IoT and Utilities: A Connected Future

How is IoT impacting the energy and utilities industry?

‍

As Vodafone has mentioned in their product solution paper “Energy and utilities Consumer focus and competitive edge” there are several ways IoT has had an impact on energy and utilities industries. The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the energy and utilities industries by enabling more efficient, intelligent, and responsive systems. IoT devices, such as smart meters, sensors, and connected assets, are being deployed across the grid, allowing utilities to gather and analyze real-time data. This data-driven approach offers numerous benefits.
