Disruption is one of the most used words in the business world. But what does it really mean?

When technology began to emerge, there was a great rush to connect everything. Now companies have gone from this dispersed approach. Data is a new commercial staple, and, as technology has matured, so has the way to use this data. The connection is now implemented and used in a more strategic way, to solve problems and provide more specific and specific solutions every day.

Today’s businesses are evolving within a networked economy, with millions of companies connecting their suppliers, customers, and partners to engage transparently and take advantage of technologies that can connect hundreds of millions of people and devices together

The Internet of things is the catalyst for hyper-connectivity in the business world. With the Internet of Things, we can monitor, analyze, and automate our day-to-day tasks to improve processes and create new business models. Employers, particularly management, must learn to interpret detailed metrics related to the behavior of each client, as well as each worker and the progress of their business.

Smartphones, laptops, home theatres are all common examples. Let’s consider an innovative manifestation of IoT devices, and in this case, we use the example of home automation and smart controllers by Cielo WiGle. The company deals in smart controllers for air conditioners, allowing users to control their devices with ease of automation.

Cielo Smart Wi-Fi AC controllers work for all air conditioner types: mini-splits, portables, and window a/cs. The device allows you to control your system from anywhere, anytime. It also smartly navigates the temperature, if it is getting too hot or cold. At the same time, it has proven to be well effective in energy conservation with the help of intelligent triggers, geo-fencing, filter cleaning notifications, etc.

Advantages of IoT devices

Process automation

Automation is one of the great advances of IoT. As an entrepreneur or manager, you must distinguish between the time spent on really important tasks and those that, although necessary for the company to function, are not directly aligned with your strategic objectives. For the latter case, finding mechanisms that automate certain repetitive tasks ends up saving time and labor.

Depth metrics

The metrics offer valuable information that, properly processed using analytical systems and visualization software, mark the key paths. If you currently use conventional communication channels such as voice, email, or even videoconferencing, and want to take them to a whole new level of interaction, start looking for technology that develops new IoT devices to acquire unimaginable interaction data.

More flexible workforces

In addition to smart factories, we can also talk about ‘smart offices’ and ‘smart warehouses.’ From the moment that the interconnection of the devices can include any type of element, our workforce will be able to experience more versatile forms of work.

Increased productivity

The IoT devices will facilitate an increase in productivity and a reduction in IT budgets in all companies that know how to interpret their possibilities. Perhaps a priori, when thinking about implementing sensors and updating devices and networks to improve your platforms, costs can be high. Do it little by little. Companies that gradually incorporate improvements see immediate benefits. Automation means effectively solving the problems to which you previously had to devote time and manual effort.

Preventive maintenance with M2M communication

M2M communications, which lay the foundation for IoT, help reduce the costs of the entire production chain. When IoT becomes a product of everyday life, it will be even easier to manage everything remotely.

More optimized data analysis

IoT opens the door to new ways to win customers, to evolve the way we operate in the market, and to innovative business management models. Despite the complexity inherent in IoT, the benefits of the analysis are immediate in the form of operational efficiencies, differentiated and improved customer service, the creation of new products and services, and the development of new business models.
