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.
