Following the success of its first edition in 2014, "Innovative City" will bring together representatives from innovative, connected, and sustainable cities at the Nice Convention Centre at the end of June. The aim of this new international event is to highlight the role of cities in the energy transition. The two-day program will include conferences, exchanges of experiences, and exhibitions of spaces and networks.
As a major player in the field of public lighting, GE Lighting will present its latest innovative solutions at the upcoming "Innovative City" event. These solutions enable cities to regulate energy use thanks to cutting-edge technologies based on Big Data and the Industrial Internet.
In fact, the company is about to launch two pilot programs in San Diego and Jacksonville, USA, that will revolutionize public lighting. These two cities will implement the new LED solution, in which sensors installed and connected to the lighting fixtures will collect and analyze data in real time, optimizing their operation.
This new service will allow communities to significantly reduce operating and maintenance costs, as energy costs are much lower. Furthermore, through the implementation of connected public lighting, users will experience an improved quality of life. For example, the use of connected LEDs can now transmit information to drivers, guiding them to available parking spaces in the heart of a congested city like San Diego.
To further explore this topic, Austin Ashe, Head of Smart Cities at GE Software, will participate in the "Welcoming Cities and Disruptive Innovation" conference on Thursday, June 25th at 9:30 am. Along with other Smart Cities specialists, Austin Ashe will demonstrate the numerous benefits municipalities can gain by implementing solutions based on Big Data collection. The vast amount of information users can generate through the "everything connected" concept optimizes assets and, consequently, significantly reduces costs.
