The Challenge
The challenge was to construct a world-class greenfield smart city in Nava Raipur, the new capital of Chhattisgarh state in India. The goal was to create an environmentally sustainable city that would meet the needs of its citizens and businesses through optimized solutions. The city was to be designed with high livability in mind, focusing on operational efficiency in civic amenities and planning systems. The city planners aimed to enhance the quality of life of its residents through safe, efficient, and sustainable civic amenities and planning systems. The challenge was not just to build a city, but to build a smart city that would serve as a model for future urban development in India.

About The Customer
The customer in this case is the city of Nava Raipur, the new capital of Chhattisgarh state in India. The city was being built from scratch, with the goal of becoming a world-class greenfield smart city. The city planners aimed to create a city that was not only environmentally sustainable but also highly livable, with efficient and effective civic amenities and planning systems. The city was designed to meet the needs of its citizens and businesses, with a focus on safety, efficiency, and sustainability. The success of the project has led to Nava Raipur being seen as a model for future urban development in India.
The Solution
The solution was to develop an infrastructure and operations plan that would underpin optimized city management. This involved the use of smart technologies to manage critical infrastructure systems across the city in real time. The plan included better management of supply and demand for crucial civic services including water, street-lighting, electrical and sewerage services. The use of real-time insight and management systems allowed for efficient and sustainable use of resources, contributing to the city's goal of being environmentally sustainable. The success of the project led to Nava Raipur being designated a lighthouse for the Indian Government’s National Smart Cities Mission, serving as a model for other cities in the country.

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.
