Why do IoT projects fail and what can be done to ensure success?

The internet of things (IoT) is best known for unlocking new business opportunities by transforming the way people and machines work. In today’s world, data is the key to a business’s success; IoT deployments can provide critical data to any device such as a phone, tablet or computer within seconds to help businesses improve performance.

Hark at EMEX 2022

Energy Management Lessons we learnt at EMEX 2022

Last week, we took a trip to the London ExCel Centre for EMEX, the net zero and energy management expo. The event this year stood out in a way that previous years couldn’t have; the pressure of the energy crisis added a resounding feeling to the event which spurred some important conversations. I wanted to write something to reflect on some of the excellent questions, demos and chats that took place on the Hark wind turbine stand (as seen in the video below).

Splitting data

Splitting data into ‘train’, ‘validation’ and ‘test’ sets

When developing and deploying machine learning models, it’s important that we split the dataset into ‘train’, ‘validation’, and ‘test’ datasets. This protects against an overfitted model, and helps ensure results are generalised. In this blog post we will look in to how to split the data, and why.

Finding the solution means defining the problem

The move towards Net Zero, for companies big or small, can be really daunting. Where do you start? How much will it cost? What’s the ROI? Who can help me? These are all reasonable questions that create obstacles to a net zero deployment.

Hark Energy Hierarchies; the most useful features for data validation

As of 2022, there hasn’t been a more vital time to have a deeper understanding of your energy consumption; whether that’s across a varied estate of sites, in a factory, depot, or store. The fact is that energy costs are exponentially going up, without any indication of whether they’ll come back down. The time for action is now.
