Fully 84 percent of Internet of Things adopters surveyed by Savanta say IoT was “a key factor in maintaining business continuity” during the Covid-19 pandemic. IoT has helped by improving operational efficiency and creating new connected products and services, the report says.
Savanta surveyed 1,639 businesses globally about how they’re using IoT now, on behalf of Vodafone.
One example was use of IoT sensor data to allow semiconductor engineers to work remotely in Singapore, Vodafone says. An energy firm in Ireland was able to continue monitoring outside plant when technicians were unable to visit the sites in person.
Vodafone also argues that IoT can help office managers manage social distancing as people return to the office. “The V-Space solution allows us to manage occupancy in real-time and understand where people are and whether we are maintaining social distancing,” says Richard Muraszko of Vodafone Group property.
“V-Space also gathers data about energy use, air quality and desk occupancy, allowing us to manage the use of space and plan our real estate for the future,” he says. The system uses IoT to connect anonymous motion sensors located at each desk, as well as energy and environment management devices.
The gathered data allows building manager to quickly identify busy areas and ensure social distancing takes place, Vodafone says.
