Jay, a temporary worker, pulls
on his gloves just as his
smartwatch chimes, telling
him that his presence on the
job site has been detected
and he is ¡°punched in.¡±
Soon, he is operating a
jackhammer to clear a
sidewalk above a sewer line
reroute.
When the GPS sensors in Jay¡¯s
and other workers¡¯ watches
detect that they have progressed
90 meters and their watch
gyroscopes detect no more
vibrations, a status message is
sent over the region¡¯s free ultra-
fast ¡°digital air¡± WiFi.
The status message is picked up
by Roger, a business intelligence
specialist. Roger
has used our open API to build a
custom application merging
network and proprietary data.
The jackhammer team¡¯s status
was simultaneously picked up by
a foreman named Said. Said
inspects the work and then taps
the approve button on his watch.
Said¡¯s approval notifies logistics
company RoadMind that they are
clear for their scheduled delivery
of 100 meters of sewer pipe.
RoadMind releases one of their
selfdriving lorries, nicknamed
¡°Bessie¡± to pick up the pipe.
