“Smart living solutions are more than the excellence that should come with managing a city; they are about people and the ability to give citizens inspiration and motivation,” said Giandri Machado, Digital Transformation Director at Stefanini. “A smart city program works to minimize the time citizens are spending in traffic or discussing problems with government or utility companies and provides them with more hours to sustain a higher quality life. We are thrilled by the tremendous potential this all-encompassing solution holds and how it will evolve how cities operate and citizens live moving forward.”

Leveraging automation, artificial intelligence, cognitive computing, computer vision, IoT and big data and analytics, the Smart Cities solution collects data to improve utility allocation, airport operations and city processes.
