Our Vision for IoT in 2024

The Internet of Things (IoT) continues to be a pivotal force within our three core verticals. We are dedicated to refining our best practices and fostering innovation. We anticipate prominent trends that will shape the industry and unlock new possibilities.

Agtech

As sustainable agriculture and precision farming gain more attention, the demand for IoT solutions and deployments is set to rise. 

• Food autonomy and local cultivation become possible when done in environments optimized according to continuously collected data,
• Dependency on highly experienced personnel is reduced by increasing automated monitoring and problem detection,
• Sensor technology improves the storage and transportation of products, prolonging freshness, expanding shipping possibilities, and minimizing waste. 

At Axceta, we are dedicated to advancing our IoT platform, providing farmers with invaluable real-time data on soil moisture, weather conditions, and crop yield predictions. This empowers them to make well-informed decisions that optimize their operations and drive success.

Energy

The energy industry is undergoing a transformation with the rise of renewable energy sources and the need for efficient energy management. 

• Cutting-edge technologies like vehicle-to-grid and local energy storage are transitioning from theory to practical application. Evaluating them on a larger scale offers valuable insights into how they can seamlessly integrate into our daily lives.
• The utilization of electrical fleets has become increasingly prevalent across various industries. IoT plays a pivotal role in enabling efficient management of the operation and maintenance of these fleets.
• IoT-powered wind and solar energy production systems have become more accessible and user-friendly, empowering businesses to take control of their energy consumption. This advancement opens up many opportunities for businesses to manage and optimize their energy usage effectively. 

Axceta’s IoT solutions will be vital in monitoring and optimizing energy production, distribution, and consumption.

Mining

Ensuring safety and minimizing environmental impact are of utmost importance in the mining industry. We are dedicated to offering innovative solutions that effectively tackle these concerns. Through our IoT platform, we provide real-time monitoring of worker safety and equipment performance, significantly reducing the risks of accidents and downtime.

• Monitoring the value chain of mining operations involves tracking numerous variables. The more comprehensive our system measurements, the greater the potential we discover to enhance both efficiency and the quality of life for workers.
• Connected mines create new job opportunities, expanding the pool of potential workers available for hiring.
• Connected mines offer the opportunity to share local expertise with foreign installations, facilitating the export of knowledge and capabilities.
• By incorporating AI at the Edge capabilities into our IoT solutions, we can ensure consistent safety even when continuous Cloud connectivity is not feasible. This empowers us to maintain the highest level of security and reliability. Additionally, it enables real-time data analysis and decision-making, increasing efficiency and productivity.
• IoT sensors and AI at the Edge enable advanced analytics of drill cores directly on-site, even without Cloud connectivity. This empowers geologists in their daily tasks and enhances decision-making in mines, making the process more efficient and streamlined.
