About The Customer
Città di Lugano is a local government agency in southern Switzerland’s Italian-speaking Ticino region. It is one of the most forward-thinking and digitized local government agencies in Europe. With its citizens’ portal, more than 67,000 residents can interact directly with the local government. Città di Lugano’s long-term vision is to increase the quality of life, provide better, sustainable services and to improve governance. One of the ways it does this is by providing easily accessible, always available, user-friendly and transparent digital services.
The Challenge
Città di Lugano, a local government agency in Switzerland, aimed to increase the quality of life, provide better, sustainable services and to improve governance by providing easily accessible, always available, user-friendly and transparent digital services. They wanted to enable all customers, whether they be citizens, visitors or businesses, to trigger and actively participate in business processes. However, they needed a robust and scalable solution to achieve this. They evaluated three different solutions available on the market, but ultimately chose Camunda.
The Solution
Città di Lugano built a Portal solution centered around the Camunda BPM Engine executing business processes. Camunda orchestrates the interaction with back-end information systems, where data is stored, and third-party services like PSP services. Customers can interact with the Portal, through a custom web application implemented in Angular, accessing the process engine through the REST API. Città di Lugano implemented a dedicated UI to provide customers with a seamless, corporate-branded experience on desktop and mobile. Administrative personnel interact with business processes using the out-of-thebox Camunda Task List, which can be customized so that users can focus on their respective responsibilities. Identity and access management functionality is implemented on top of ForgeRock IAM platform, with Camunda relying on a ForgeRock OpenDJ component for managing users and user groups. The full stack is completely redundant, running in two different data centers, with Camunda configured as a cluster of process engines using a shared, real-time replicated database.

Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.

China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.

Barcelona Case Study
Barcelona’s heavy traffic and its associated high levels of pollution were the primary factors that motivated some companies and universities to work on strategies for improving traffic in the city centre. Bitcarrier is one of the technologies involved in the In4Mo Project, whose main objective is to develop the applications that form the core of smart mobility, one of the fundamental pillars of the smart city concept.
