The Challenge
Casa II management faced significant challenges in handling deposits and payments efficiently. The major concerns included loss of revenue due to the lack of a payment system for elevator usage, manual payment options that were time-consuming and expensive, and security issues related to handling cash transactions. These challenges necessitated a solution that could streamline payment processes, ensure security, and provide convenience to residents.
About The Customer
Casa II is a luxury condominium located on the border of Yorkville, Toronto, home to 470 units and over 1,000 residents. The residents are primarily high-income professionals and young adults who lead busy lifestyles and expect high levels of service and convenience. Miryam Scanga, the assistant property manager, has been in her role for over two years, handling day-to-day accounting, client payments, and other operational responsibilities. Casa II has embraced digital property management to enhance convenience and efficiency for its residents.
The Solution
Casa II implemented Condo Control (CC) and Stripe to address their payment challenges. Stripe was introduced to provide secure, convenient, and easy-to-use online payment solutions. This allowed residents to book and pay for amenities such as guest suites, party rooms, and service elevators online, 24/7. The integration of Stripe also enabled prompt return of deposits and streamlined the payment process, reducing the need for manual refunds. Additionally, Stripe's security features, including data encryption and transaction monitoring, ensured the safety of online payments. The reporting capabilities within Stripe allowed the accounting team to consolidate and monitor transactions easily.

Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
