IoT Solutions for Smart Cities and Buildings
City scale complexity, simplified.
As societies evolve, so must the world around us. Smarter infrastructure is crucial to support efficiency, manageability and ultimately smarter living.
As an Intel® IoT Market Ready Solution we are able to break down silos and operationalise city-scale data.
Operationalise city-scale data.
Multiple systems mean multiple feeds of data, which provide the actionable insight to solve complex problems that exist across large areas. The Hark Platform provides the ability to interconnect and monitor assets and systems, while providing secure monitoring and control capabilities from a single easy-to-use system, centrally or remotely.
By analysing and interpreting data, the platform can provide insight into areas of popularity and suggest future improvements that would be most beneficial to residents.
Performance of energy, air quality and multiple combinations of utility data can be fed into the platform as a single viewpoint. In turn this affects:
1. Public accessibility
The ability to monitor and report on car parking, traffic, human congestion – as well as provide interactive visualisations – vastly improves the city experience for both residents and visitors.
2. Public safety
Crime hotspots can be monitored using machine vision that highlights suspicious activity and alerts authorities, creating safer public spaces.
Identifying air quality and energy consumption allows cities to make decisions on how to reduce usage and pollution.
Insight that delivers on greenhouse gas emissions strategies.
Every city has growing accountability for their contribution to the country’s overall emissions targets. The Hark Platform provides local authorities with the power to gauge their current emissions for benchmarking purposes and gives vital information that can form a citywide environmental improvement strategy by pinpointing some the geographical areas and times of day where emissions are at their peak. Information can then be easily retrieved for regulation purposes.
- Gather insights on consumption and pollution.
- Use triggers, alerts and automation to help fight emissions.
- Easily visualise patterns to highlight inefficiencies in city operations.
Economic development managers can transform internal practices.
The Hark Platform allows users to track any type of sensor data and can power process proficiency for local authorities. From CO2 levels to rainfall, foot traffic, motorway congestion and more. You will have a bird’s-eye view of everything that’s happening in your city, in one, easy to use dashboard that’s accessible from anywhere and is instantaneously updated.
- Economic development managers are able to easily monitor and review city performance in an array of different areas such as sustainability, popularity, crime, and much more.
- Cities are able to perform much more efficiently by monitoring and automatically controlling everything from water to traffic and parking.
- Integration into modern apps and technology allows city councils to open up communication between itself and residents.
Revolutionising transport and planning for electric vehicles.
Hark’s real-time monitoring capabilities give you an accurate depiction of every element of your city’s infrastructure. From the volume of cars on the road to the number of people in train and bus stations at any given time. With the rise of electric vehicles, the Hark Platform also gives you the power draw information on existing charging points and provides data for the planning of where and when to deploy new charging facilities throughout the city.
