Enhance Decision Making
-
Real-time Insights
Continuous data collection from IoT devices allows cities to gather real-time information on various aspects such as traffic, energy consumption, and public services.
-
Cost Reduction
Efficient resource allocation and proactive planning lead to cost savings, allowing cities to optimise budgets and invest in more impactful initiatives.
-
Urban Infrastructure Monitoring
Immediate detection of minor defects such as structural integrity, water leakages, and electrical faults.
-
Public Transport Health Check
Ensure constant monitoring of engine checks, oil levels, tyre pressure, axle load, and more for buses and trains to keep your city moving efficiently.
-
Holistic View
A single user interface offers a multitude of features for urban managers to estimate expenses, schedule recurring maintenance, and ensure city assets are in top condition.
-
Ecological & Sustainable Measures
Promote eco-driving and lower emissions with our advanced driver assistance systems.
Safer Communities
-
Safer Roads
Design sound warnings and alerts to reduce traffic violations, eliminate fatigue driving and prevent collisions. A safer city is a happier city.
-
Insurance-based IoT for Careful Drivers
IoT-enabled devices such as telematics and in-car sensors allow insurance companies to track driving behaviour, rewarding careful drivers with lower premiums based on their actual driving habits. This incentivises safer driving practices and encourages responsible behaviour on the road.
-
Secure City Property
Real-time monitoring and instant alarms when city properties like benches, kiosks or artwork are tampered with, thanks to light sensors, padlocks, and security cameras.
-
Fuel Monitoring for City Vehicles
Immediate notifications for unexpected fuel drains ensuring efficient and responsible uitlisation.
Optimise routes for Public Transport
-
Efficient Public Transport
Route planning tools to avoid traffic, ensure timely pickups and guarantee satisfaction for daily commuters.
-
Transparency in Operation
Whole-fleet visualisation on a single map and alerts for delays.
-
IoT in Public Transport
Solutions such as tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) ensure efficiency, safety and reduced maintenance costs for city buses.
Seamless City with IoT Integration
-
Smarter Urban Logistics
Identify business vs personal usage, track shift changes in public services, prevent fare dodging in public transport and ensure accurate payroll calculations.
-
Data-Driven City Management
Customise your data collection and leverage information efficiently through our integrated platform, designed to support a diverse range of IoT sensors and tracking devices.
Enhancing Green Spaces and Urban Ecology
-
Smart Irrigation Systems
Employ sensors to monitor soil moisture, ensuring plants, trees, and grass receive optimal watering. This not only conserves water but ensures vibrant green spaces and fights against climate change.
-
Air Quality Monitoring
Real-time air quality sensors installed across the city and in schools provide live data. They help in identifying pollution hotspots, guiding policy decisions and provide timely alerts to residents.
-
Waste Management Systems
Sensors in bins notify when they are full, ensuring timely clearance, and maintaining the cleanliness and aesthetic appeal of the surroundings.
-
Urban Farming Initiatives
Support community farming by monitoring soil health, light, and water levels. Promote urban agriculture and local produce.
-
Tree Health Monitoring
IoT sensors can detect early signs of tree diseases or pest infestations, enabling timely interventions to protect the city's green cover.
Additional Use-Cases
-
Flood detection
enabling real-time data collection, analysis, and rapid response mechanisms by leveraging IoT technology, authorities and communities can better prepare for and mitigate the impact of flooding, ultimately improving public safety and reducing property damage.
-
Traffic Management Control
to collect real-time data from smart sensors placed on roadways. This data is analysed to optimise traffic signals, predict traffic conditions, and detect incidents. IoT also facilitates public information dissemination, infrastructure maintenance, and environmental monitoring, contributing to improved traffic flow, safety, and environmental sustainability in urban areas.
-
Smart Street Lighting
IoT-powered smart street lighting systems offer numerous benefits, including energy savings, improved safety, reduced maintenance costs, and the ability to create more sustainable and connected urban environments. These systems leverage real-time data and automation to enhance the efficiency and functionality of street lighting infrastructure.
-
Smart parking solutions
real-time information, enabling reservations, simplifying payments, and optimising the use of parking resources. These solutions contribute to reduced congestion, improved urban planning, and enhanced user convenience and environmental sustainability in urban areas.
-
Wastewater Management
These technologies provide real-time monitoring, automation, predictive analytics, and data-driven insights. They improve wastewater treatment and collection systems' efficiency, sustainability, and environmental impact.
-
Public Safety Through Surveillance
enhances public safety by providing real-time monitoring, intelligent analysis, and rapid response capabilities. These systems help prevent and respond to security threats, natural disasters, and emergencies more effectively, making communities safer and more secure.
