Advantages For Organizations To Use Smart Dust!

The use of Smart Dust devices has many advantages for organizations. One of the greatest advantage would be the use of motes to reduce costs. With Smart Dust, Organizations can use the device to sensor lighting, and temperature in the building and provide the information to the controller.[1] In return, when the room in vacant computers would then turn off the lights, heating or cooling system. Depending on what the Organization specializes in, Smart Dust can be beneficial to them in different ways. For example, motes can be used to record data for scientific research, meteorology, for road sign detection, movement of patients in hospitals, and to detect presence of chemical or biological agents. [2] Organizations can really benefit from such precise and detailed data. Another advantage is the use of sensor networks in various fields for continuous sensing, be it for event detection, location sensing or micro-sensing [3] Also, motes can be used to monitor the security of buildings. Not to forgot the revolutionary change it will bring to computer interfaces and technology in general.
