Providing the connectivity behind IoT solutions has seen Vodafone help recover almost 1,000 stolen vehicles, assist hundreds of children unable to attend school, and keep track of beer kegs across Australia.
Vodafone’s global Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity play is seeing it solve issues across stolen vehicles, children’s mental health, and beer tracking, the carrier has said.
Speaking during the annual CeBIT conference in Sydney on Wednesday, Binary Beer CEO Michael Burton described how his company is using Vodafone Australia’s narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) network to transform traditional beer kegs into “smart kegs”.
“We’re developing a platform that makes sure that beer kegs never go missing, and they don’t get lost, damaged, and stolen, and also that the beer they serve on tap … is fresh, just as the brewer had intended it to be,” Burton said.
