Smartening
Smartening refers to the process of making something more intelligent or capable through the integration of technology and data. This typically involves incorporating sensors, connectivity, and analytical capabilities to enable devices, systems, or environments to perform tasks more autonomously, efficiently, and adaptively. The concept is closely related to the broader trends of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics.
In practice, smartening can be applied across numerous domains. In urban environments, smartening can manifest as
The core components of smartening often include data collection through sensors, communication networks for data transmission,
