Vivariums, greenhouse, fungi and mushroom growth, hydroponic facilities, etc.

Signals that autonomously and consistently decide among all of them, the optimal message, according to the changing conditions of the environment and the punctual requirements such as emergency situations.

Each element is able to periodically report its state and location in order to facilitate its use, maintenance and management. For example, where the closest operative defibrillator can be found.

Being able to know, in real time, parameters such as vibration and overload in bridges, footbridges, tunnels, etc. This allows improved management, programming maintenance, and manage critical situations effectively.

Being able to know, in real time, not only classical meteorological parameters, but also others that have great impact in life quality for the citizens such as ambient noise, light radiation, air quality, polen levels, etc.

Being able to know the conditions of containers allows not only to optimize deadlines and collection routes, but also to manage emergency situations such as fires or vandalism.

Having information on illumination systems (consumption, brightness levels, etc) allows automatic adjustments depending on real conditions (not only depending on the time), improving the service at a lower cost. Maintenance operations are consequently simplified.

Connecting different types of alarms (smoke detectors, temperature, trespass, etc)  both private and public to one analysis system, allows a better detection and emergency management.

Real time monitoring of parking spots and public spaces, allows a better use of them by citizens, improves traffic and reduces pollution levels.

By using integrated counting sensors, vehicle identifiers and speed sensors, information can be generated  along with other Smart City Systems (signaling, parking, alarms, etc) optimizing traffic.

Having an insight on the level of pedestrian transit through specific sensors along with the digital fingerprint of smartphones and wearable devices, allows a more efficient management of the city.

Monitoring environmental conditions of a building allows to control energetic  and climatic installations in an efficient way while comfort stays optimal.

Offering help to the user for guidance or using the building in a more efficient way, according to their specific needs, especially in critical situations such as emergencies.

Having data regarding the physical infrastructure of a building works as an optimal mechanism to monitor structural health, planning management, prevent accidents and emergencies management.

Common areas and access levels management, defining who can be where and who has exit and entering permissions. This can be critical in places such as care homes.

Integration of different systems and sensors of the building, allows having real time information for preventing, detecting and managing emergency situations.

A building that knows in real time where their users and elements (furniture, equipment, etc.) are can provide plenty of contextualized services (facilities guidance, finding equipment, user rescue in emergency situations, etc).

Remotely having access to the machinery to get information about its conditions, perform self diagnostics, modify operation parameters and improve interoperability between machines that work together.

Obtaining information about the production process without modifying it allows identification of points that need optimization as well as ensuring quality process and preventing possible failures.

Monitoring environmental conditions, particularly air quality (nocive gases such as Ozone, Carbon Monoxide, etc) to guarantee a safe and comfortable workspace.

Dynamically monitoring energy and material fluxes (both consumption and  production) allows to know the instant situation and to identify loss or inefficiency. On the long term, this improves profitability.

Advanced services based on location and context can be generated. For example restricted areas management, automatic alarm creation, contextualized information generation that can be individually adapted to each worker.

Being able to know every moment the location and conditions(temperature, humidity, vibration levels) that the goods are being transported in, sending warnings in case of a inadequate handling. For example, breaking the cold chain.

Real time warehouse location information of certain goods, automatic management of store and shipping instructions, alarms in the case of non-authorized handling, are some services that IoT can provide.

These elements are able to automatically send notifications to the user when a parcel is received (or manage a shipment) and facility collection.

This device, which is «aware» of its location in the warehouse, can simply elaborate purchase orders of the elements stored in that location.

It is possible to improve river and aquifers use and conditions, identifying human activity impact. This can be done by the means of certain parameters such as flow speed, well levels, water composition, etc. 

By increasing available information from these environments, a better understanding of their vital cycles can be laid out, how these have an impact on the global environment and how human activities affect them.

Understanding atmospheric mechanics, human activity impact on it, and disaster prevention (such as hurricanes, monsoon, etc) requires precise and real-time information from multiple points, even hard access ones.

Monitoring both facility (water flow, pressure, etc) and intrinsic water (opacity, salinity, pH, etc.) parameters results in better efficiency and quality.

Parameter monitoring (flow, pressure, turbidity, etc) in this infrastructures guarantees water quality while optimizing management, maintenance and minimizing losses.

A correct monitoring according to the environment (forests, mountains, valleys, etc.) can prevent, detect and efficiently manage risk situations such as fires, avalanches, earthquakes, floods, etc.

In order to protect an environment of species, knowing their current state is critical so their evolution can be studied. This can help in identification of offensive factors and study how to contain them.

Determining how, when and what activities someone develops in a daily basis, can be useful to have an insight on their health conditions. This can be critical when servicing dependant people or individuals with cognitive disorders, mainly in emergency situations such as falls.

Keep control and generate alarms related to the location of children or cognitive impaired individuals that get lost.

Encourage citizens to be enactors and consumers of information, raising awareness on both the pros and dangers related to IoT. Digitally empowering citizens for a better development, use and enjoyment of their city.

These are devices created to be worn by people and that can extract lots of information (activity, physiological variables, interaction with other devices, etc.). In general, they are oriented to offer new services (communications, leisure, etc.) or improve the owner’s quality of life (health tracking, alert generation, etc.).

Establishing behavioral patterns on how customers move around in a shop, what catches their attention and how they interact with products.

Client adapted information according to their tastes and location that can notify limited offers when passing by the store.

Remote and automatic update of price tags. Also, RFID tags give additional information about the product to the consumers.

IoT technologies can provide gamification experiences for the clients (interactive discovery of hidden products, itinerary games, interaction with other users, etc.). These experiences search for customer loyalty by the means of an active participation, often offering gifts or discounts.
