research firm International Data Corp said.
The IoT market, valued at $655.8 billion in 2014, is set to grow at a compounded annual rate of 16.9 percent, IDC said on Tuesday.
"Devices, connectivity, and IT services will make up the majority of the IoT market in 2020," IDC said. "Together, they are estimated to account for over two-thirds of the worldwide IoT market in 2020..."
Technology firms including Google Inc, Intel Corp, Cisco Systems, Samsung Electronics and telecoms majors including Vodafone and Verizon are betting heavily on Internet device-connected homes for future revenue and profit.
Intel said in February it would buy German network chip maker Lantiq to expand its range of chips used in Internet-connected gadgets.
Google bought smart thermostat and smoke alarm-maker Nest Labs Inc for $3.2 billion last year and Samsung Electronics acquired U.S. start-up SmartThings, which makes software that helps control everything from door locks to light switches in homes, for $200 million.

ARM and TSMC to develop IoT subsystem for smart homes
Source: Alan Patterson, eetimes, 1/6/2015
ARM and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) today (June 1) announced their development of an IoT subsystem for ARM Cortex-M processors that they expect will simplify design of chips used in devices for smart homes and smart cities.
The individually licensable subsystem IP block, together with ARM's Cortex-M processor and Cordio radio IP, is the basis for IoT chip designs allowing the integration of sensors and other peripherals.
Using ARM Artisan physical IP, the design is optimized for TSMC's 55nm Ultra-Low Power process technology with embedded flash memory to create chips with reduced size, cost and power consumption operating at less than one volt.
"With industry expectations of hundreds of billions of new smart connected sensors by 2030, we see a demand for highly customized chips," said James McNiven, ARM general manager, systems and software. The ARM IoT subsystem "enables our partners to focus finite resources on the system functionality that differentiates them in their market."
The ARM IoT subsystem is optimized for mbed OS and Cordio Bluetooth Smart radio while allowing integration with other radios and wireless networking standards such as Wi-Fi and 802.15.4. The subsystem features a range of peripherals and interfaces including links to TSMC's embedded flash memory.
"A key part of this IoT subsystem is flash," said ARM Executive Vice President of Technical Operations Dipesh Patel, speaking to reporters at the Computex electronics show in Taipei. "By working very closely with TSMC, we were able to develop a controller that minimizes the amount of power consumption you will see at the system level."
The flash controller drops power consumption to 0.9 volts, thereby extending battery life to as much as a year in lighting and metering applications.
"By offering the IoT subsystem, ARM is enabling both new and established semiconductor vendors to design and deliver solutions in a very timely and cost-effective manner," said Jim McGregor of TIRIAS Research in ARM's press release. "With the most complete offering of hardware and software solutions for IoT applications, it's no surprise that more IoT devices run on ARM than any other architecture."
TSMC started the foundry segment's first ultra-low power technology platform in September 2014 to serve a range of applications supporting demand for IoT and wearable devices.
It's likely that in the near term, such IoT devices will be fabricated in 55nm and 40nm process technology, TSMC Senior Director of IoT Business Development Simon Wang said. The 55nm to 40nm node is suitable for slow data-rate, low power-consumption applications such as smart home lighting and metering where battery life of up to one year is desirable.
