Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly capable of analyzing information and supporting decisions. At the same time, IoT technologies are connecting physical assets, equipment, people, and environments.
AIoT brings these two worlds together.
Aperture Venture Studio is developing AIoT ventures focused on applying this combination to real-world industrial environments.
What Does AIoT Mean?
AIoT combines:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Internet of Things
- Sensors and identification technologies
- Connectivity
- Data pipelines
- Industry-specific applications
The goal is to connect physical-world information with intelligent software.
From Data to Decisions
A typical industrial environment can generate data from equipment, workers, inventory, materials, and physical assets.
Simply collecting this information is not enough.
AI can help analyze operational data and identify patterns, while IoT infrastructure provides the connection to the physical environment.
This creates a basic flow:
Physical World → Sensors & IoT → Data → AI → Decision → Action
Industrial AIoT Applications
AIoT can support a wide range of industrial applications.
Asset Tracking
Organizations can improve visibility into the movement and location of physical assets.
Workforce Monitoring
Connected technologies can provide information about workforce activity and operational environments.
Inventory & Operations
AIoT can connect inventory information with operational processes.
Access & Security
Connected identification and monitoring technologies can support access-control processes.
Industrial Intelligence
AI can analyze operational information to support more informed decisions.
