EGP ha sperimentato con successo a Catania un innovativo pallone aerostatico per assicurare la connessione wireless nei cantieri. Molti i vantaggi: per l’operatività, per le persone e per l’ambiente.

I palloni aerostatici, i primi veicoli volanti inventati dall’uomo nel Settecento, sono ancora oggi di grande utilità in numerosi campi, dalla meteorologia allo studio dell’atmosfera, e in tempi recenti sono tornati alla ribalta anche per le telecomunicazioni: grazie all’avvento di nuovi materiali e tecnologie, oggi sono in grado di alloggiare sensori, antenne e dispositivi di rete.

Proprio in quest’ambito si è conclusa da poco una sperimentazione di Enel Green Power per la connettività avanzata. Presso l’Innovation Lab di Catania, in Italia, abbiamo testato con successo un prototipo di pallone in grado di funzionare come struttura per la connessione wireless.

Lo scopo finale è impiegare aerostati di questo tipo per garantire comunicazioni affidabili nei grandi siti di costruzione degli impianti di EGP nelle zone prive di infrastrutture. La soluzione consentirà alle persone che lavorano nei cantieri di contattare in tempo reale i colleghi a distanza, e abiliterà l’utilizzo delle più innovative tecnologie di robotizzazione e automazione, in particolare strumenti di Internet of Things come smart-glasses e altri dispositivi individuali.

Il progetto è stato condotto in collaborazione con l’azienda siciliana BizMate, specializzata nell’integrazione di sistemi, simulando le condizioni più frequenti riscontrate nelle centrali elettriche alimentate da fonti rinnovabili, in particolare quelle di maggiori dimensioni e situate in aree isolate.

The Institute of Higher Education “Eugenio Bona” in Biella has recently adopted V-App Smart Vision Analytics in order to ensure the safety of students, teachers, and staff. This is an artificial intelligence solution, developed by the synergy between Cisco Meraki and Bizmate.

The V-App solution, integrated with the Cisco Meraki Smart Cameras infrastructure, allows the user to: analyze people flows, monitor crowded areas into buildings, be alerted anytime social distancing is not fulfilled, receive real-time notifications on the use of PPE. The frequency of use of the restrooms is also analyzed, in order to optimize sanitization activities.

Data collected from the Cisco Meraki cameras are anonymously processed, in full compliance with the privacy regulations, since faces are not identified by the Smart Cameras, only human shapes are.

V-App analyzes the images viewed by the cameras, allowing the user to set thresholds and sending alerts accordingly. It also generates statistics, collecting high-interest data through a series of easy-to-read dashboards. A multi-channel messaging system can send audio alerts, e-mails, SMS, or notifications using the most common instant messaging platforms such as Telegram, Messenger, or Cisco Webex.

V-App Smart Vision Analytics is the ideal solution for companies and organizations of various sizes, even with detached branches, ensuring growth and scalability, ease of installation and management. Since the early days of the Covid-19 emergency, Bizmate has been committed to making its contribution to the safety of the most popular spaces, whether public or private. The collaboration with the “Eugenio Bona” Institute of Higher Education in Biella makes us particularly proud, having given us the opportunity to contribute to the serenity of all the staff and students engaged in such an important moment of their lives.

Many people around the world in last weeks have been forced to stay at home. Schools have canceled classes, retail stores, bars and other gathering places have shuttered. Major events were called off with a domino-like effect. These closures are all attempts to encourage social distancing, a crucially important public health intervention that can help stop transmission of the Covid-19 as argued from the major health authorities of the Countries involved in this, that seems to be the biggest global emergency, since the end of the WWII.

Although many commercial activities are stopped, those of vital importance are continuing to operate, such as production, some forms of consultancy but above all people must make supplies of food in safe conditions. Fortunately also in this case, the respectful and intelligent use of technology can be a formidable ally to help people to maintain an acceptable social distancing, thanks to non-invasive and privacy-friendly monitoring tools, like Social Distancing Monitoring. A new application for V-App Enterprise that thanks to the use of the Cisco Meraki smart cameras allow to monitor the distance between people in a given area, sending alerts when a so-called “collision” occurs, ie when two or more people are closer to each other than the suggested distance, also monitoring real-time people’s concentration with the help of interactive heat maps. A multi-channel alert system conveys alerts on the most popular instant messaging platforms such as Messenger, Webex, Telegram and WhatsApp, or through email, sms and screens or sound devices.

Social Distance Monitoring, is a V-App Enterprise solution, try it for free until April 30th.
Thank you and see you very soon!

New York City of Retail

The NRF2020 is one of those events of which you understand the greatness only after you participated. Indeed, in those days your mind is busy dealing with tons of information coming from an incredible amount of stimulating people. During the days of NRF New York became the world capital not only of retail business but also of innovation, hosting the most brilliant and visionary minds in the world who with their passionate speeches inspired the huge public attending to the event.

As technology partners, we were guests at the Cisco booth where we had the opportunity to show the results of our work, such as the dashboards developed specifically for the retail industry. Four demo dashboards connected to Cisco Meraki Wi-Fi and MV Sense Camera and installed on the booth for the occasion, which allowed us showing live how easily you can get precious data to be used in innovative marketing strategies in the point of sale with our technological solution. Although we had not a single minute for shopping, as in any journey the baggage on the way back was heavier than on departure; ours in particular was full of new opportunities, contacts, the estimate of old and new friends and, above all, the awareness that the path we’ve taken few years ago is the right one.

Once again thanks to the friends of Cisco for this wonderful opportunity, to all those who have come to visit our installation asking for information, targeting questions or even just to say hello and staying with us just for a cup of coffee.

See you next event, meanwhile watch the NRF2020 video!
