Although it is suitable for multiple IoT applications, Micro Technic is positioning Skylark for some specific sectors.
Climate Change:
As the Earth warms, increasingly extreme weather conditions pose a threat to our cities, environments, and infrastructure. Therefore, it is vital to know in advance when and where these changes are occurring in order to take timely action before events become dangerous or worsen. Frank Max Laursen, CEO of Skylark IoT, explains: “Our focus on green energy frees our Skylark IoT datalogger from the need for a traditional power source, meaning the devices can be deployed in the highest mountains, the stormiest coastal areas, or the most remote regions of the world.”
solutions Skylark enable the analysis of traffic patterns by collecting critical data. This allows planners to find smarter ways to manage and improve infrastructure and traffic. By adopting this approach, cities can become smarter and more sustainable, and the number of traffic fatalities can be reduced.
Manufacturing:
Making the most of resources and eliminating inefficient production processes is essential for both sustainability and profitability. Inefficiency stems from a lack of understanding of equipment behavior and performance. A faulty machine will produce lower-quality results that may go unnoticed until it breaks down. Skylark helps manufacturers monitor every process in the production chain and make sustainable decisions to improve productivity and reduce downtime.
Skylark can be easily retrofitted to existing equipment, adding Industry 4.0 features, thereby extending machine lifespan and supporting circular business models. Laursen adds: "In addition to ensuring product efficiency throughout its lifecycle, the IoT can give manufacturers insights into when products are no longer in use and can also tell them where their old hardware is located, through the products' internet connectivity. This means we can offer a 'cradle-to-grave' service."
Agriculture:
As the world's population grows, so does the demand for food. However, farmers and ranchers must contend with changing and intense weather conditions, which impact the quality and quantity of crop production. Skylark IoT solutions can provide insights into soil quality, weather conditions, and crop health by measuring variables such as humidity and temperature. Skylark's low power consumption and robust design allow IoT data loggers to be deployed remotely in demanding environments with minimal maintenance.
Laursen concludes: “We believe that IoT will play a vital role in the green transition and in creating a more sustainable world. We are doing our part by working towards achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals 9 and 12. We want to be an innovative partner for our customers. To facilitate this, we have created the Engineering Campfire®, a creative IoT workshop where our engineers help transform our customers’ vision and big ideas into IoT solutions that enhance and add value to their businesses.”
