NTT launches IoT services for sustainability

by Excel Dyquiangco / June 29, 2022

NTT Ltd., a global technology and business solutions provider, has launched its Internet of Things (IoT) Services for Sustainability offering. The new end-to-end stack of solutions will help businesses advance progress against global sustainability initiatives and make data-driven decisions to reduce their carbon footprint through the intelligent use of IoT connectivity. 

One of the features of this newest technology is its incorporation of a secure IT/OT integration and end-to-end support. This helps organizations to quickly see the benefits of the technology across the entire business following deployment. Benefits include energy cost savings, faster reduction in emissions, advanced operational excellence, and better work enablement across the organization. The stack of solutions is also supported by NTT’s new LoRaWAN network, and its catalog of sensors to measure, monitor and collect data to drive sustainability objectives. 

“IoT technologies are an essential tool in the global fight against climate change,” said Jeff Merritt, Head of Urban Transformation at the World Economic Forum. “We know what actions are needed to build a more sustainable future and have a robust suite of technologies available to help deliver this impact. As the world looks to accelerate the implementation of these solutions, organizations like NTT will have a critical role to play in helping companies and governments capitalize on this opportunity.” 

These solutions include: 

• OCR Meter Reading: An optical-based meter reader to provide near real-time data from any type of meter including water, electricity, and gas. The meter can also be used to read any type of gauge including pressure and temperature. 
• Water Leak Management: This technology provides real-time, IoT enabled protection against water damage for smart spaces projects. 
• Predictive Maintenance: This solution collects data from sensors to create models that predict when events of interest might occur, including potential downtime, accidents or when something might need to be replaced. 
• Environmental Monitoring: This technology uses sensors to identify the presence of pollutants in the air and water as well as tracking temperature and humidity. 

According to John Patrick Vicente, Head of GTM Sales, NTT Ltd., Philippines, many companies and organizations in the Philippines are looking for ways to operate and do business in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way. 

“As these companies become more conscious of how they impact their surroundings, they can guarantee that NTT will be there to provide the support they need in taking a step towards a green economy,” he said.  

Wireless industry leader Devin Yaung who was recently appointed as SVP Group Enterprise IoT Products and Services, NTT Ltd, added that almost two-thirds (61.4%) of CEOs say they’re aligning business strategies to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, yet only 2 out of 5 businesses have the solutions needed to meet the organization’s immediate objectives. 

“Therefore, it is more critical than ever to prioritize and deliver sustainability solutions for our enterprise customers,” he said. “Our new stack of solutions will help organizations reach their sustainability goals and improve operations across their business, whether it is reducing waste from manufacturing defects or understanding the carbon footprint of their supply chain. The use of IoT will empower businesses to make decisions in real-time, streamlining processes and transforming the overall sustainability of their business. We’re proud to be announcing this offering at such a critical time, and we look forward to driving change alongside our clients to create a more sustainable future.”
