IoT Integrator

Artificial intelligence is becoming a critical part of many industries from healthcare to manufacturing, and now it’s tackling sports organizations. The NFL, NBA, and MLB all are using AI and computer vision technology to improve their games.  

Social assistive robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) develop social skills while fostering appropriate behavior and communication.  

Drones with integrated cameras, machine learning analysis, and low-latency live streaming are protecting Australia’s beachgoers from shark attacks and crocodile encounters. The same technology enables rescue efforts for swimmers and surfers in distress, while providing information about marine life and habitats.  

EOS Linx has built a connected, intelligent digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising and EV charging station solution that has an appealing caveat: it is free to install and can generate revenue from ads streaming on its digital screen. The solution is targeted at a wide variety of public and private entities, including municipalities, retailers, hotels, and utilities.  

As travel and tourism make a post-pandemic comeback, hotels and event centers are transforming operations to provide a safe, contactless and efficient guest experience. Digital signage and interactive wayfinding are becoming fast-growing solution areas for hospitality, as they can direct guests to all the amenities and services the facility has to offer while being mindful of rapidly evolving health requirements.  

Self-driving shuttles bring environmentally friendly transportation options to smart cities. Loaded with artificial intelligence and IoT technologies, these vehicles are primed to change metro transit.  

Executives at Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company haven’t always given data the respect it deserves. When Rob Roemers took over as Head of Data and Analytics, his goal was to open their eyes and change their minds. Roemers defined quick-win business use cases that proved IoT data and analytics saved the organization money and made riders happy. Slowly but surely, the culture is changing as more people realize the power of data.  

Machine learning and image processing are integral to smart factories, but privacy remains a concern. A computer vision solution with integrated anonymization capabilities satisfies regulators and enables employees to better train AI models.  

For solution integrators to succeed in the wild frontier of the IoT ecosystem, they often need to start with vetted, pre-built solutions. Using repeatable solutions vs. starting from scratch can help data-driven, edge computing projects get off the ground faster–and generate value sooner. To see how that’s done, our editors checked in with an expert in AI and IoT market-ready solutions, Intel’s Rob Risany. Hear Risany’s advice for solution integrators who are grappling with the often-asked question: should we buy or build?     

An industrial mower equipped with computer vision and data analytics keeps roadsides clear of grass, while preserving insect habitats, saplings, and high-quality grass clippings. Drivers and property owners get real-time information and ecological insights.
