Our systems are designed to support Monitoring and Control on any scale, small or large. At a city level, BuildTrack frameworks are being deployed to centralize monitoring of multiple buildings for fire and other fire safety elements. How important are IOT and smart automation for the real-estate industry? One of the fastest growing segments of IoT is its application to Real Estate to improve aspects of Safety, Security, Comfort, Convenience, Energy Efficiency and Operating Efficiency. Most new homes in the coming decade will be smart homes, enabled by IoT; these homes allow the residents to be connected to them and appliances within, even when they are not at home. Most buildings will be smart buildings as well, such that the expensive assets from pumps, motors to elevators are monitored for efficient performance and being able to extend their performance lifetimes as well. The data generated on operations in commercial real-estate such as Offices and enterprises will serve them to operate better in terms of space utilization, energy utilization and safety, security and well-being of the employees.
