How Utilities Get Value with the Artificial Intelligence of Things

The true value from IoT data is realized when it's combined with advanced analytics and AI. AIoT – the Artificial Intelligence of Things – is all about applying AI to data from smart devices and environments connected by the Internet of Things (IoT). There are many definitions of AI, but I like this one: AI is the science of training systems to perform human tasks through learning and automation. With AI, machines can (1) learn from experience, (2) adjust to new inputs and (3) accomplish specific tasks without manual intervention. From back office operations to drone-based line inspections, there are tremendous efficiencies to be gained in the utilities industry through automation with the assistance of intelligence algorithms on IoT data.
