MAKING AFRICAN CITIES SMARTER AND SAFER THROUGH PEOPLE AND TECHNOLOGY
Africa is urbanizing at a rapid rate and many cities generate increasingly data. Good management and governance questions are recurrent. Cities officials are trying to find solutions that are aligned with the needs and growing demography of the populations, the world of transport and logistics is constantly evolving, manufacturers are looking for increasingly intelligent solutions to improve their value chains. Added to these - huge challenges in the area of health, education, food, water, energy, mobility, waste and environment. These are major challenges that call for smarter solutions. Simultaneously, these data offer unique opportunities to improve sustainability and make these cities smarter.
What is it
A smart city is an urban area that uses different sensors and data collection systems to provide information that optimizes the efficiency of city operations and services; This includes data collected from citizens, devices, buildings and assets, that is then processed and analyzed to monitor and manage systems. Its concept integrates information and communication technologies (ICT) and various physical devices connected to the network, constituting the Internet of Things. With its Smart & Safe City solutions, IT-Towers intends to bring urban authorities the technological means to such ends.
What We Do
Development solutions
To making our cities a little bit smarter together !
The data deluge from technologies is driving a greater need of automation. We helps convert this real-time data to enable workflows to act on them, driving new levels of operational agility. We intervene at different scales, from the building to the city, from planning to design and management of the technological solutions best suited to develop cities.
Internet of Things
IoT solutions dedicated to your needs.
By interconnecting the Internet and objects, physical environments, a new Internet of Things is being born, considered as the third evolution of the Internet. We provide know-how covering IoT integration into enterprise systems. We help find the right sensor and gateway, connect and manage device, and visualize data.
Smarter industries
Industrial Automation to make factories smarter.
Industries are becoming smarter as machines and services are connected. We leverage Cloud computing, RFID chips, IoT, machine-to-machine communication, to drive automation. Our approach helps modernize plant IT infrastructure with cloud, edge computing, network services, advanced analytics, and security solutions.
What makes us unique ?
Security-minded approach to make cities smart and more safe
The smart city is first of all a city better managed by ICTs. However, the use of ICT does not in itself create a smart city. These technologies must be deployed in addition to a more global strategy. This is a real planning mission, both for architects and urban planners, but also and above all for ICT specialists.
The underlying premise of these smart cities is greater availability of data and information, and advancements in digital engineering are the most significant enablers of these changes. However, the increased use and dependence on these technologies, creates significant vulnerabilities and associated security issues.
The security approach that is developed by IT-Towers for the smart transformation of cities supports in the planning and modernization of resilient cities focused on improving the user experience and reinforce the security-minded policies and processes, that might already be in place within a local authority or other organizations.
IT-Towers will take on these challenges together with you, by bringing people, technology and ideas together, using smart hardware and software solutions. And by linking our knowledge of your market to integrated, innovative IT solutions for your city, company, product or project.
