In the technology space, it’s vital that your organization stay on top of prevailing trends in your respective industry. This extends to keeping tabs on the competition or, if you’re seeking a solution provider, weighing your options. That’s why ABI Research released its 40 Technology Companies To Watch In 2023 whitepaper to better understand which tech firms are winning in terms of innovation and implementation of their technology products/software.
More than 50,000 technology innovators and decision makers rely on ABI Research for deep insight and analysis of transformational technologies and key markets. In addition, we also provide an impartial and expert perspective on the companies that are shaping these technologies and industries.
Creating a smart environment is impossible without a thorough, real-time awareness of conditions and fluctuations within a building. And sensors are a key component in gathering the required real-time intelligence. After the enduring impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic, commercial building management systems are held to new standards as many companies transition back to the office. For example, occupancy sensing is important for designing smaller, more flexible workspaces for hybrid environments.
Up to this point, urban planners have mostly used digital twins for operations, management, and maintenance of assets and services. But increasingly, urban planning has gone beyond these digital twin use cases and involves design and planning for now and the future (sustainability). For example, recent survey findings from U.S.-based IT firm Altair showed that digital twins help 92% of organizations with their sustainability goals.
As cities account for the majority of carbon emissions on our planet, sustainability efforts should start here. And what better way to see green initiatives, projects, and investment programs in action than to check out seven real-world examples of the most sustainable cities in the world?
As pointed out in our recent blog post, decarbonizing urban transportation is crucial in creating and maintaining a sustainable city. Many metropolitan areas have come a long way in Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption, but the work toward sustainable mobility does not end there. Indeed, officials and operators should also consider the usefulness of micromobility, smart parking applications, and urban traffic management for the future of transportation.
By 2027, the smart home hardware market will be a US$18 billion opportunity in Asia-Pacific, an industry that has historically been dominated by the North American market and its vendors. However, that trend is over and vendors will increasingly have to adapt their smart home strategies and products in response to the impact of developing Chinese and Asia-Pacific smart home markets.
More than 70% of global carbon emissions come from cities, making metro regions the starting point for decarbonization efforts. To tackle climate change, city planners must pay close attention to the characteristics of the energy grid, building infrastructure, transportation, and waste management. In this post, we walk you through how to make a city more sustainable through these four key areas.
