IoT makes up a Significant Part of the Future of your Business

IoT is smart use of data, and regardless of industry, the possibilities are nigh on endless. Only the imagination sets the limits. Examples of IoT use:

• IoT sensors in the road surface are used to measure the temperature in the road, so slippery roads are dealt with when they occur. This saves resources and, at the same time, it protects the environment. It is an IoT solution that is already being seen in several municipalities.
• The smart thermostat ensures that the heat in a building is always as you wish. You can set the thermostat yourself, so it only heats the house when someone is at home. The thermostat can also measure how high the flow-and-return temperatures in your district heating system are. Utility is automatically notified, so they can lower the temperature in the entire district heating network. This saves both the consumers and the supplier a lot of money.
• Alarm systems connected to cameras, smoke alarms, the water pump, and the front door are some of the IoT solutions that are available in the private home, the public sector, and Danish companies. If something is out of order, a direct message is sent to your phone or to a switchboard.
• IoT can also be used in agricultural production, where sensors in the stables collect data from feeding machines and chip units from the animals. The collected data is used to give farmers an overview, so they can control feeding, irrigation, temperature, and light, without having to do it all manually. It ensures optimal living and growth conditions for animals and crops. With Art Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), the data collected enables the farmer to act before problems arise.
• IoT is also used in transport & logistics. An example is monitoring of refrigerated containers on cargo ships, where temperature, humidity and CO2 level can be monitored in real-time. It ensures that a message is sent if, for example, there is a power outage. In this way, spoiled food is avoided, and preventive maintenance can be performed on parts and equipment before problems arise, which would otherwise force trucks and ships into long-term and costly repairs.
• Another very concrete example of IoT is in connection with fleet management, where the use of IoT devices with radio transmitters and GPS can give transport companies and customers higher transparency with real-time tracking. Using AI and Machine Learning, time and fuel consumption can be optimized by collecting data on driving patterns and traffic conditions. It also allows the customer to compete on price and service.
