"A versatile smart sensing platform prevents disparity and promotes interoperability, adaptability, and customizability." — Brad Walters
Monnit Founder and CEO Brad Walters has an insightful new article in the semiannual supplement of the May 2025 issue of Tech Briefs magazine—Sensing Technology. Tech Briefs is an essential resource for design engineers and managers who must know the latest breakthroughs and innovations from NASA and other major technology centers worldwide.
The compelling article, Smart Sensing, Foundation of the IoT/IIoT, is Maturing at a Rapid Pace, examines how a versatile IoT/IIoT platform boosts efficiency and decision-making across industries. If you're passionate about the present and future of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial IoT (IIoT) or want to explore how Monnit Smart Sensing works, this is a must-read.
From smart sensors that monitor nearly any common or uncommon industry application to advanced connectivity options to secure data management, Walters highlights how the IoT and IIoT are quickly growing. He says today's sensors—capable of monitoring everything from temperature and humidity to vibration and air quality—are becoming more versatile, secure, and easier to deploy across diverse applications.
Walters discusses integrating advanced connectivity options like wireless, Wi-Fi, Power over Ethernet (PoE), and cellular networks, enabling real-time data collection and remote monitoring in varied environments and facilities.
He also delves into the importance of robust security measures and the benefits of edge computing for efficient data processing. By examining real-world use cases and technological advancements, Walters provides valuable insights into how smart sensing drives operational efficiency, predictive maintenance, and the future of connected technology.
"Technologies that were once considered futuristic are increasingly mainstream and are helping advance smart sensing in many industries," Walters says.
