Every time we read or hear more the expression “Smart City”. The need to guide society towards sustainability means that large cities must use technology and innovation to improve or create infrastructure for citizens.

Much of this has to say Imatek Advanced Technologies, a benchmark company in the design and development of equipment for the improvement of these smart cities.

We can define Smart City as that city capable of using technology to respond to the needs of institutions, businesses and citizens in an efficient and sustainable manner.

This technology is used in different aspects of day-to-day in localities such as public transport, the environment, energy saving…

With these Smart Cities are achieved aspects such as: improve the distribution of resources, facilitate the day to day of citizens, transparency and accessibility of the data of the administration… In short, comfort and resources for the inhabitants of the city have more quality of life and cover their needs in the best way.

Smart Cities and everything around them know a lot in Imatek. The Basque company has become one of the leading exponents of smart cities. Its technological solutions allow the creation and development of intelligent IoT equipment (“Internet of Things”) tailored to the clients.

In this way, they are able to carry out different plans for the monitoring and control of the city, connecting the data to the cloud to obtain the information in real time.

City councils in towns such as Bilbao or San Sebastián have equipment made by Imatek to measure noise, air quality, pollution control…

Through a web platform they offer advanced services in real time to take intelligent and appropriate action.

An example of this are its smart chests. A product that knows what kind of facilities it has under it and the state of it. With a simple mobile application or through augmented reality, the maintenance technician see the facilities and connections between boxes and have at the time of all the information. With this mechanism will be avoided breakages of facilities that cause lack of supplies such as water, electricity….

The future of cities lies in sustainability and energy efficiency and in that, companies like Imatek Advanced Technologies have a lot to say. Its technological solutions facilitate the day to day of the inhabitants and ensure that the localities adapt quickly to the new changes in society.
