The Challenge
Liverpool City Council, one of the fastest-growing areas in Australia, was preparing for significant new developments associated with the new Western Sydney International Airport. The council needed to improve its internal processes to better support this growth. The council provides a portfolio of services to residents and businesses in the area, with over 800 staff managing everything from waste and recycling facilities to parks, libraries, and childcare centres. As the area has grown, so too has the support delivered by the council, leading to a rise in the number of internal processes followed by staff across all departments and locations. Many of these processes had not been fully documented and important details only existed in the heads of staff, leading to a risk of knowledge loss if certain people left.
About The Customer
Liverpool City Council, founded in 1810, is one of the oldest urban settlements in Australia. Until the 1950s, it was a satellite town supporting surrounding farmland. However, during the following decades, the urban sprawl of Sydney led to it becoming an outer suburb of the city. The council provides a wide range of services to residents and businesses in the area, with over 800 staff managing everything from waste and recycling facilities to parks, libraries, and childcare centres. As the area has grown in recent years, so too has the support delivered by the council, leading to a rise in the number of internal processes followed by staff across all departments and locations.
The Solution
The council began using Nintex Promapp in 2014 as part of a New South Wales government initiative to streamline the operation of local councils. The platform was used to assess more than 560 processes, with over 300 of those being reviewed, documented, and certified. A renewed effort was placed on ensuring Nintex Promapp was being used in the most appropriate way to support the process review program when plans were approved for the new Western Sydney International Airport. A cross-functional improvement team was established to provide guidance and assistance with putting the platform to work as part of the implementation of a new quality management system. This was designed to highlight those processes that carried the most risk for the organisation and ensure they were reviewed and managed appropriately.

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.

Smart Street Light Network (Copenhagen)
Key stakeholders are taking a comprehensive approach to rethinking smart city innovation. City leaders have collaborated through partnerships involving government, research institutions and solution providers. The Copenhagen Solutions Lab is one of the leading organizations at the forefront of this movement. By bringing together manufacturers with municipal buyers, the Copenhagen Solutions Lab has catalyzed the development and deployment of next-generation smart city innovations. Copenhagen is leveraging this unique approach to accelerate the implementation of smart city solutions. One of the primary focus areas is LED street lighting.

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.
