Internet of Things (IoT) can significantly reduce carbon EMISSIONS by making business and industry more efficient. “By managing street lights more efficiently you can save approximately 40% of ENERGY used to make them run,” Will Franks says.

ill Ruh, vice-president of GE Software, agrees. “We have created 40 applications,” says Ruh. “ONE of these, PowerUp, uses sensors to collect WEATHER and performance data from wind turbines to enable operators to generate up to 5% more electricity without physically changing it, which generates 20% more PROFIT for our customers.”
