Application

Automation is the use of technology to control processes, systems, or machines with little human intervention. It can improve efficiency and accuracy and reduce costs by eliminating manual work. It is widely used in different industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and finance.

Automation

Remote management utilizes IoT devices and sensors to enable users to check in on and interact with people, equipment, or animals from anywhere. Remote management solutions may range from patient health monitoring to remote equipment and process management.

Remote Management

Through IoT, wayfinding can become a more personalized experience for users. IoT in wayfinding relies on behavioral trends and real-time data to optimize routes and make suggestions to help users get where they're going, both indoors and out.

Wayfinding

Sustainability in IoT is about leveraging connected technology to reduce emissions and drive more energy-efficient operations. Sustainable strategies can benefit almost any vertical industry but are especially impactful in the Industrial IoT (IIoT) and at the enterprise level, where economies of scale can result in exponential reductions in emissions and waste. IoT Sustainability strategies are becoming ever more important to the growth of Digital Transformation.

Sustainability

Animal tracking solutions use IoT-enabled sensors and location technology, like GPS, to track the location and health of animals for applications from wildlife conservation, to consumer pet tracking, to commercial livestock health monitoring.

People Tracking

Contact tracing is the public health term for the process of tracking and identifying people who may have, are, or are known to have, come into contact with a person who is known to be contagious or infected with a medical condition that can be transferred to others. It is most often used in cases of epidemic or pandemic, such as COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus) to limit the spread of infection by notifying at-risk individuals and encouraging them to quarantine.

Contact Tracing

The process of monitoring how many people are in a building, space, or area and how that changes over time.

Occupancy Tracking

Trailer tracking enables new visibility into the location and performance of trailers. Through IoT-enabled sensors and devices, stakeholders can see the condition and location of trailers, as well as measure the stress their cargo is put under - including temperature, shock, tilt, and impact.
