Be in control of your buildings - anywhere and anytime

A smart office building or commercial complex enables the automated, centralized control of the structure’s water and electricity, lighting, heating, ventilation, security, parking spaces, waste management, elevators and emergency exits, access control to computer systems, and garden and equipment maintenance over an IoT network.In the retail industry, IoT sensors around stores can help businesses collect data such as at what time a customer entered a shop, what they showed interest in, and what they bought. Smart commerce helps marketing and product teams to optimize a store’s layout, maintain optimal stock levels, monitor staff behavior, improve product tracking like return rates, monitor wait times in queues and foot traffic, and automate checkouts.

Smart workplaces

Commercial IoT applications deployed at supermarkets, malls, hotels, healthcare facilities, museums and exhibitions, and leisure complexes aim to create an enjoyable consumer experience outside people's home environments. To create a comfortable environment, sensors monitor and automatically adjust air quality, lighting, and temperature in public buildings. Commercial IoT applications manage access control and security, monitor inventory in retail stores, gather data about people’s behavior in public places, and provide location services for visitors to hospitality venues. Commercial IoT is not to be confused with consumer IoT, which is concerned with personal wearables and smart home devices. Edge computing is a growing trend in commercial IoT. Edge computing provides capabilities for devices to collect, process, and act on data gathered close to its source, for example foot traffic in a supermarket, without having to backhaul to a data center. Communication in commercial IoT solutions is effected by numerous connectivity types, including Bluetooth, wifi, LoRa, 4G LTe, and ZigBee, depending on the application. 

Smart workplaces feature hardware and software for improved communication and collaboration like video conferencing. In smart workplaces, sensors can keep track of business assets like company laptops. Smart workplaces enable automated monitoring of IT security vulnerabilities and remote management of off-site employees and contractors. In smart workplaces, many mundane tasks like scheduling a suitable conference room or catering for a meeting can be done remotely or by digital business assistants.
