Announcing the winners of the 2024 IoT Awards

Standout Australian industry and government projects and solutions using the Internet of Things (IoT) were recognised as winners of the 2024 IoT Awards in Sydney this evening.

The awards, the official awards of Australia’s peak industry body for IoT, IoT Alliance Australia, provided a snapshot of how IoT is being used to advance management of Australian energy and water networks, increase operational efficiency in multiple industries, modernise government services and many other uses.

The awards were sponsored by Bosch, IoT Skills Australia, Optus, Jacobs, Telstra and xDNA.

There were judged by a panel of judges from across Australian industry and academia. The judges assessed how entrants had used IoT to achieve impact, such as reducing costs, improving productivity and building community trust, and how they had innovated using IoT.

Winners developed IoT systems to increase safety at level crossings, to protect lobster farms from water borne diseases and pollution, to help large organisations reduce water wastage and much more.

The awards were presented at the end of the 2024 IoT Impact conference.
