Smart Spaces
Internationally
Smart homes
A smart home refers to a convenient home setup where appliances and devices can be automatically
controlled remotely from anywhere with an internet connection using a mobile or other networked device.
Devices in a smart home are interconnected through the internet, allowing the user to control functions
such as security access to the home, temperature, lighting, and a home theatre remotely.

● The USA is the No.1 country for the smart home, according to Statista's estimates, with 40.3 million
smart homes in 2018
● Less than 1% of total homes in India were smart in 2018. That's around 2.2 million connected
homes.
Examples of smart home technologies

1. Smart TVs
2. Smart lighting systems
3. Smart thermostats
4. Smart locks
5. Smart security cameras
6. Automated pet care
7. Smart household monitors
8. Smart kitchen appliances
Smart factories
Smart Factory is based are cyber-physical systems that communicate with each other using the Internet of
Things and Services. An important part of this process is the exchange of data between the product and
the production line. This enables a much more efficient connection of the Supply Chain and better
organisation within any production environment.

● China, Germany, and Japan are the top three countries in smart factory adoption, closely followed
by South Korea, the United States, and France.
● Nearly 70% of manufacturers are pursuing smart factory initiatives today, a significant increase since
2017.
Examples of smart factories
● German businesswear maker Hugo Boss has over 1,600 tablets in
its smart factory that are used on the shop floor to raise a read flag
for every error.

By noticing and acting on the mistake the worker can choose to

rehearse the task with the help of a mixed reality game that was
developed for the factory.Over 1,000 operations have been taught
with the help of “virtual dojo”.

Use of Artificial intelligence anticipates when employees might

leave the company, allowing Hugo Boss to hire and train people for
a job before the departure.

Machine data predicts when maintenance will be needed, therefore

helping to reduce downtime and cost.
● Computer general solutions, which sells softwares for
apparel manufacturing companies,. in partnership with
Juki, a Japanese sewing machine manufacturer, installed
CGS’ software on the devices, effectively making them
“smart.” Updates can be sent and changes can be sent to
fabric batches in real-time while data from the machines
are easily accessed for up-to-date analysis.

● Amazon warehouses contain thousands of shelves filled

with tens of thousands of products. To deal with such
high-capacity shipments, Kiva robots are contacted with
the location information of a product the moment a
shopper presses “checkout.”
SmartStores
SmartStores are stores that use smart technology, i.e.,
technology consisting of RFID, smart shelves, smart energy
management, smart carts, and smart cards, etc.
Examples of SmartStores
● Canada’s largest sports retailing chain, Sport Chek, has a
digital lab store in Toronto. There are 700+ digital screens
built into shelves, tables and above clothing racks
displaying hundreds of product images and special offers.

When a customer walks on their specialized treadmills, the

monitor recommends shoe sizes, types and special offers.
Multiple TV screens in-store show local sporting events
and updates. Some Sport Chek stores even have Reebok
kiosks where customers can custom-build the shoes they
want, and Oakley kiosks that allow them to custom-build
sunglasses.
● Target uses a cartwheel app which helps
customers in in-store navigation. IoT devices or
sensors with integrated technologies like
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, magnetic positions and
augmented reality, called beacons help
customers to find their products fastert.

● Kroger, one the America’s largest grocery store,

has image recognition cameras implanted in the
ceilings of the stores to monitor for when shelf
stock is running low. Sensors in the store’s
refrigerated cases can also give employees a
heads up if the temperature is rising too much to
prevent their content from spoiling.
● Mcdonalds started testing geofencing in its mobile
app to optimise food preparation time. In order to
avoid long wait-times and the potential for cold
food, the app detects when a customer is getting
closer. Staff are then alerted when they should
start preparing the order, theoretically meaning
the customer will arrive at the perfect time to
receive it.

● When a customer opens the Macy's app in-store,

the app recognizes which area of the store the
customer is in. If the customer is in the makeup
area, the app will remind the customer of makeup
brands she already liked online. This targeted
information can help persuade the customer to
make a purchase.
