Devtanks Lighthouse Project
We have been awarded our very own Lighthouse Project by the Smart Manufacturing Data Hub to supply 500 OpenSmartMonitor sensors to UK manufacturing SMEs. This incredible opportunity will enable businesses with smart monitoring solutions for their buildings in order to reduce their carbon footprints, boost their productivity, and ultimately begin their journey towards Net-Zero.
