IoT has promised to transform the physical world but that promise is thus far been unfulfilled due to complexity and cost of monitoring hardware hindering scalability. There has been a step change in the cost and simplicity of monitoring hardware which has now unlocked the potential to disrupt the $80bn facilities management market. Infogrid allows IoT to finally scale by providing easy access to scalable data delivered through third party low-cost, long-lived, easily deployable hardware combined with their intuitive software platform. There solution generates big cost savings across a number of facilities management use cases ranging from temperature checking (cold storage), people counting, pipe monitoring (legionella), tracking toilet usage, air quality, door and window monitoring. The end result is safer and more ESG optimised buildings, - and thus a greener world.
