Smart Waste Management System

Smart waste management focuses on solving the solid waste management problems using sensors, intelligent monitoring systems, and mobile applications. The first smart waste management solution to make the waste collection process more efficient is sensors. Sensors can measure the fill level of the containers and provide updated information at any time and notify waste management services to empty them when they are full or almost full. These devices help optimize the best possible route containing fully filled containers and create smart schedules for drivers. The selection of the containers also minimizes the need for trash collection staff because their duties are deduced. They can also alert the waste management companies or municipalities if an undesirable incident happens such as sudden temperature rise or displacement of the container by their GPS feature

IoT solutions for solid waset management problems offer municipalities data intelligence and real-time insights. In that regard, the fill patterns of specific containers can be identified by historical data and managed accordingly in the long term. In addition to hardware solutions, mobile applications are used to overcome the challenges in the regular waste management system, such as keeping track of the drivers while they are operating on the field.

Smart Renewable Energy System

A smart energy management system (SEMS) enables the effective utilization of available energy resources and thus results in energy-efficient operation of a smart grid

Smart grid technology is enabling the effective management and distribution of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydrogen.

The smart grid connects a variety of distributed energy resource assets to the power grid.

By leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) to collect data on the smart grid, utilities are able to quickly detect and resolve service issues through continuous self-assessments. Because utilities no longer have to depend on customers to report outages, this self-healing capability is vital component of the smart grid.

Smart Asset Management in the utility market

Smart Asset management (or asset tracking) is the process of keeping track of your company's physical assets and their information. Depending on your business, physical assets can mean different kinds of equipment, IT devices, tools or vehicles, for example.

Smart Metering (Gas + Water + Electric metering)

Smart metering is one of the key steps to developing citywide smart grid systems. These smart metering systems address utility consumption tracking and forecasting challenges for electricity, gas and water. By providing real-time usage data, smart meters allow utility providers to optimize distribution and empower consumers to make smarter usage decisions.

Smart metering provides a way for businesses to keep track of how much energy they’re using so they can adjust their usage if necessary. In addition to measuring usage, smart meters record a variety of data points on consumption, including when a resource is being used, how much is being used at a time, and where it’s being directed. An internet or wireless connection relays the data to a console, where a business owner or administrator can see how that data breaks down.

Many electric, gas, water and other utility companies have embraced smart metering to track usage across their customer bases to better determine costs and infrastructure needs. Smart metering can give both utility providers and customers better ideas of how usage affects costs, and help business owners determine new energy-efficient strategies to save money.

Building Management (Smart Building - Home Automation - Smart Home)

Smart cities aren’t just a concept or a dream of the future. Thanks to the wildly innovative Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, many are already active and expanding rapidly. Municipal governments are leveraging cellular and Low Power Wide Area (LPWAN) wireless technologies to connect and improve infrastructure, efficiency, convenience, and quality of life for residents and visitors alike.

Communities can improve energy distribution, streamline trash collection, decrease traffic congestion, and improve air quality with help from the IoT.

• Smart Infrastructure
• Air Quality Management
• Traffic Management
• Smart Parking
• Smart Waste Management

The first building block of any smart city application is reliable, pervasive wireless connectivity.

While there’s no one-size-fits-all, evolving Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies are well suited to most smart city applications for their cost efficiency and ubiquity.

Smart Parking

With the rise of connected devices, IoT-based smart parking systems are becoming more and more popular. These parking systems empower drivers with advanced information about available parking slots and other useful data like current prices and availability rates.

The smart parking system also allows drivers to use the space remotely via their smartphones, which is convenient if drivers prefer not to walk to find a space or avoid potential traffic congestion.

An IoT based smart parking system, also known as a connected parking system, is a centralized management system that allows drivers to use a smartphone app to search for and reserve a parking spot.

Smart Lighting

The concept of Smart Lighting refers to all those Smart lighting systems that are able to operate in a more flexible, customisable and efficient manner than traditional wired and manual systems.

These are a series of technological solutions such as bulbs, switches and other devices that can create usage scenarios according to a specific context, or that can be controlled remotely at any time. This results in a more efficient and scalable lighting system that can be adapted to the needs of the environment in which it is installed, as well as lowering energy consumption and the environmental impact associated with it.

When smart lighting integrates with the IoT, all interconnected devices can be controlled remotely. This means that lights can be switched on, off or programmed to come on even when you are not physically present in the room, but not only that, you can manage their intensity, colour and set more energy-efficient lighting scenarios.

Smart Cities

A smart city is a place where traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital solutions for the benefit of its inhabitants and business. 

A smart city goes beyond the use of digital technologies for better resource use and less emissions. It means smarter urban transport networks, upgraded water supply and waste disposal facilities and more efficient ways to light and heat buildings. It also means a more interactive and responsive city administration, safer public spaces and meeting the needs of an ageing population.

Fleet Tracking

Fleet tracking is a set of tech-enabled systems designed to help fleet managers manage their fleets, drivers and all rolling assets.

In fleet tracking, the most common technology used is GPS. But that’s only part of it. Additionally, most GPS trackers use a combination of satellite-based GPS systems to track location, along with a LPWAN network to communicate that location data to the platform.

Fleet Tracking systems offer a variety of benefits. In the simplest sense, fleet tracking enables a manager to know where his assets are, where they are going, and how they are performing.

Smart Mobility & Smart Car

Smart mobility integrates all modes of transportation and infrastructure: cars, including rideshares, autonomous vehicles, and semi-autonomous vehicles; bike-shares; traffic signals; buildings; parking spaces; emergency vehicles and people; and it utilizes sensors, software and data platforms to streamline all of these elements into one coherent system.

Smart mobility is the ultimate practical example of the Internet of Things (IoT) in which all modes of transportation and user interfaces are able to talk amongst themselves via a network of wireless communications. This enables citizens to make the best choices for transportation while increasing safety, minimizing commute time, decreasing the negative effects of congestion, and maximizing productivity.

Healthcare Monitoring System

Technological evolution in the health sector leads to quality, results and value.

Patients deserve effectiveness and personalisation of services and for this reason it is important to invest in this direction. Digital healthcare is a trend that involves the use of new technologies, precisely to improve the level of assistance while keeping the costs, where it is possible.

Smart healthcare not only means adopting new products and technologies for diagnosis and treatment, but it includes a greater exchange of information among the parties, a more active role of patients during treatment and, finally, a better management of clinical data.

Healthcare is actually smart because thanks to the devices connected to patients (bracelets, watches and more) it is possible to collect data on the health status of patients to take care of them, even remotely, and prevent critical situations.

Healthcare and IoT applied to medicine enable to use objects integrated by sensors that communicate with each other and exchange information. This exchange of information is necessary to prevent illness and diagnose disease in advance.
