The layer of AI is allowing companies to extract more value from IOT systems and existing hardware such as CCTV cameras.
AI layer transforms IOT , adds value for SA businesses Zjaen Coetzee , Executive: Business and Digital Advisory Services at BCX .
He says: “In South Africa, IOT first emerged some years ago in the smart cities, utilities, and industrial and manufacturing sectors. The technology didn’t always deliver the hoped-for value due to the challenges of integrating multiple disparate systems, or because the IOT use case wasn’t properly thought through.
Coetzee says: “We have brought together the businesses and added value with our data analytics, alerting and digital twins’ capabilities within the BCX PaaS and SaaS division. In addition, BCX has competencies across connectivity, cloud, security, physical hardware, storage, installation, monitoring and maintenance, so we are able to offer an end-to-end AI and IOT value proposition as part of the BCX everything as a managed service model.
“It’s important that we aren’t just putting down technology – we need to be solving a problem and adding value. We have industry principals with deep knowledge of each industry; account executives with a good understanding of each customer; and a strong team of solution architects who build out what we call the digital value journey to come up with solutions that deliver real value and ROI for the customer.
“One customer uses AI to track whether the machines are spreading sauce on the pizzas uniformly. Another uses it to raise alerts about misshapen products, improper packaging or foreign objects,” he says. “AI image recognition quickly spots inconsistencies or defects, sending alerts or automatically pausing production for human review,” he says.

By combining IOT, data analytics and AI capabilities with connectivity, cloud hosting, cyber security, physical hardware and managed services, BCX delivers tailored, end-to-end solutions.
