Supply chain sustainability is becoming a critical issue. Companies’ supply chains often account for more than 90% of their greenhouse gas emissions, and as the world becomes more interconnected, these networks are only growing. This issue is particularly relevant in the food and beverage industry.
Protect yourself better against an infection with Covid-19 and learn something at the same time: Researchers at the Umwelt-Campus of the University of Applied Sciences Trier and experts of the German national Digital Summit have developed an open source kit […]
Tracking of Containers and Goods, Supplying Real Time Data, Optimising Production: How IoT helps Businesses track and secure their most valuable assets.
Digital is not always smart. Even smart is not always smart: The running gag of the energy industry are digital electricity meters that have to be flashed with a flashlight in order to elicit meter readings. But even in the Smart Home, you can tussle your hair in the meantime.
In contrast to the IT sector, where new developments are planned and executed at least once a year, the housing industry is somewhat more leisurely in terms of planning, construction and operation. As a rule, planning is made in decades instead of quarters. And yet: the housing industry will not avoid digitization either. But how can both be brought together in a sustainable and future-proof way?
Keeping our cities clean with smart waste bins: Intelligent waste management with smart containers could avoid overfilled waste bins and saving municipalities a lot of money. Harald Naumann, engineer in information electronics, explains how.
IoT in logistics is one of the most promising fields for experimentation with new uses of the IoT. There is huge scope in logistics for eliminating inefficiencies such as wasted journeys, unused storage or haulage space, and the loss, theft, spoiling or impairment of goods in transit and in storage.
Driven by innovative technologies in the field of sensors, computing speed and battery life, it is conceivable that our clothing will increasingly change over the next few years. The so-called “Smart clothes” are clothes characterized by traditional protective and representative functions in combination with digital and technical features.
Humans have been farming successfully for thousands of years, for most of that time using only the most primitive of technologies. Only in the very recent past have computers begun to have an impact on the way that farmers grow crops and raise livestock. So it might seem strange to suggest that a traditional craft honed over such a long time could be ripe for reinvention via the Internet of Things.
Engineers from Bosch and Daimler are currently experimenting with how a car finds its way through a public car park. For car park owners, this technology offers new potential added value for their business.
