We Need Smart Data Not Just Big Data
The Big data concept is defined around four key characteristics: data volume, data velocity, data veracity and data value. While the volume and velocity characteristics are concerned with the data generation process as well as how to capture and store the data, the veracity and value characteristics primarily deal with the quality and the usefulness […]
Sensors Produce Data, People with Data Produce Solutions
Carpet manufacturers are embedding sensors to track footsteps, the lighting sector is embedding sensors, furniture manufacturers are doing the same. The Internet of Things (IoT) will soon no longer be about adding sensors and connecting “things”, it will be about how we analyse data to create new workplace strategies. That is the view of Srihar […]

Information is the New Utility in Smart Buildings
“Network infrastructure for the building is going to be a new utility”, says Byron Thom, vice-president of Systems at, Vancouver based, Optigo Networks. It is a view shared by many in the industry as we move into an age of widespread intelligence in buildings. By developing the infrastructure for information to flow like power and […]
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 […]
The Only Way to ‘Start-Up’ Smart Cities
At Memoori, over the past few months, we have been exploring the development of the Smart City from a new perspective, an organic development of a city, inspired by its inhabitants. Last December we talked about the evolution of the Smart City from the bottom-up rather than a top-down system, which has been prevalent around […]
Creating More Efficient Sensors For The Internet Of Things
Be it under the umbrella of Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Buildings or Smart Cities; Sensors and the data they produce are making our society more energy efficient. However, in a world full of sensors are we making sure the sensors themselves are energy efficient? At present, 80% of the energy consumed by the sensors […]
Smarter Sensors will mean Smarter & Faster Decisions
The Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data isn’t just about more data, it is about smarter, faster decisions. Smarter measurements and faster decisions can result from wise use of smarter sensors, which allow us to better manage the collection, processing, and analysis of data in order to make quicker, more informed decisions. “As smart […]
