#AskIoTWorld Question #4:

How do I start my IoT Project?

Response:

Simple answer – it depends on where do you stand? Assuming that you have the necessary knowledge and skills to develop an IoT project, take the following steps:

1. Go out there and find a business case. Good market research report can give an indication but the market can be different in different countries. Thus, you need to be out there and find a real business case. Talk to the industry, talk to the customers and listen to their pain points.
2. The low hanging fruit is to replace manual labor with remote monitoring. Costs can be greatly reduced. No more traveling costs and time-consuming data gathering. By doing this, you are also benchmarking their operations.
3. The best part of benchmarking is that you can now introduce more sensors, actuators, analytics to gain better insights and thus ROI can be easily seen and predict.

This is just the beginning of your IoT journey. Take a simple step forward, understand their business case, learn, change if it doesn’t work, expand if it begins to show the ROI.

What if you can use Internet of Things (IoT) to capture the perfect photos of the stars? What if it can ease your Astronomical instrumentation operation? These are some of the questions we asked ourselves when Shahrin Ahmad of Falak Online came to visit FAVORIOT, we explored several opportunities how IoT can play a role in Astronomy landscape. Shahrin is a creative Astronomy speaker for outreach events.  He is an experienced System developer for integrating astronomical instruments (telescopes, mounts, imagers ) and software, specifically on .NET framework. He had done many strategic consultations works on Astronomy to local agencies, universities, and schools. Shahrin is also the Owner and content provider for Malaysia’s Astronomy web portal, FalakOnline.

The possibilities of applying Internet of Things in different industries are endless. When you connect your most important asset, it will benefit not only the maker of the asset but also the users, other products and it’s surrounding environment.

Literally, watch this “Space” in the future.
