IoT Lays the Foundation for the Emergence of AR in Smart Buildings
Augmented reality (AR) is one of those technologies that inspire futuristic visions of the world. AR blurs the line between the real and the digital worlds by allowing users to view the environment around them through a data-rich lens, literally seeing a digital interpretation of their physical surroundings. Using cameras and screens, or AR glasses, […]

New Normal, Same Problems – The Continued Need for Better IoT Governance
“Historically, IT and OT roles were driven by clearly distinct business requirements. The IT role focused on information flows, while facilities managers were more focused on the physical functioning of a building. The two departments would typically operate in functional silo’s with little strategic alignment or influence over each other’s projects and initiatives,” stresses our […]

IT Accelerates its Colonization of OT As Resistance Diminishes
The Internet of Things (IoT) is forcing the worlds of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) together as new environments like smart buildings link their OT systems to the information super-highway. The convergence of OT and IT is not a smooth one, however, issues surrounding business structure, skills shortages, data silos, cyber security and […]

How Will Independent System Integrators Deliver Data-Driven Buildings?
Over the last 10 years there has been a slow progress towards Data-Driven Buildings and even today we are still some years away from being able to deliver cost effective solutions to satisfy building owners / operators. In order to achieve Smart Buildings we need to breakdown the silo’s between all the building services and […]
