How do you keep up with the velocity and variety of data streaming in from all the smart devices that run the physical environments of 7,000+ stores? What about getting analytics that tell you exactly where energy waste is happening in real-time? In this talk, Riptide IO, describes their blueprint for collecting, organizing and deriving real-time operational intelligence from smart devices such as lighting, HVAC, sensors and more. Learn how this retailer gained a dramatic boost to their sustainability program, and solved some of the major bottlenecks in managing countless devices across thousands of stores.
