Job Opportunity at AltoTech

About AltoTech

AltoTech is an early-stage and fast growing startup based in Bangkok Thailand. Our vision is to help hotels, buildings, industries, and villages in Thailand to save money on their electricity bills with IoT and AI algorithms. We are developing a platform that collect properties data such as AMI meter, Property management services, staff operations data, guest occupancy together. With this data, we are creating the so called “Self-Driving Air” that automatically control itself using Reinforcement Learning to cut electricity bills and be more energy efficient. Our target is to help hotels to cut 30% of their electricity consumption by “Self-Driving Air”. We are now implementing our AI and IoT solutions in Samui, Chiangmai, Pattaya, and Bangkok. Furthermore, we are also working with disruptive technologies in energy such as electric vehicles, batteries, renewable energy resources, IoT, blockchain and most importantly AI algorithms to manage these resources.
