Our partners SC-Nex and SCSK under the Sumitomo Group have a very unique position in the IoT market. They truly bring all dots together from devices over connectivity down to integration and even funding in infrastructure. We are honoured to help in giving a meaning to the term "Smart City".
The concept of this booth was innovative in itself. It was not showcasing technology, it was displaying aid for inhabitants.
A Smart City is not really about the city, it is about the people in it. Without people, there is no city. How can you help the children? What can you do to improve things for elderly people? What about visitors of the city, or people that work in it?
If then, applications are mixed, we can bring full suites tailored to these different stages in life within the city
As the application supplier for all use cases we were able to display how we can combine to build suites of apps. Since we collect all data, enrich it and process it to form insights, we really do hold the intelligence within our databases. If then, applications are mixed, we can bring full suites tailored to these different stages in life within the city. Metering, pipe pressure, air quality, various sorts of tracking, nurse call systems, access control, occupancy and motion, door statuses, ... and another 80 different apps and use cases all add up to a full offering.
But we can not do this alone. We heavily rely on our partners. They scope it, co-create it, roll it out, manage it and fully support it. They truly are the ones that make it happen, and that give meaning to this term "Smart City". A big thank you to Sumitomo, SCSK, SC-Nex and all device makers that collectively build an environment for visitors and inhabitants of reside, move, live and feel safe in.
