IOT - Internet of Things
Internet of Things (IOT)
From monitoring of data centre temperature to controlling of a traffic light. From allowing access into a stadium to triggering an alarm on a baby monitor. These are all part of the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things is a term used to describe a network of “things”. These “things” can be sensors, locks, cameras, fridges, cars etc. By connecting these devices onto a network, data can be exchanged between “things” and back-end-systems and smart spaces, smart offices or smart cities can be created.
Specialised Security
Security Cameras
With the rapid development in Security Cameras and Management Systems, more and more can be done by making use of Security Cameras. With Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, it is now possible to detect if a driver of a vehicle is tired, sleepy or getting distracted by something or someone. Facial recognition can be used to control access into and out of an environment, and sound analytics can be used to detect the origin of sudden changes in sound. By using specialised cameras heat can be detected and an alert can be triggered when a manufacturing machine is running too hot, gas leaks can be detected and corrective action can be taken by integrating into backend systems. In order to protect your assets or site, cameras can form a virtual perimeter and alert you and the authorities as soon as an intruder breaches the perimeter.
tracks every movement
Asset Tracking
By making use of various types of technologies, assets and people can accurately be tracked and accounted for. Now you can give your visitor or staff members a tag that tracks every movement and alert them as they enter an unauthorised area. Deploying this in a warehouse environment with asset tags can ease the process of stock take, prevent theft and assist with ensuring that the right product goes to the right customer, thus saving time and money. Truckloads can be tracked from the moment they leave your premises until they reach their destination, and an alert can be triggered if there is any deviation from a predefined business rule or route.
reward-based systems drivers
Transport Industry
With millions being lost by abusive drivers and vehicle failures, there is a need to make use of smart systems to save time and money in the transport industry. By incorporating various sensors and systems, potential failures can be detected before they happen preventing expensive or even catastrophic failures. Making use of reward-based systems drivers can be encouraged to drive safer and more economically and follow all pre- and post-departure inspections and checklists. By making use of data connection from the vehicle back to the data centre, optimal and safest routes can be sent to the vehicle in real-time and can be adapted based on route conditions.
