Smart Grid and the Internet of Things

December 18, 2017

Utility companies in developed economies are looking to leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve the development and operation of smart grids. However, an IoT setup cannot exist as a standalone web and needs many supporting IT services, translating into opportunities for IT service providers and benets for utilities and their consumers.

Transforming Endpoints with Artificial Intelligence

whitePaper | August 5, 2021

There has never been so much compute power available in IoT devices - now is the time to be designing and deploying true intelligence in IoT endpoints. Devices which are aware of their environment are capable of adding huge value to the data they collect and the services which they enable. This paper explores how new and emerging technology can enable your devices to see, hear and feel what is going on, interpret what they sense, take autonomous actions and generate real, trusted, valued data for the cloud. Recent developments in hardware and software will enable a step change in the capability of resource-constrained endpoint platforms, allowing developers to build vision, voice and vibration capability, coupled with genuine intelligence at the endpoint.
