Real-Time Monitoring

Real-Time Monitoring is a way to keep track of what is happening in smart infrastructure as it happens, using sensors and data systems that give instant feedback. In smart buildings or cities, this means that things like energy use, air quality, or structural health are measured every second, and the information is sent right away to a dashboard or alert system. Designers can use this live data to adjust lighting, temperature, or security settings automatically, making spaces safer and more efficient. One new fact is that real-time monitoring in smart infrastructure can now use edge computing, which means some data is processed directly on-site by small devices before being sent to the cloud, making responses even faster and reducing the amount of data that needs to travel.
