The Challenge
A prominent State Government Agency was struggling with the management and tracking of its vast IT assets. The agency was using Excel spreadsheets and Lansweeper software, which were proving to be inefficient. The main workflows of the agency included assigning assets to employees, changing asset locations, conducting repairs, maintaining assets, and disposing of IT assets. These tasks were notably cumbersome without a proper government asset management system. The agency faced challenges such as inadequate asset tracking due to outdated information, complex workflows, limited visibility due to the lack of a centralized platform, and software license mismanagement leading to unnecessary costs and potential legal risks.
About The Customer
The customer in this case study is a prominent State Government Agency known for its commitment to innovation and progress. The agency has a vast number of IT assets that it needs to manage and track. The agency's main workflows revolve around assigning assets to employees, changing asset locations, conducting repairs, maintaining assets, and disposing of IT assets. Before the implementation of Asset Panda, these tasks were notably cumbersome and inefficient due to the lack of a proper government asset management system.
The Solution
The agency adopted Asset Panda, a customizable asset management platform. This platform streamlined the processes of assigning assets to employees, changing asset locations, managing repairs and maintenance, and disposing of IT assets. Asset Panda enabled the agency to manage all their assets in one central location, significantly increasing the visibility of their asset state. The platform also improved the agency's software license management, mitigating potential risks and reducing excess costs. The agency was able to effectively manage over 20,000+ assets, significantly simplifying their workflows, and ensuring efficient software license tracking.

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.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.

China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.

Barcelona Case Study
Barcelona’s heavy traffic and its associated high levels of pollution were the primary factors that motivated some companies and universities to work on strategies for improving traffic in the city centre. Bitcarrier is one of the technologies involved in the In4Mo Project, whose main objective is to develop the applications that form the core of smart mobility, one of the fundamental pillars of the smart city concept.
