In this really interesting article from Forbes, it is explained how IoT and Advanced Analytics technologies, together with Oracle Exadata Database Machine, are used to help analyze and optimize the behaviour of the Oracle Team USA boat. An impressive and nice example of IoT technologies applied to Sport.
"It’s estimated that every time the yacht and its crew set sail, they
generate as much as a terabyte of data, much of it video, collected from
as many as 1,000 sensors attached to myriad boat and body parts and fed
into a powerful Oracle Exadata database for analysis.
For example, about 400 aerodynamic pressure sensors have been added
to the boat’s wing sail. Those Airbus-developed sensors, called MEMs
(micro-electro-mechanical systems), provide ORACLE TEAM USA with
important information on the flow around the rigid sail under various
conditions, helping the crew further optimize performance and maneuvers."
