One device to
  rule them all
You want to spend your time on validation and not on technology specifics, during a PoC phase. And you want minimum effort for (de-)commissioning and maintenance, during roll–out.

Smart buildings
  & sustainability

Smart buildings can be sustainable buildings. Sustainable buildings are those capable of being efficient in their resource consumption, generate great benefits for their owners, and better fullfil their purposes.
IoT:
  Ideas vs Reality
What does it take to build a reliable IoT network that is not only functional, but also reliable and scalable?
During the 3rd edition of LORIOT Business Connect we invited 3 IoT industry leaders to discuss about what the Integration of Things really means and share their insights, practical tips and best practices.
Language
  Barriers in IoT
The IoT is drastically improving quality of life. However, for developing countries, this is not always the case. Even though we’re living in a technologically advanced era, many of them struggle to catch up to their first-world counterparts and language is one of the barriers. In fact, only a minority has access to English language education.
IoT projects
  graveyards
A large number of IoT projects fail and almost all of them for the same common reasons. By making IoT more accessible and reducing the complexity of those projects, we should automatically reduce the related costs and we might even open the field for many more IoT business cases that have not been economically feasible before.

Industry 4.0
  a new age

The Integration
  of Things
The internet of things is a challenge for the integration of things.
A typical IoT solution requires expertise across a broad scope of information technology fields, it can be challenging to ensure a seamless end to end solution and typically impossible to fulfil all the requirements in-house.
