Imagine if all sensors and control mechanisms – of which there are thousands in large buildings – could be operated intelligently and in coordination with one another. This would avoid miscommunication between the sensor and thermostat, for example, and heating systems would not operate at full blast when windows were open. How can this be achieved, however? Firstly, with frictionless communication and, secondly, with clear identification of all participating sensors and control mechanisms

The FutureIOT platform captures and connects data from the real world. It can be used to coordinate processes and to monitor and optimize infrastructure. This is useful for a variety of applications, including animal health, parking space management, air quality measurement and connected sensor technology for fields. Dr. Christine Funk from Fraunhofer IIS is managing the joint project that brings together 29 companies and authorities as well as 11 partners from the scientific sector in Bavaria. Funded by the Bavarian Research Foundation, the project ran until the end of July 2021. In the video, IIS Executive Director Prof. Albert Heuberger explains how the platform benefits people and the environment.
