“Delivery companies have hundreds of thousands of vehicles operating in cities every day. Each of those vehicles needs a place to park, and they can end up competing for the pavement with citizens, which also creates safety concerns. Umojo designed the NexCity platform to modernise the way municipalities approach their parking infrastructure. The solution is equipped with integrations for technologies that cities already use – such as Microsoft Office 365, all major mobile apps, meters and enforcement vendors – to ensure quick deployment. NexCity also leverages the Microsoft Power BI platform for data insights, as well as video artificial intelligence. As such, it can provide data-driven recommendations to increase revenue, decrease costs, make streets safer and improve pavement equity.” Estelle Monod Building Segments President, Schneider Electric Rick Neubauer Founder and CEO, Umojo “Cities are big carbon emitters, accounting for over 70 per cent of carbon dioxide emissions, with buildings responsible for 40 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions. As more than 30 per cent of energy in building is wasted, they are a critical piece and need a massive digital injection to deliver a more efficient and sustainable future. One of our net-zero office buildings in Grenoble, France – IntenCity – uses 10 times less energy than an average European building. This is made possible by EcoStruxure solutions with Microsoft Azure, with over 60,000 data points being collected every two minutes. As we face an ongoing energy crisis, a change in mindset is key. This is not only a technical consideration, but a cultural shift. Data will also be critical to drive more comfortable and responsive workplaces for employees.” PUB L I C S E C TOR 185
