Key to its ability to help with the reduction of energy consumption is how IoT provides consistent tracking of data, including how power is being used by entities.<\/p>\n
South African IoT company, IoT.nxt<\/strong><\/a>, has proven how this can successfully reduce power usage through a project it has run in the United States.<\/p>\n IoT.nxt has partnered with MinimiseUSA on a project that has reduced energy consumption at Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida, USA.<\/p>\n The project has not only saved capital on minimising energy usage, but also through reducing the maintenance that is required for light replacements and services; this is estimated to be around $335,236 per annum for Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida.<\/p>\n As of April 2019, the project\u2019s installation of new LED lights was saving schools, across Florida, $335,236 per annum.<\/p>\n The School District was given a cheque for $1,728,923 in prepaid savings, as result of 15,574MWh predicted savings \u2013 a great step towards protecting the environment.<\/p>\n In fact, 15,574 MWh is such a big saving that you could use it to power over 14 thousand family households for an entire year.<\/p>\n In May and beyond, MinimiseUSA and IoT.nxt have continued to use the data attained from implementing this system to refine the smart scheduling of various electronic devices at these schools.<\/p>\n South Africa\u2019s energy problems are incredibly well-documented.<\/p>\n We have suffered regular load-shedding due to Eskom\u2019s struggles to keep up with electricity demands.<\/p>\n Eskom has also had to drastically increase the price of electricity in a bid to pay back a portion of its large debt.<\/p>\n As a result, solutions such as the one implemented by IoT.nxt<\/strong><\/a> in Florida could be instrumental in saving South African businesses money through reduced energy usage, while simultaneously saving the environment.<\/p>\n IoT.nxt is a leading South African IoT company that is capable of helping businesses across industries, systems, and processes.<\/p>\n They are partnered with a variety of reputable tech companies such as Microsoft, IBM, SAP, Deloitte, Dell, Fujitsu and HP Enterprise.<\/p>\n Through IoT.nxt\u2019s technologies, businesses can develop a digital overview of their organisation \u2013 including both their new and old technologies \u2013 to draw insight into how their connected devices are operating.<\/p>\n They provide rapid deployment, and can offer your business an unprecedented ROI.<\/p>\n To learn more about what they can offer your business, click here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nMinimiseUSA<\/h3>\n
