IBM (Internet of Environments)

IBM, VIDT, and Factory Lab - a leading company in data sensors, have come together to develop a Corona Safety Indicator sensor.

Any business can become an integrator by integrating VIDT DAO's timestamping technology into its services.

IBM is a key partner for VIDT, working together on several innovative projects within the Internet of Things (IoT) space. A notable initiative where IBM and VIDT have collaborated is the "Internet of Environments" project. This project seeks to create healthier cities by monitoring environmental factors such as micro-dust, humidity, CO2 levels, and temperature. Sensors are placed in strategic locations, like rooftops of buildings, to gather air quality data and detect pollutants. The first such sensor was installed on the roof of IBM's headquarters in the Netherlands.

These sensors regularly send data through VIDT's infrastructure, where it's securely stored on the IBM Hyperledger, Ethereum, and Binance Smart Chain blockchains. This process ensures the data remains untouched and free from any potential manipulation, providing an accurate and trustworthy dataset for analysis.

Indoor air quality

During the global pandemic, this partnership has taken on additional significance. IBM, VIDT, and Factory Lab, a leading company in data sensors for buildings, have come together to develop a Corona Safety Indicator sensor. These sensors, designed for indoor spaces, measure the air quality in a room and provide indications about its ventilation quality, crucial in the fight against Covid-19.

The data from these sensors is processed through VIDT's cloud, where it's authenticity is securily stored on the blockchain to ensure data integrity. It's then forwarded to IBM's supercomputer, Watson, for analysis. This collaborative effort between VIDT and IBM showcases the transformative potential of blockchain and IoT in addressing real-world challenges, making our environments safer, and enhancing the quality of life.
