Why IoT technology is a force for good
A lot of the focus in IoT has been on either inventing new businesses or creating new opportunities for existing businesses by connecting previously unconnected products. There’s great profit potential in IoT but there are also other considerable benefits for organizations to consider. IoT technology is being deployed in multiple industries and providing benefits to society as a whole and this paper showcases just some of the ways in which IoT is creating a better world.
CREATING INTELLIGENT SPACES: Five strategies to accelerate smart building transformation
The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly transforming the world, delivering connectivity and new experiences in our daily lives. In addition to changing everyday experiences, IoT also provides organizations with innovative ways to gain and apply data-driven insight. This digital feedback loop is fueling a new wave of improvements to operations, products, and experiences. As the benefits of IoT become more apparent, forward-thinking leaders are turning their attention to the spaces we inhabit. In offices, hospitals, schools, factories, and retail spaces around the world, building owners and their tenants are looking to increase energy efficiency, optimize space utilization, and improve productivity through IoT initiatives. Already, nearly 50% of developers, owners, and occupants believe that a smart building strategy will become a competitive differentiator in the commercial real estate market.1 And as smart buildings and spaces become more ubiquitous and interconnected, they pave the way for entire communities and smart cities built on a foundation of IoT-enabled insights.
Quantum impact: Energy and utilities
With a multi-directional smart grid, it will become increasingly important to manage load balancing in local nodes to avoid energy loss from sending power generated at the edge of the grid back to the high-level grid. This use case is a prime area of focus for quantum optimization: How can we efficiently determine the best schedule for resources and run these computations at a timescale that’s most relevant to the problem? And longer term, how can we actually control those resources in a coordinated fashion, being responsive to variability in both demand and supply within the power grid?
Volansys selects Quectel LTE modules to enable gateway connectivity for remote attendance system
When Volansys needed to develop a remote attendance management solution for a customer, it deployed its Centauri 200 IoT Gateway alongside the IoTify cloud platform and the customer’s Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensors to detect presence and attendance. The final piece was to enable LTE connectivity back from the IoT gateways to the IoTify cloud for analysis.
Illuminating Concepts Partners with MultiTech to Innovate OOD Lighting
Looking to take their lighting displays to the next level, the designers at Illuminating Concepts reached out to MultiTech to provide a top-of-the-line remote device management (RDM) solution to enhance the capabilities of their lighting arrangements.
C&D Mechanical Inc.: Industrial Plumbing
In less than a year’s time, C&D spent more than $20,000 to replace ProPress systems; which are tools used to connect pipes for commercial plumbing installations. The business needed an asset tracking system to monitor the use and location of these valuable company resources. An effective solution also needed to track the number of tools in circulation and the length of time out in order to minimize time in transit or inventory.
Clarke Consutrction Case Study
Clark Construction leads hundreds of active projects at any given time and undetectable water leaks during construction resulting from environmental conditions and system failures were causing millions of dollars in damage. To manage this problem, Clark needed visual insight into water delivery and consumption during construction.
