The challenge of connected farms and data for agriculture – 10.03

Today, the IoT has already entered the farms with more and more equipment. However, the exploitation and processing of data are still underdeveloped. The CCPA group, a specialist in animal nutrition and health, has been looking for a few years to leverage the data from its connected farms to help cooperatives and breeders to use Big Data. CCPA has therefore launched several projects in this direction, including one with Keyrus, which aims at collecting sensor data in order to set up an industrializable model capable of receiving and consolidating heterogeneous data.

IoT: Bouygues Construction Matériel to equip 20,000 devices with sensors – 09.03

Bouygues Construction has partnered with Objenious, Omniscient and Actility to install “Abeeway” sensors on more than 20,000 pieces of construction equipment in order to have a set of data available to better manage its fleet. Every day, Bouygues Construction has to dispatch thousands of pieces of equipment on time to numerous construction sites in France, and also check that the equipment is in good condition. Thanks to the efficiency gains, Bouygues Construction expects to achieve between 5 and 10% savings each year.

Seoul to expand real-time green parking space sharing service – 12.03

In Seoul, green parking lots were introduced in 2004 as part of efforts to solve parking problems in residential areas by encouraging individuals to convert their property or part of it into a parking space. Seoul recently announced that it will expand the service by placing IoT sensors on each parking space to show real-time availability to app users. Individuals will be able to benefit from the use of the onboard camera to improve the security of their home.
