M2M stands for machine-to-machine, mobile-to-machine,
or man-to-machine communication. Generally stated, M2M is the connection
and communication among all aspects of the physical enterprise:
knowledge workers, business applications, and remotely dispersed
assets and equipment.
More specifically, M2M refers to the combination
of machine connectivity, communications, and information technology
needed to connect machines–or assets–to applications. As such, M2M
is a tool to improve business processes, monitor business assets,
and/or generate new revenue.
A machine can be defined as anything with mechanical,
electrical, electronic, or environmental properties. Examples include
manufacturing machinery, refrigeration systems, telecommunications
equipment, server cabinets, data centers, HVAC systems, storage
tanks, and security equipment. Industry-specific assets like utility
equipment, natural gas compressors and pipelines, traffic management
systems, and restaurant and convenience store equipment can also
be considered machines in the context of M2M.
