Revolutionizing AI-driven IoT in a demanding Swedish village

SmartaByar (Smart Villages) and Sensative AB have announced a groundbreaking partnership, establishing the village of Veberöd in Skåne as the ultimate proving ground for cutting-edge sustainable technology. This collaboration will not only transform Veberöd into a model of sustainable living but will also rigorously test Sensative's IoT solutions in a complex, real-world environment..

Veberöd presents a unique set of challenges: demanding stakeholders, a diverse geographical landscape, and the need for cost-effective, integrated solutions that incorporate multiple sensor types. By tackling these complexities head-on, Sensative aims to demonstrate the adaptability and robustness of its technology, ensuring its readiness for widespread deployment in villages worldwide.

"Behind the charisma of a postcard Swedish village lies a drive for operational excellence that an airport management team would respect, says Mats Pettersson, CTO of Sensative. “This partnership is not just about innovation; it's about proving IoT capabilities in the most challenging of environments. By meeting the high expectations of Veberöd's stakeholders and delivering sustainable solutions that work seamlessly in a complex real-world setting, we are setting a new standard for smart village technology."

Jan Malmgren from Smarta byar adds: "We partner with Sensative because we believe they have the expertise to deliver solutions that meet our exacting requirements. This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to excellence and our belief in the transformative power of technology."

Existing applications already running include:

• Smart Trees: Trees equipped with sensors to monitor their water needs.
• Alarms: A system that triggers 25 alarms within a 9-week period.
• Grid of Sensors: A network of sensors used for various monitoring purposes.
• Air Quality Monitoring: Sensors to measure and assess air quality.
• Noise Monitoring: Sensors to measure and assess noise levels.
• Traffic Flow Monitoring: Systems utilizing LORA, AI, QR codes, and radar to track traffic patterns.
• Speeding Monitoring: Monitoring and recording instances of vehicles exceeding speed limits.
• Smart Lightposts: Light posts equipped with technology for various purposes (not specified).
• 3D Gates: (not specified).

The learnings from this real-world laboratory will accelerate the development of sustainable solutions that benefit communities worldwide. This partnership will solidify Veberöd's position as a beacon of innovation, illuminating the path towards a sustainable, digitally connected future for villages across the globe.
