Internet of Things (IoT)

Introduction

The Internet of Things (IoT) will change the way people live, work and play in a very substantial manner.

The explosion of devices all connected together opens up huge opportunities for a revolution in our lifestyles and in how things get done.

The Internet of Things will encompass everything from utility meters, cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines, alarms, wearable medical devices and various other devices.

With more physical objects and smart devices connected in the IoT landscape, the impact and value that IoT brings to our daily lives becomes more prevalent.

For example, organisations can now easily automate their workflow and improve their responses to service outages. They can even predict failures before it happens with predictive artificial intelligence. New services are emerging that will address societal challenges such as remote health monitoring for elderly patients and pay-as-you-use services.

For governments, the convergence of data sources on shared networks improves nationwide automation of services, which promotes better coordination between agencies and facilitates quicker responsiveness to emergencies and disasters.

For enterprises, IoT brings about tangible business benefits from improved management and tracking of assets and products. Through the optimisation of equipment and resource usage, new business models are derived which results in cost savings and increase in overall productivity for enterprises.

Recognising the immense potential that IoT brings to the table, GRID is fast developing total IoT solutions to help respective industries and government agencies. We are developing solutions in areas of Smart City, Smart Buildings, Asset Tracking, Smart Homes and Smart Metering that will realise the benefits of IoT in significant ways.
