Rachio Iro
Smart Sprinkler
Controller
This smart controller makes running sprinklers
easy and convenient while saving water and
money. Rachio responds to changing weather
conditions, ensuring plants only get water
when they need it. The mobile app allows a
user to control and monitor the system from
anywhere; real-time reporting tracks water use
and savings.
SMART AND CONNECTED TECHNOLOGY
Visijax Wearable
Work Jackets
Visijax of Wearable Technologies Ltd. specializes in
durable, high-visibility “smart” jackets and safety vests for
bicycle commuters. Each product is powered by a
detachable lithium-ion battery pack, which can be
recharged via laptop or USB-enabled plug. The company
doesn’t yet have a builder/construction version of the
smart jacket, but they do custom work, and we think
they could design a work coat similar to their “Police
Prototype,” complete with built-in smartphone controls,
safety lighting and tool pockets.
