Internet of Things Success Stories Series #3
IoT-based Monitoring and Management Approach for Smart Infrastructures
4. Current status
In both scenarios our platform based on IoT obtained a successful behavior making the management and monitoring easier for
both infrastructures. This success can be proved by the results we are presenting next.
For the bank branch, our platform provided not only management but also energy efficiency. Taking a look at Figure 6, we can
see the correlation of the energy consumed by the bank facility with respect to the maximum temperature reached for each day.
The left one corresponds to the information obtained before the deployment of our platform, while the right one corresponds to
the period managed by our platform. The latter one obtains a correlation index of 0.67 while the left one only 0.4. The closer this
correlation index to 1 is, the more related the data are.

In addition, Figure 7 shows both consumption and maximum
temperature in the same graph. The lowest values corresponds
to the period of time where the bank branch is closed.
Ignoring these values we can observe how the left side of the
graphs present a higher consumpion rate than the right side.
