What are the award categories? Read on...
Sustainability
Environmental Monitoring: monitoring and characterising environmental parameters for the purpose of accurately quantifying the impact an activity has on an environment.
Data for Net Zero: projects and companies that use automated data to measure emissions and the impact of their actions to adjust net zero strategy and plans.
Energy Management: proactive and systematic monitoring, control and optimisation of energy consumption to conserve, use and decrease energy costs.
Productivity
Asset Management: the use of real-time data from connected assets to optimise individual asset health for better operations performance over its lifecycle, including predictive maintenance.
Remote Monitoring (including smart metering): near real-time tracking and monitoring of things and states (this includes various parameters such as location, movement, presence and throughput).
Industrial Automation: the use of connected smart devices in an industrial environment to either automate, remotely control or optimise operations and business processes,
Logistics/Supply Chain Management: the use of IoT sensor data to monitor and manage the state of transported goods and delivery performance through the supply chain.
Safety and Wellbeing: collecting and analysing data from sensors to improve people safety and wellbeing
Trusted Technology and Data
Trusted IoT Service: IoT services that demonstrate trust through good security, privacy, fairness, transparency and accessibility.
Smart Sensing: innovative sensing using devices (and edge computing) to perform predefined functions upon detection of specific input and then process data before passing it on.
Digital Twin Innovation: projects that showcase virtual representation of an object or system that spans its lifecycle and uses real-time data to help decision making.
Research: research that showcases new IoT innovation and application
Data Smart Transformation: awarded to the entity or person who has managed a significant business change through data smartness and IoT.
Awards Selection Criteria
Entries must address the following
- You must meet each of these criteria to be eligible for the awards:
- Does your nominated work/project involve IoT?
- Did part of it take place in the 2022-23 financial year? (Did part of the work take place between July 2022 – June 2023?)
- Is it an Australian project? Entries are open to local and international organisations but must focus on Australian activities and outcomes to be eligible.
- Project impact
- Is there tangible evidence of the work’s impact? e.g. Did the work result in a return on investment, improvement to processes, learnings, financial outcomes, customer service etc?
- The size or scale of the impact matters. Did it have make an impact beyond the organisation e.g. industry-wide? Were there wide-scale economic outcomes such as improved competitiveness, productivity, jobs, exports and value-add? Greater weight will be given to entries that demonstrate broader impact. Independent evidence, such as links to third party metrics and reports, will give your entry more credibility.
- Project Innovation
- Does it use new technologies, systems, approaches to security and/or privacy, partnerships or business models?
- Does it drive business process change?
Important
- If you are nominating a customer's project, you must have their permission to do so
- Provide credible evidence of the project’s impact and/or innovation e.g., testimonials, metrics about deployment, data collected, metrics about outcomes.
- Maximum 200 words per criterion
