Smart Connections between the Internet of Things

Smart Interconnectivity

The first element of smart instrumentation creates the foundation for smart interconnectivity. Smart interconnectivity takes data from smart sensors, actuators and other data streams to create smarter systems for households and businesses, putting people in control of their technology.

For example, the Shaspa Smart Thermostat for residential and commercial users is built on smart interconnectivity. Traditional thermostats only use room temperature to regulate heating or cooling relative to a set point. Our Smart Thermostat regulates heating using a range of relevant data including temperature, humidity, occupation levels and the weather. Through Shaspa’s smart algorithms the Thermostat is more efficient, saving money and improving comfort in the home or workplace.

Smart interconnectivity makes a range of services possible, such as:

Energy Demand Response – devices can be switched off or on depending on factors such as the price of energy or load on the grid
Automated home security and comfort – triggered by updates or location information from mobile phones or the car
Optimisation of customer choices – helping run appliances more effectively, for example a washing machine sensing hard/soft water and using the internet to discover the best detergent and optimal washing programme to use

Shaspa’s Service Delivery Framework takes smart instrumentation data from the Shaspa Bridge, and stores, analyses and takes action through a robust, scalable, cloud-based system.

Smart instruments and smart interconnectivity both combine to allow Shaspa to create Smart Shared Spaces.

Smart Building

Carbon emissions from buildings, such as those from air conditioning, heating and lighting, account for approximately 40% of the carbon footprint in most industrial countries. Legislation will increasingly oblige organisations to reduce the carbon footprint of their property portfolio(s). Local renewable energy sources, which may include micro-generation, combined heat and power and waste to- energy [...]

Carbon Dashboard

Shaspa delivers a “carbon dashboard” so that organisations can see how they meet targets to reduce emissions and quantify the environmental and financial benefits. When a company outsources building management it defines a service level agreement which may include certain parameters, such as emission levels. The service provider supplies the information about emissions as part [...]

Shaspa 3D Operations Centers

The Shaspa 3D Virtual Operations Centers represent the next level of innovation and green technology offered by the Shaspa solution. The Virtual Operations Center renders the many dimensions of the facilities and operations management into an immersive 3D virtual world. The 3D environment is customized according to unique requirements, and can be delivered as classic [...]

Social Energy Meter

Your Social Energy Meter can be displayed on a web page or mobile device. Or how about displayed on a networked designer lamp that changes colour based on energy consumption data? The two-colour display can be set to compare things such as: – Current energy usage vs previous usage (self to self or self to [...]

Social Networks

Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr and Google Latitude are examples of modern communication channels that create collective power for change. Shaspa social networks create opportunities for collective creativity in the development and visualisation of next generation Shaspa applications, which bring societal benefits through collective action and responsibility. These consumer technologies are having an impact on [...]
