May 23rd, 2017The “Perfect” Smart City Will Be One That Provides A Platform For Organic Growth
May 3rd, 2017Open Source Platform Enables Lighting Controls For Everyone
In the late 19th century electric lighting changed the fabric of society by unlocking the potential of the night. It allowed us to work and play long past sunset, but with that came other problems. Now, in the early 21st century, we have the technology to solve those problems and unlock the human and efficiency […]
Will A Truly Smart Building Be Emotionally Intelligent?
“Imagine your fridge working with you to eat healthier, or your wearable and TV team up to get you off the couch! Your bathroom mirror senses that you’re a bit stressed and interacts with your lighting to adjust it while turning on the right mood-enhancing music,” it states on the website for emotional recognition firm […]
If Data Is The New Gold, Then Data Scientists Are The New Gold Miners
If data is the new gold, then data scientists are the new gold miners, and they use a smart generation of tools to prospect, unearth and refine nuggets of actionable intelligence from growing big data mines. You need only look at recruitment website to see the massive demand for data scientists, as well as their […]

The City as a Circuit Board: Smartness through Connectivity
Picture a modern city at night, viewed from directly above. Reminiscent of a circuit board with different electronic components (buildings) connected by conductive tracks (roads) to create one functioning entity from many smaller elements. Signals (people) travel along defined copper traces (roads) to deliver information and instructions to different parts of the circuit board. This […]
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 […]

New Research Allows Smart Buildings To Be More Resilient To Extreme Events
Earthquakes, explosions and even day-to-day vibrations can cause structural damage to a building that may go unnoticed until it starts to cause dangerous problems. New research, however, is allowing technology enriched smart buildings to sense this type of internal damage so it can be fixed before issues arise. Over the past few years, scientists at […]
