The practical applications of IoT are much more extensive than you might be aware of. Just a few examples of its use are in baseball analytics, the monitoring of oil rigs, and dynamic routing systems that track thousands of palletized shipments.

Ian Uriarte, founder and CEO at Timbergrove, joins Kris Reddy on this episode of Life in the Cloud.
Timbergrove aims to predict when an unforeseen event will occur. That way, action can be taken before disaster strikes.
Think of a submersible oil rig in the ocean. If there's a problem, they have to shut off operations for one day. The opportunity cost is millions of dollars in one day.
Timbergrove has also used its solutions for tracking pitching optimization in baseball. It built a mobile and web application. The app's dashboard gave analytics like the baseball's incision angle, speed, and the quadrant of the strike zone a throw would go through.
Timbergrove is currently hiring a senior front-end developer who is familiar with UX and UI. Learn more here and listen to the episode to hear more from Ian on IoT applications.
