Brief Description of the Site

 

This use case for the VICINITY platform will be demonstrated at the M:6 co-working space in Norway. M:6 provides open plan co-working space as well as traditional office spaces, their aim is to provide a unique environment where people from different companies can share knowledge and inspiration from each other. M:6 is operated and managed by CWI. They are eager to incorporate new technologies that can improve daily work and management of the building. 

 

This VICINITY use-case will be centred on using IoT technologies to improve resource management, resource consumption and predictive operations in buildings. Using wireless door sensors, as well as wireless electricity- and water meters, the two VAS will inform and alarm the management team about typical and non-typical situations. The information and alarms will enable them to target their cleaning efforts, shed electricity loads, discover water leaks and track their resource consumption in real time, thus saving time and money.

 

Using a variety of sensors from different vendors and suppliers, the Pilot Site will demonstrate the possibility by using a common platform for integrating different technologies.

 

Sensors will be provided by Tiny Mesh, BS-teknikk, Vitir and with adapters designed for different API’s. Motion sensors, door sensors and energy sensors will give the stakeholders information to improve quality of work or be able to use information from smart devices to gain effectivity and customers satisfaction.
