Smart cities use technology to improve services and the quality of life for their residents. This involves using data and technology to make cities more efficient and responsive to the needs of their communities.
CHALLENGE: The Obstacles For A Tech Startup
Starting a tech company can be tough, especially without the right tools. For Eridanis, the challenge was huge: they needed advanced technology to get off the ground and tackle big projects in the competitive tech world.
SOLUTION: The Role Of FIWARE In Eridanis’ Strategy
FIWARE is a set of open-source software that helps build smart city solutions. It includes tools for managing data in cities, making it a perfect match for Eridanis’ goals. The NGSI standard and data models initiative are key parts of FIWARE, helping Eridanis and other companies build effective smart city applications.
IMPLEMENTATION: Setting Up Smart City Tech
In 2016, Eridanis began using FIWARE to develop a data platform for the Nice Côte d’Azur metropolis. This platform uses FIWARE’s software to collect and manage data, helping the city run more smoothly. Over time, Eridanis has added new data sets and maintained the system to keep it useful and up-to-date.
IMPACT: Positive Changes From FIWARE Technology
Thanks to FIWARE, Eridanis has helped cities like Nice Côte d’Azur and Noisy le Grand manage everything from traffic to air quality. Their work has earned them praise from high-level officials, including the French Prime Minister. Eridanis’ efforts have shown that smart technology can make a big difference in managing city services and improving life for residents.
