Sensors, buildings and the coming Internet of Things

Connected, intelligent devices are poised to redefine the industry, changing the way we eat, drive, communicate, receive medical care, light our cities and consume energy.

Have you heard of the Internet of Things (IOT)? Experts predict that in a few years, there could be 100 billion devices - actual and physical things - connected to the World Wide Web. Some of these devices are online today. Many more are coming soon.

 

In the IOT, devices equipped with sensors, hardware and software are networked together through the Internet where they can communicate with each other, machine-to-machine.  For example:

 

  • Sensors embedded in roads will control traffic flow.
  • Vending machines will tell us when they need to be refilled.
  • A heart patient's pacemaker will alert her cardiologist to a problem before it becomes dangerous.

 

In the world of building efficiency, machine-to-machine communications, coupled with sophisticated tools like Panoptix® from Johnson Controls, will help building managers do their jobs better by analyzing massive amounts of data and turning it into useful information. For example:

 

  • Interconnected units of equipment will work together to find the most efficient way to heat or cool a facility without human intervention.
  • Machines will diagnose their own need for maintenance which will be scheduled automatically.

 

Total integration will become a reality.
