Remote asset monitoring is an area of IoT that relies on wireless connectivity to help companies monitor connected assets to optimize their efficiency and effectiveness. With IoT-powered remote asset monitoring, businesses can continuously monitor connected assets to collect valuable data, gauge performance, and detect problems before they occur.
IoT-powered remote asset monitoring is crucial for businesses like car dealerships, banks, and retail stores who rely on outdoor lighting and signage to attract customers. It is also critical for cities who rely on remote assets like street lighting, public transit illumination, and surveillance cameras to keep their residents safe. From the person pumping their gas, to the high school quarterback scoring the winning touchdown, remote assets illuminate our lives.
By automatically collecting, storing, and analyzing data through cloud-based technology, IoT-powered remote asset monitoring can provide valuable insights to businesses that lead to cost savings and energy conservation. It also allows them to monitor parameters like temperature, humidity, battery and power consumption, and orientation for better asset functioning. IoT powered sensors embedded in a device then utilize wireless connectivity to communicate that data to ensure vital services like outdoor lighting are not disrupted for businesses, cities, and residents.
Challenge
The challenge in orchestrating remote asset monitoring is reliable connectivity. Outdoor signage, sometimes equipped with SIMs for wireless connectivity, have embedded sensors that transmit data, such as battery and bulb life, back to businesses who can then deploy a technician if an asset is malfunctioning or completely out of service. Without reliable connectivity, businesses would have no way of knowing whether an asset was functioning properly, aside from paying someone to constantly keep watch, which would prove costly and unsustainable. To make their solution viable for cities and businesses, remote asset monitoring companies had to connect their technology seamlessly and infallibly. Delivering reliable connectivity requires a solution that will ensure a stable connection is constantly maintained so the various parts of the system are able to communicate with one another effectively.
