Ensuring the safety and security of citizens and visitors is key to the success and progress of any city. This is especially true for Atlanta being one of the most multicultural cities in the U.S., and it attracts investment from across the globe. As with any large city, Atlanta is becoming more reliant on the use of visual intelligence to help identify and resolve safety and security incidents faster and more precisely. 

A smart facility management system to manage 5 new towersElectra group of companies has been developing new high-rise commercial towers intended for high-end customers. Recently the company has finished building 5 new towers.All towers are installed with IoT devices, smart power and water management, smart lighting, smart cleaning systems, controllable machines and sensors, security and safety systems, and parking and gate systems, all of which need to be both smart and green, but also offer advanced high-level services for the tower’s residents and offices.Electra needed to find a cloud-based, smart facility management system, that could integrate, control, and monitor all their towers remotely from their main HQ.The system should be flexible and generic for all types of systems installed and should have customizable integration workflows and rules for automating all sub-systems’ control and operations.The solution should incorporate a mobile application for all facility management staff to receive technical alarms and faults, as well as control smart elements directly from the phone.The solution should have a visitor management system built in.The solution should assist in cutting down facility management costs, time of response to faults, and reduce utility charges.

The primary concern for AdventHealth Orlando was security. The hospital’s security staff, although well-trained and conscientious, could not be everywhere at once. They needed extra “eyes” to catch what people could not. This was especially true in cases such as when a sick or injured person was hastily dropped off at the emergency room by a driver who then sped away. The local sheriff’s office would have to document the incident and identify the driver, but the hospital’s staff was unable to do that reliably.There was also a need for real-time analysis of traffic entering and leaving the hospital. This would tell the security staff how much parking was used by staff and patients and at what times of the day. The efficient operation of the hospital and plans for future growth depended on this data.

As Missouri S&T has grown, so has the demand for new facilities and updated buildings, which necessitated additional security solutions. The university was using a number of different platforms to control access to various buildings that made up the main campus of the university, as well as a physical lock-and-key system that posed a problem with oversight and management. With 35 buildings and numerous residence halls to manage, Missouri S&T sought to automate various systems through a centralized access control platform.Missouri S&T staff wanted the ability to incorporate data into its human resources, student management, course enrollment, and event management system. For example, only students and relevant staff would have access to student dormitories after hours. S&T staff wanted a system that allowed access and excluded access based on access need and security.
