Powered by Sunrise
Pascal Loretz, CEO, Kockum Sonics AG
Patrick Jud, Business informatics specialist
Civil protection is becoming increasingly relevant during these times of climate change, war and other dangers. Sirens play an important role in this. Thanks to IoT, the quality assurance and maintenance of these critical infrastructures can be made a lot more efficient. Together with several IoT ecosystem partners, Kockum Sonics AG and Sunrise Business are investing in IoT-integrated sirens. With the example of the innovative IoT solutions for the tsunami warning system in Italy and through other scenarios, we outline the opportunities of digital twins in the smart city. New approaches for 24/7 live monitoring, preventive and predictive maintenance, and the interaction of different disciplines with rapidly implementable and cost-effective IoT retro-fit projects.
