Two concrete experiences about connected objects and data security
1/ Connected buildings with the startup Intent Technologies
What if our buildings resembled our smartphones? IntentOS is a digital services platform developed by the startup Intent Technologies, which is based at EuraTechnologies in Lille and incubated by the CleanTech network. Their project is an interface between buildings and their users (property managers, service providers, local governments). “Buildings can no longer be passive”, said Benjamin Ulrich, CEO of Intent Technologies.
2/ Monitoring gas networks with GRTgaz & the startup Eridanis
In the past, GRTgaz monitored its network on foot, by plane and in helicopters... Now, it can do so via ultra-secure, sensor-equipped monitoring boxes. The project was initiated by Marie-Eve Defauwe, Innovative Project Director at GRTgaz, who reached out to Eridanis, a company created in 2014 by Emmanuel Gavache that specialized in mathematical modeling, telecommunications and embedded computing. It’s currently being tested on 100 local terminals located in difficult zones.
