挑战
In 2010, Sarju Sahu, the newly-appointed Manager of Information Technology at Auburn City Council, observed that 38% of the Council's workforce operated in the field. This included various inspectors and maintenance staff. Sahu realized that to provide effective productivity tools and solutions, mobility had to be integrated into the IT strategy. He developed an IT vision statement emphasizing productivity and connectivity anywhere, anytime, on any network, and with any device. After understanding the business's policies and processes, Sahu proposed automating processes for mobile and in-field staff to the Council Executive Team. The proposal aimed to enable staff to capture data and initiate workflows while in the field, promising significant productivity and efficiency gains.
关于客户
Auburn City Council is responsible for a 31 square kilometre local government area in the heart of Sydney, located 17 kilometres from the Sydney central business district and six kilometres from Parramatta. The area is home to major attractions such as Sydney Olympic Park, Bicentennial Park, Auburn Botanic Gardens, and the Gallipoli Mosque. The city is culturally diverse, with residents from 124 countries. The Council's workforce is highly mobile, with 38% of staff operating in the field, including inspectors and maintenance personnel. The Council aims to provide effective and efficient productivity tools and solutions to support its operations.
解决方案
Sahu's team investigated mobile enabling technologies and chose OneBlink, an Australian Mobile Enterprise Application Platform (MEAP) provider. OneBlink's partner, EcoView Mobile, tailored a solution for the Council, enabling staff to capture, send, and receive data remotely using mobile forms. BlinkForms was selected for its flexibility, scalability, and offline capabilities, which were crucial for maintaining productivity without network connections. The pilot project commenced in mid-2011, involving OneBlink, EcoView, Infor (developer of Pathway), and internal stakeholders. EcoView developed mobile forms for the Tree Coordinator to enter data and photographs using the Blink mobility platform. A custom adaptor was created to integrate Blink with Pathway, and integration was also established with the Council's records management, email, and GPS systems. Security measures, including mobile device management software, SSL encryption, and remote wiping, were implemented to ensure data security.

Case Study
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.

Case Study
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.
Case Study
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.
Case Study
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.
Case Study
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.
