Data is a powerful tool, but it’s only useful to you if it is accurate. If your sensors are inaccurate, they can provide false readings, giving you bad information about what’s going on in your environment. However, if you don’t monitor the live status of your sensors, you may lose lots of valuable data, which will impact the accuracy and quality of your data.
Sensor data can provide huge benefits.
Sensor data is a powerful resource for making better decisions, improving processes and operations, improving quality, and reducing risk. It can be used to:
- Identify key areas for improvement by analysing historical data and identify opportunities to reduce the space you need or repurpose it to enable greater productivity.
- Improve decision-making by using fact-based data to support key optimisation strategies within your portfolio, taking the guesswork out of the decision.
- Track space use with a clear view of your historical trends over time, supporting your businesses with information that presents the utilisation levels for their space.
- Working with the data and the business on efficiency targets reduces space use, saves money, and lowers carbon emissions.
Improve efficiency by identifying underutilised space and other opportunities for improvement.
If you don’t monitor the sensors, you will have issues.
Monitoring your sensors is critical to the successful operation of your system. If you don’t monitor what’s happening with your sensors, an issue could go undetected. For example, if a sensor stops sending data, it will reduce the accuracy of your data. Monitoring also tells you if a sensor has been tampered with; this will help keep your system running smoothly and efficiently.
At Spaceology, we provide a full service as part of our sensor deployment. Unlike other organisations, we are not here to sell you a box and walk away. After working with you to identify the issues you want to resolve, we implement the right solution. We work with your internal teams to ensure they know the system setup and functionality. We also monitor the system for you to ensure any issues are raised quickly and work with your teams to resolve them immediately. This reduces the issue of data loss and inaccuracy significantly.
Loss of Sensor data can impact your decisions.
Loss of sensor data can significantly impact the ability to make informed decisions about how to improve the performance of a building and reduce costs. Sensor data provides real-time information on occupancy, utilization, and environmental conditions, which is critical for making decisions about optimising the building’s systems and reducing energy consumption.
Data loss and inaccuracy can occur for a variety of reasons. Here are three examples:
- A sensor goes offline due to a power outage or failure.
- A sensor has been tampered with and provides inaccurate data.
- An application fails to send the data to its intended destination, and it is lost in transit
Spaceology conducts data checks on all sensors and system technology, looking for missing data transmission sequences and maintaining the system’s live status.
Your sensor data is only good if it is accurate.
Your sensor data is only good if it is accurate. Inaccurate data can lead to bad decisions and lost opportunities. If you don’t monitor the sensors in your infrastructure, you will have data accuracy issues. This can impact your whole business strategy and lead to delays in delivering efficiency savings.
To get the most use out of your data, it’s important that you know how to properly monitor its accuracy so that any errors don’t affect future decisions or cause a problem with how well things function overall. Our open and transparent approach to the deployment and status of the sensor system is key in providing confidence to the client in the decisions they make.
Conclusion
In conclusion, accuracy and monitoring are key factors to ensure that data is reliable and useful for your business. When you’re considering the accuracy of your data, it’s important to remember that it’s not just about avoiding mistakes in quantity or quality; it’s also about ensuring that you understand what information is relevant to your business and making sure that it gets collected consistently across all channels. Spaceology’s full sensor solution service has been developed to ensure our data is accurate, consistent and reliable for our customers.
