UrbanOS is now connected in 25 cities, enabling them to function as smart cities.
Powering Up Smart Cities: The urbanOS Revolution
Get ready for a game-changer in urban management! dataMatters GmbH - a spin-off from RWTH Aachen University - has unveiled urbanOS, the globe's first operating system exclusively tailored for Smart Cities. Over 25 cities in Germany have already embraced this "digital town hall," and the demand is skyrocketing. City powerhouses such as Cologne, Munich, and Dormagen joined forces to boost efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life.
At the heart of urbanOS lies a multi-layered structure. City sensors diligently collect data on various aspects, transmitting it to a data room for sophisticated AI analysis. The resulting insights and future predictions are delivered to municipal decision-makers via their screens via an intuitive dashboard called urbanCockpit. With urbanOS, city services and administration perform marvels, all with minimal investments.
With the initial costs kept low, municipalities retain control over their local sensors while relying on dataMatters for the data room, AI logic, and urbanCockpit. Many inquirers are astounded by the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of initiating a test project for a Smart City. Dr. Daniel Trauth, CEO of dataMatters, shares that numerous municipalities are just discovering the immense benefits of AI-powered, future-ready urban management.
urbanOS offers a treasure trove of application areas, from optimizing traffic and waste management to revitalizing city centers. For example, AI-assisted public transport during city festivals or cultural events can create seamless experiences for citizens while enabling cost savings for the city operator. Other common goals include ensuring water quality, reducing litter, maintaining air quality, enhancing city park irrigation, and monitoring energy and resource usage in public buildings. Rest assured, information security and privacy remain untouched, as no personal data is collected, and all operations take place in German data centers.
Angling to take the first steps towards "smartification," dataMatters has launched a nine-month pilot program for municipalities, districts, and cities. Freebies include 50 ready-to-use sensors, access to the urbanOS data room and AI, and a customized urbanCockpit with dashboards catering to diverse application areas. Municipalities can apply for a test operation at www.urbanos.datamatters.io/de#district_pilot.
dataMatters prides itself on the application of AI in the real economy across domains like Smart City, Smart Factory, Industry 4.0, Smart Building, IoT, machinery and plant engineering, healthcare, agriculture, and more. Leveraging data from real operations to inspect, analyze, and automate, the system shapes the future of urban living while fostering efficiency and sustainability. DataMatters, founded by Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Wirt. Ing. Daniel Trauth from RWTH Aachen, has quickly grown into an international player, changing the conversation at the intersection of the real economy and AI. With over 20 honorable accolades to his credit, including the RWTH Spin-off Award 2019 and digitalPioneer 2020, he also serves as Co-Chairman of the "Real-World AI Forum" in the esteemed Diplomatic Council, where he provides guidance to world bodies such as the United Nations on Smart Cities.
- The multi-layered urbanOS, with its AI analysis capabilities, is revolutionizing urban management by providing insights and future predictions to city decision-makers, enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life.
- Within the urbanOS framework, Artificial Intelligence plays a pivotal role, not only in Smart City management, but also in other domains like Smart Factory, Smart Building, IoT, healthcare, agriculture, and more, shaping the future of smart living with its data-driven automation.
