STRAIGHT TALKING

of using the IoT in this case is that the
continuous collection of data establishes
a baseline, which in turn allows the system
to identify abnormal behavior and help
prevent heat strokes. In addition, it allows
the construction-site operator to prevent
workers from entering dangerous areas
and stop their work if the amount of
activity rises above a certain level. The
reduction in construction-site accidents
helps the operator win additional
construction projects.
Another area in which the IoT can
tremendously improve quality of life is
with the elderly, specifically to help them
move around safely. For example, Fujitsu
has added IoT components to our RT.
WORK's Assist Cart, to provide a complete
solution for elderly people who cannot
walk unaided. The Assist Cart has various
embedded sensors that track the walker's
movements, allowing the cart to respond
quickly to what the person needs for a
safer walk.
For example, when the person approaches
a downward slope, the Assist Cart will
automatically slow down or brake to help

the person maintain control. Its sensors
are not limited to environmental factors;
they can assess specific health conditions,
as well. For example, if the person has
trouble moving one leg, the Assist
Cart can adjust the distance for each
step to accommodate the unevenness
of the individual's walk. In the case of
someone undergoing rehabilitation
therapy, that kind of adjustment ensures
faster recovery. In fact, the Assist Cart's
responsiveness, based on real-time data,
makes all the difference between just
getting general support from a walking
aid and getting a customized assist-
exactly what the person needs when he
or she needs it.
This use of the IoT to personalize and
improve an experience for individuals is
what we can anticipate seeing more of in
the future. Personalization will help in very
different situations, from allowing more
freedom of movement for the elderly to
providing the information that a shopper
needs at a certain point in time.
The key for a good shopping experience
is one in which the customer is made

A SIDE BENEFIT OF USING THE IoT TO
MAKE REAL-TIME IMPROVEMENTS TO
A PRODUCTION LINE IS INCREASING
THE MOTIVATION OF wORKERS ON THE
FACTORY FLOOR. PUTTING THEM IN
CONTROL EMPOwERS THEM AND MAKES
THEM FEEL MORE VALUABLE AS THEY GET
INVOLVED IN UNDERSTANDING THE DATA
AND ACTING ON IT.
