New AI-driven technology boosts IoT for smart cities

Ayyeka | March 15, 2022

New_AI_driven
Ayyeka Inc. has a pioneering technology to transform smart cities from a futuristic promise to an everyday reality. The promise of smart cities--which leverages IoT technologies for digitalization of critical infrastructure—has been slow to materialize. Data quality and reliability are among the top impediments to smart cities and IoT deployments at large. Ayyeka's AI Data Curator solves this.

There are many moving parts to IoT projects, ranging from sensors through edge devices to cloud platforms, making it easy for things to go wrong. In large-scale IoT projects, it is not uncommon to have data quality and reliability issues that render the data useless. Whether it's gaps in the data, unstable readings, or the sensor is just stuck at a certain value--the user now has only two options: either clean the data or give up on it. Detecting, fixing, and overcoming those issues is a labor-intensive process. On large-scale IoT deployments, this is just not feasible and often delays or even fails the entire project.

Ayyeka has automated this process by harnessing the power of AI, delivering more reliable data, and saving enormous amounts of time and manual labor. At the click of a button, Ayyeka's AI Data Curator will detect, report, and automatically fix IoT sensor data for better decision outcomes and regulatory compliance.

In industries where decisions are anchored with data, that data must be solid. Yair Poleg, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Ayyeka, explained that "Data quality is often overlooked in the proof-of-concept (PoC) phase of IoT deployments, but it becomes a huge problem when scaling up from the PoC phase to full-size deployments. The AI Data Curator alleviates this pain point."

About Ayyeka
Ayyeka provides an end-to-end solution with the hardware, software, and artificial intelligence needed to create resilience in any type of infrastructure. Simple to launch, the plug-and-play solution is compatible with any sensor to deliver all essential data for each asset. Ayyeka's solution provides decision-makers with the visibility and situational awareness to convert data into insights and action.

IDC’s research demonstrates that enterprise organizations are prioritizing digital infrastructure (DX) resiliency as a foundational element of their IT strategy. Organizations are looking for richer levels of visibility, cross-platform control, advanced data management, and protection that spans the entire ecosystem, including public or private cloud, on premises, colocation facility, and edge. DX initiatives rely on data-driven insights to deliver competitive differentiation, increased customer engagement, streamlined business operations, increased staff productivity, and growth in revenue and profitability. IT infrastructure is one of the crucial pillars of DX. In fact, DX cannot succeed without IT transformation, aligned with business strategy to meet or exceed service-level objectives for data-driven insights. Because of this realization, organizations are now focused on managing outcomes instead of IT infrastructure and looking to vendors and partners to help reach this goal.
