The Challenge
The TRX Public Realm project, located in a 70-acre district in the city center of Kuala Lumpur, aimed to seamlessly integrate into its neighborhood. The project's centerpiece is a 10-acre park designed across multiple levels, including the roof of a shopping mall. The park's design aimed to create visual and physical connectivity between the mall and the park, integrating it into the urban fabric. The park was also designed to be porous to the larger landscape around it, allowing for a public space that is fully integrated into the urban fabric. The project faced challenges in implementing complicated civil infrastructure projects, such as box tunnels with super-elevations, which are more challenging compared to other types of building projects. The project also aimed to reduce any possible redundancies and uncertainties that would eventually lead to project cost overruns.

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.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

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.
