Automotive Industry How the Automotive Industry Use Internet of Things (IoT) Technology? by vervesys February 28, 2019 it workThere is no way anyone could think of the Internet of Things (IoT) when thinking about the automotive industry. Usually, automobile manufacturers integrate technology at a far slower pace than other industries. With the recent innovations in IoT, however, the technological zeitgeist that promises safety, convenience, and customization, the automobile industry is fully poised to take advantage of this new age technology. Here are some ways in which IoT provides solutions for the automotive industry: As more automotive designers implement IoT into their designs, more and smarter cars are manufactured. Smart cars enabled with IoT are the latest trend in the automotive industry and let’s face it, there’s no slowing down. Statistics show that around 381 million smart cars will be connected with IoT devices by 2020. Transportation in 2018 was driven by software – from apps that can predict traffic patterns in real time to guidance systems that can avoid accidents based on communication between vehicles, the IoT approach is completely revolutionizing how people get from one place to another. Automobile makers are now working hand in hand with software developers to create a transformation in the way thing work for the industry. IoT is not only tied to the direct functioning of the vehicle. It can also act as a way of mitigating driver behavior. Auto insurance companies are also using IoT to monitor the driver’s habits. When IoT is integrated into transportation, third-party insurance companies can gain more insights about the driver – such as metrics as the time of the day when the vehicle was driven, distance traveled per day, speeding and braking habits etc. With this information, insurance companies can base their premiums off of the drivers’ habits. IoT also offers a more convenient way to drive. IoT is revolutionizing the automotive industry and will definitely improve at least some aspects of our lives.
Automotive Industry How IoT is improving transportation? by vervesys February 21, 2019 it workTransportation and logistics are essential components to many businesses – sometimes by air, by ground or by sea. To track performance and quality of services, access to real-time data is essential and critical. Inefficiencies caused due to lack of visibility could cause real damages in terms of costs. There are a number of factors such as the unpredictable nature of fuel costs, rising labor costs, unpredictable traffic and many times a changing regulatory environment that make operations especially challenging in the transportation industry – and profitability are threatened. In order to improve operational efficiency and performance, it is essential that businesses get visibility into personnel, equipment, and transactions – real time. The Internet of Things along with mobile technologies has made it possible for businesses to track all this data and improve efficiency. With the right IoT solution, enterprises can connect all the devices across a centralized cloud network and capture mission-critical data by gaining real-time visibility into operations. This data provides actionable insights so that they can base their strategies on factual data and make improvements. End to end visibility In order to reach a level of performance, businesses need to make an end to end improvements. With IoT, they get improved visibility that facilitates more effective, timely decisions that reduce delays because issues are detected sooner. They get real-time data across their entire supply chain leading to more informed decisions. Warehouse and yard management Warehouses or yards are the core of the transportation and logistics business and their efficiency directly impacts the entire business. IoT enabled mobile devices are designed to track inventory data, equipment, and vehicles. Warehouses can capture the right data that ensures that the right products get to the right places at the right time. By reducing human intervention and enabling more machine-to-machine information sharing, enterprises can greatly increase efficiency and accuracy. Fleet management Fleet management plays an important role in maintaining schedules, everyday vehicle usage, and service routes. This fleet downtime would mean great losses to the business and hence must be minimized. With real-time access to this data related to maintenance history, parts availability and inventory records, by leveraging from connected mobile devices early detection of potential threats can lead to proactive action and greater efficiency. IoT enables organizations to pinpoint inefficiencies in real time, improving the overall efficiency of operations dramatically.
Artificial Intelligence Rental Marketplace Dedicated To Empowering Consumers by vervesys February 20, 2019 it workRight from property search to construction to signing contracts and rentals – technology has definitely made an inroad into the real estate industry in many ways. All these cumulatively will reshape the future of the real estate industry. Technology facilitates property discovery, map-based location services, amenities based searches, dynamic pricing models, Emi services, online agreements, and 360-degree videos and property bookings. The proliferation of property listing websites has completely changed the face of the rental marketplace too. Here are some ways in which the rental marketplace tech trends are empowering customers: Chatbots: Chatbots make it easy to address simple customer queries. The more advanced chatbots support ‘talk’ instead of ‘text’. People searching for real estate rentals can talk to a chatbot and get easy, accurate and instant answers. Data and analytics: The need for increased personalization and customization gave rise to the use of machine learning and AI in the field of real estate rentals. Analysis of the data captured can give insights and predictive analytics can provide data on homeowners who are more probable to sell – even before they actually do. The IoT: Connecting various devices operating on various technologies – how and where might it impact the real estate industry? For the rental industry, it could mean more connected rental spaces and people looking for rentals. For example, if there is a property for rent (or sale) the mobile device could pick up the signal and inform those in the vicinity looking for rentals. There used to be a time when agents were the only source of information for real estate rentals or sales. Today, with technology, information is readily available and people can get first-hand information – with accurate data and without too much hassle straight from your mobile devices!
Gaming Solutions Unity Framework a boon or Curse for Native App Developers? by vervesys February 15, 2019 it workThe unity framework has gained a lot of attention from game developers due to its quirky features, supportive pricing, and rich features. It has the ability to function as a cross-platform game development tool and saves developers time as they do not need to code for two separate platforms. So, for native app developers, does unity come as a boon or is it perceived as a curse? Over the years, Unity has become one of the best apps for game development. In this era where visual treats are given more preferences, frameworks like Unity can effectively render 2D scenes as well as 3D scenes. It offers high-quality renderings as compared to most of the other available software. Further, unity is cross-platform compatible which means that there is no need to develop separate code for different mobile platforms. Developing native apps demands a lot of effort. Further, it is easier to use and has a lot of documentation, making the lives of developers really easy. It’s not as pricy as some of the other platforms too and offers a lot more features. So, why curse? Well, some of the features like render textures; profiler and stencil support which are common in many free tools are paid with Unity. The terrain engine and Movie textures are unnecessarily complicated and the cost of Unity Pro seems quite extravagant. The Unity framework has been, for most of the gaming industry a boon, but some points definitely give it a thumbs-down. Unity is a great platform to create mid-size and small games, but for really big projects, use the more complex tools. But, overall, Unity has been a big hit in the near future for the games development industry.
