The Challenge
Greenline, a commercial shade sail manufacturer and installer, was aiming to achieve the gold standard of triple ISO accreditation. This was crucial for the Australian company as a significant portion of their work comes from government contracts, including schools and hospitals. The triple ISO certifications (environmental, quality assurance, and occupational health and safety) would serve as a symbol of trust, demonstrating their serious approach to risk. However, to gain certification, Greenline needed to prove that their manufacturing and safety processes were up to the mark. While their processes met the standard, their existing process management system was inadequate and unable to pass the stringent external audit.
About The Customer
Greenline is an Australian commercial shade sail manufacturer and installer with over 20 years of experience. The company operates out of Wagga Wagga in New South Wales and has been installing shade sails throughout Australia. Much of Greenline's work comes from government contracts, including schools and hospitals, making it crucial for them to have internationally recognized certifications. The company was seeking to gain the gold standard of triple ISO accreditation (environmental, quality assurance, and occupational health and safety) to demonstrate their commitment to risk management and to maintain their competitive edge in tendering for government and large retail contracts.
The Solution
Greenline decided to overhaul their process management system and implemented Nintex Promapp, a solution recommended by a consultant assisting them in rewriting their ISO management system. The implementation of Nintex Promapp was a gradual process, with staff documenting their tasks in real-time, and the resulting processes were discussed at meetings before being recorded in the new system. Nintex Promapp offered a single standard for every process, enabling Greenline to pinpoint the cause of a problem when it arose. The system's improvement add-on was used to investigate reported issues and create actions to solve the problems. Nintex Promapp also introduced transparency into Greenline’s process management, which helped staff take ownership of a process or module, thereby ensuring better follow-up on issues and keeping things up to date.

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.
