Beyond the usual use cases! #EnergyAnalytics

Last week I took a pretty late night flight from Hyderabad to Kolkata. My flight landed at around 2.30 am early morning. Noticed a few surprising things:-

  • Almost all lights in the arrival section near the belt area were lit. Only 1 belt would have been used for our flight. (Censors wouldn’t perhaps be the best thing as the staff does move around)
  • Temperature profile was very low, HVAC system must have been on for quite sometime.

It made me think that are we creating enough value out of the data assets we have? Could there be a simple logic built that would connect flight arrival, departure timings, passenger behaviour (check in time etc) and manage overall energy consumption?

Majority enegry consumption in Airports is across HVAC and Lighting, tapping into data related to flight schedules, passenger behaviour can really help in moving beyond the obvious when it comes to using data and making the best use of it.

Sounds silly but I guess someone might just be working on it!

What do you think?

Kill the way you operate/do business now, so that you can lead tomorrow!

Energy Efficiency markets have seen some renewed sense of urgency over the last couple of years. But there is one shift that has had the highest amount of impact and that is the transition or the intent of economies to double Energy Productivity over the next 10-15 years.

Looking at Energy Productivity widens the role that emerging technologies like #IIoT, #BigData and #Analytics would play and that is where preparedness or the lack of it would also come in to play, especially when it comes to Industries/conventional businesses.

For conventional businesses/industries to take up the task of doubling energy productivity would mean attempting to slowly kill the way they operate/do business now, it is like trying to unlearn/ undo most of things you have done in the past, question everything and find answers/solutions that would take them to the goal of doubling energy productivity!

It is difficult but not impossible. We will see organisations that make the most out of their data assets, develop IPs around their businesses are going to be more likely to leapfrog in this transition process. Ones that do not catch up will not just be left behind, but eventually have to kill their business/operational model anyways. Decision to kill it now; thereby giving you a chance to survive/lead is purely yours.

Trust me i never ever doubted that #EnergyEfficiency would be so critical for businesses/economies. Your thoughts?

Yours Efficiently,
