HOW IIOT GETS YOU CRUCIAL DATA
FOR INSIGHTFUL ANALYTICS
The movement towards and development
of Internet of things technology has
already considerably improved many
organisations ability to manage their
assets better. As organisations continue
to develop themselves in their given
field their ability to monitor their assets
needs to remain agile to meet ongoing
change. The way in which we get data and
information from our assets must continue
to provide rapid solutions and even swifter
responses ensuring proactive rather than
reactive intervention. Whatever your asset
is however, machinery to man power, the
ability to get them working as efficiently
and effectively as possible is crucial to
success.
To keep up with the rapid changes and
requirements of any business the way
we access internet of things must move
forward to. It is no longer sufficient for
most businesses to rely on mains powered,
large data logging units that aren’t easily
transferrable and often lead to questions
around costs to deploy. Development of
battery powered, cost effective, cellular
devices providing flexibility and agility
must be addressed to answer these
requirements.
Many of our clients require solutions that
help them manage their assets over large
locational areas or with assets that are in
difficult places to reach once deployed.
The challenge is to allow insight remotely
whilst management remains local,
deploying their people effectively and
safely to resolve any issues. Development
of Bluetooth (BLE) within remote
monitoring units is a vital development in
allowing field asset communication.
As we are currently working closely with
the water industry, the intricate and vast
pipe networks require a smart approach
to monitoring and reacting. Typically
to access certain points of the network
it involves disrupting traffic whilst you
protect your people who manually have
to take readings. Via IoT devices and BLE
this same gathering of data could be done
in seconds with no need to intervene
unless anomalies are detected. Cutting
time on investigative work and being able
to deploy key people in the right location
at the right time gaining huge business

savings as well as having the collation
of ongoing data. This example can be
transferred to numerous industries with
numerous assets.
The powerful insight of data manipulation
and analysis can develop the ability to
work on a greater understanding and
predictive modelling that can maintain
an organisation at the forefront of their
industry. The art of effective analysis comes
down to the ability to acquire quality data.
The data is the foundation to realising
many aspirations around insight and
knowledge that most organisations require
for their future strategies. Of course, IIoT
requires investment, but investment in the
foundations can only lead to a strong base
to build upon.
