关于客户
The City of Richmond, located on Canada's west coast, serves approximately 200,000 residents. Over the past several years, the city has transformed itself from a rural, local community to an international city with a balance of urban, suburban, and rural areas. The city's recreation division offers a wide variety of programs – from day camps to swimming, dancing, and skating lessons. These programs, available to citizens of all ages, are held at more than 20 venues, including arenas, community centers, public pools, cultural/heritage facilities, and more than 90 city parks. Unlike other cities, Richmond partners with a variety of local community associations to make these services available to its residents.
挑战
The City of Richmond, Canada, faced a challenge with its new online community registration system, Class. While the system was efficient at tracking registration courses, accounts, and payments, it lacked the functionality to transfer financial data to community associations. This was a crucial aspect of the city's operations, as it determined how much money needed to be sent to the various community associations the city worked with. The city needed a solution that would enable seamless information-sharing between the registration and financial management systems and create daily financial reports to help finance staff manage registration payments and distribute funds to community groups.
解决方案
The City of Richmond deployed the WebFOCUS business intelligence (BI) platform from Information Builders to move data from its new Class registration system into a PeopleSoft financial management system. This made it easy to identify which payments belong to the city, and which belong to the associations. Each day, WebFOCUS generates a report from the PeopleSoft system, detailing new registration payments and highlighting the ones that belong to community associations. Based on the data in that report, appropriate funds are then quickly sent to the correct accounts. The city also used WebFOCUS to build a simple and intuitive dashboard that gives managers in its community centers and district offices a high-level view of registration trends. This information helps them make better, smarter decisions about how they operate to meet community needs.

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.
