1 – Connected Homes: The Nexity Success Story
Although the big names in real estate development have now adopted smart home living, Nexity was one of the first to venture into it, as early as the mid-2010s. To anticipate the changing needs of individuals in the city of tomorrow, Nexity partnered with Overkiz to develop a Smart Building solution that includes building-level applications, beyond the tasks of controlling homes and improving residential comfort and security.
As for the disciplines and professions directly impacted by the progress of the IoT, a future without connected objects now seems inconceivable. Home automation offers real added value for businesses that now offer products as a service. More than a gadget designed to improve living comfort, IoT is integrated into the building’s construction and has a direct influence on its design.

Groupe Atlantic designs, manufactures and sells thermal comfort solutions for residential, collective and non-residential markets.

Each year, we conduct a snapshot of uses, trends, and outlooks in IoT. How can we ensure the best possible user experience, along with maximum device security? How should we respond to digital identity and personal data issues? Is security more important than innovation? These issues and challenges need to be addressed as connected devices become more popular and technology advances.
