About The Customer
The customer is a state government agency in the Asia Pacific region. This agency provides services and support for nearly 18,500 disabled people and their families. The agency operates across 130 sites and is committed to improving service levels and ensuring more effective funding. The agency had launched a transformation project with the aim of improving its services. However, the existing information system was not capable of automatically sharing information across all sites, making it difficult for staff members to serve clients effectively. Clients were required to fill out multiple applications and undergo multiple assessments to determine their eligibility for various programs.
The Challenge
A state government agency in Asia Pacific provides services and supports for nearly 18,500 disabled people and their families. The department launched a transformation project aimed at improving service levels and ensuring more effective funding. The existing information system could not automatically share information across the department’s 130 sites, which made it difficult for staff members to serve clients. Clients were required to fill out multiple applications and undergo multiple assessments to determine eligibility across programs. Matching individual needs with available services was difficult without real-time information and automated rules-based processes.
The Solution
The organization implemented IBM Cúram software to establish a more transparent, easier-to-access business-information system that will help facilitate higher quality services for people with disabilities. For individuals, the solution provides a single point of contact for personalized and simplified intake. The Cúram rule sets help to apply standardized eligibility and decisions for individuals across the state. For suppliers, the solution offers a comprehensive, easy-to-use server catalog and more efficient payment administration. It provides the department with more equitable use of its available funding, improved information and reporting systems and a better overall capacity to plan and prioritize.

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.
