The IoT revolution is expected to create millions of new job opportunities across the industry, especially for electrical professionals. This sits in contrast to the revelation that automation will cause massive job redundancies. This opposing opinion was made by industry leaders including Schneider Electric, Osram, ABB, and Philips who were brought together by digital media business and sales enabler Voltimum. Schneider Electric UK&I president Tanuja Randery said: "The IoT revolution is going to change the way we work, as individuals, organisations and companies. "We have to find new ways of applying our resources, so I don't agree with those that say it's going to cause an enormous amount of redundancies. "I fundamentally believe that IoT won't work without human interaction of some kind. You can automate processes and create significant efficiency, but at the end of the day there is someone programming the algorithm or analysing the data - because the robots can't do it.
