Building Smart Buildings Smartly – The New Technology of Construction
The construction industry is not known for its willingness to implement new technology but even it can’t ignore the wave of new technology flowing around it. As the abilities of artificial intelligence, drones, augmented reality, 3D printing and other new technologies continue to grow; it looks increasingly like construction is ready to open up to […]
Virtual and Augmented Reality For Smart Buildings
Virtual and augmented reality has long been considered a disruptive technology across industry and consumer markets, always on the verge of changing the way we live, work and play. The Gartner Hype Cycle places VR and AR past the peak of inflated expectations and deep in the trough of disillusionment but excitement, at least, remains. […]
The Smart Connected Supply Chain Ecosystem for Smart Cities and Buildings
“Smart connected ecosystems combined with artificial intelligence integrated in products is game changing and disruptive,” says Frank Vorrath, VP of Global Supply Chain at Johnson Controls, on the topics of traditional business and the smart building sector. Vorrath highlights the supply chain ecosystem, comprising of the entire supply and value chains, as central to success […]
Should a Smarter Building Mean a More Secure Building?
Since its recent resurgence, the access control sector has been constantly evolving to enable better security processes in the next generation of smart buildings. Moving from the physical key, to the radio frequency identification (RFID) card, to passwords, smartphones, video, fingerprints and other biometric identification. As access control goes digital so does its vulnerabilities. The […]
ZEN; the Zero Energy Nanotechnology Building
Amongst the many buildings of the SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany, New York, something a bit different stands. Within the buildings of Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) exists what might be the world’s most advanced university research enterprise in existence today. With 300 industrial partners, 4,000 scientists, engineers, students and faculty, and over […]
The Industrial Internet of Things is About More Than Just Efficiency
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is built on the principles of efficiency, optimization and cost saving. However, there is much more to the IIoT than making things leaner, quicker and cheaper. The IIoT is creating value where there was none, it is supporting development outside its set definitions, in fact the IIoT seems to […]
Is the Role of RFID in the Internet Of Things being Underestimated?
The term Internet of Things (IoT) was first coined by British entrepreneur Kevin Ashton in 1999, while working at Auto-ID Labs, specifically referring to a global network of objects connected by RFID (radio-frequency identification). Over the past 17 years IoT has risen to be a ubiquitous term for all connected things as part of the […]
Retail Buildings Provide Lucrative Market Opportunities for Big Data Software
The commercial building market is estimated to be one of the top five applications for Big Data. But the diversity of building types, wide range of sizes and complexities, single or multiple sites and ownerships ensures that one solution will not satisfy all needs. It is therefore imperative that before investing billions of dollars in […]
