IoT is a disruptive technology, a part of digitalisation, aimed at creating insights that can transform businesses. The transformation can lead to cutting costs, saving the planet, or completely transforming companies into new business models that provide better value and simultaneously save the planet.
In 2023, we had a much-hyped discussion about the AI revolution. It has happened fast. AI is a technological revolution, but what if you add IoT into the mix? Few phrases ring as transformative as “AI meets IoT.” The combination of two technologies is not just an evolution; it is not a revolution, but it’s a paradigm shift—a redefinition of how we, as individuals and businesses, interact with the very fabric of our environments.
Next-Level Intelligence of AI-Integrated IoT
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two colossi striding through the tech landscape. AI, with its ability to parse vast datasets to learn and make decisions, and IoT, with its network of interlinked sensors collecting data from every nook of our world, come together to form a synergy that’s more than the sum of its parts.
From smart to genius: AI-Enhanced IoT
Our latest endeavour brings these titans together. IoT sensors meticulously gather data, forming a digital reflection of the physical world. AI then steps in to interpret this data and present it efficiently and understandably. The outcome? A web interface that not only displays data and diagrams we are used to but also utilises AI to summarise the indoor climate and automatically provide recommendations for improvements and adjustments.
Summary of the Last 24 Hours
Over the past day, important data regarding battery level, temperature, and humidity was collected:
Conference Room:
- Battery Level: constant at 100%.
- Temperature: varied between 20°C and 22°C throughout the day, with average values around 21°C.
- Humidity: fluctuated between 37% and 45%, with average values just over 40%.
Office:
- Battery Level: showed significant variation between 11% and 87%, with an average of 29% at night and 42% during the day.
- Temperature: ranged from 19°C to 23°C, with average temperatures around 21°C.
- Humidity: was between 35% and 44%, with average values near 40%.
Office 2:
- Battery Level: constant at 100%.
- Temperature: varied from 20°C to 25°C, with an average around 22°C.
- Humidity: varied between 29% and 39%, with average values around 35%.
Outdoors:
- Battery Level: constant at 100%.
- Temperature: was significantly lower, between 4.5°C and 12°C, with a marked difference between day (average 8°C) and night (average 6°C).
Key Observations:
- The office’s battery level shows greater variation at night, with a lower average compared to daytime.
- Indoor temperatures are somewhat higher during the day, which may be an effect of sunlight or building usage.
- Outdoor temperature is significantly lower at night, as expected.
- Indoor humidity is relatively constant between day and night.
This should be taken into account when adjusting heating and air conditioning settings to optimize comfort and energy consumption. The battery levels for the office should be monitored, especially during the night, to avoid downtime.
A leap into predictive analytics
By merging machine learning with continuous environmental data analysis, we have, together with one partner, engineered a platform that not only reacts to current conditions but predicts future needs. Imagine a system that not only tells you that your office humidity is low but also suggests the optimal time to activate humidifiers without you having to lift a finger. Beyond that, it can predict when the humidity will be low next time and come with understandable recommendations, far easier to understand than just reading a diagram.
The green promise
Beyond comfort and efficiency, there’s a greater horizon we’re heading towards—sustainability. By optimising energy usage and streamlining how we manage our spaces, we’re not just cutting costs; we’re minimising our carbon footprint. This isn’t a promise; it’s an actionable reality.
Invitation to innovation
We are at the brink of a new dawn, where smart isn’t just a feature—it’s the standard. This convergence of AI and IoT stands to revolutionise industries, redefine standards of indoor climate, and, of course, go beyond that as well. AI and IoT can optimise almost any business, no matter the vertical.
The age of AI meeting IoT is here. It’s not just about better business—it’s about a better world. As these technologies intertwine, they promise to weave a future where technology is not an intruder but a benevolent force, quietly and intelligently enhancing every aspect of our lives. Welcome to the age of intelligent responsiveness, where AI meets IoT, and yes, the world will never be the same again. See it in action? Click here.
