Advantages of IoT for public buildings Digitization of real estate improves user experience Ease of network deployments (low cost overlay implementation) Real time reporting KPI of complete property portfolio drives operational efficiencies Actionable insights help to reduce carbon footprint To bring its vision to life, SBH partnered with DIGIMONDO to create a digital-ready foundation for the initiative. The solution employs the niota platform, connected to a network of sensors to help make the facility management processes more agile and the operations more sustainable. The entire solution is based on a DIGIMONDO network and application layer, which automatically captures data to simplify facility management, uses analytics to provide insights, and offers embedded security everywhere. DIGIMONDO's wireless LoRaWAN solutions support an IoT (Internet of Things) network in the building of SBH, delivering connectivity to a network of sensors. LoRaWAN is a leading IoT Protocol, ideal for connecting objects off the electricity grid with sensors running with a long life battery of 5 - 10 years. The facility management environment is ideal setting for a LoRa implementation as it supports implementing an overlay solution with minimal operations and maintenance costs. Data from the LoRaWAN network is collected and visualized to suit the school maintenance staff. Also data from other IoT networks such as SigFox and WiFi are aggregated in the niota platform offering a single application interface for all data generated in the IoT Network for any building.
