At DotMobi we believe the internet of things (IOT) is going to revolutionize many things.
First manufacturers will be able to easily monitor the performance of their products and even be able possibly to be able to determine which products would be for instance be serviced under warranty. This will be possible by fitting an IOT device in the product with capability of monitoring parameters such as status of the voltage supply, temperature, humidity and so and sending these parameters to the manufacturer for analysis and action. Those in the greenhouses will also benefit from IOT technology and many others.
What are the key features of an IOT device? There are three key features that make an IOT device suitable for most applications requiring monitoring of various industrial, agricultural, commercial and security parameters. First the IOT device, electrical power consumption is very low enabling an IOT device to operate on batteries long life spanning five years and above. The cost of data transmission is also very affordable, at about US$10 per year for transmission of 140 messages per day. Additionally reading of the devices has been made easy as all the messages are retrievable from IOT network provider cloud via HTTP based API.
At Dotmobi we believe there are many life situations that can be handled via the use of IOT. In line with this belief, we have developed two IOT products, IOT smart water meter and IOT weighing scale tampering guard.
