“Archway” – A Smart Asset Management & Emergency Response System Using Augmented Reality

Date: October 23, 2018

Location: Nicosia, Cyprus

Presented by INTUS Smartcities’ CEO Dimitris Agouridis

On October 23rd 2018, INTUS Smartcities’ CEO Dimitris Agouridis will present at the 3rd annual Security Project Conference taking place in Nicosia, Cyprus. The event aspires to highlight the ways in which the world can integrate security in smart cities and smart buildings. INTUS Smartcities is also a sponsor of this conference.

This conference focuses on the idea that Smart Cities and Smart Buildings are no longer a utopia, but a reality. The evolution of technologies focused around IoT and A.I., as well as the need to unify building equipment -either for large installations or even for home applications- has led the security sector towards to a new direction as well.

This annual conference will once more, be the most significant meeting place for security experts in Cyprus and everyone that has a general interest in this sector, participating in an event to learn, communicate, exchange knowledge and information, highlight thoughts, and get a chance at extroversion.

 The conference is scheduled to cover a wide range of subjects, with presentations by state institutions and speakers with experience and knowledge in various security sectors. At the same time, in the Conference area, an expo will take place, where relevant companies will present products, complete solutions and security services.

Mr. Agouridis will present INTUS Smartcities’ leadership in this “smart” field, including multiple initiatives pertaining to smart cities and smart buildings. These initiatives are primarily focused on infrastructure asset management, pipeline integrity management, emergency response systems and augmented reality technologies.

INTUS Smartcities technology, “Archway” (Patent Pending) is a cutting-edge system that allows users the ability to dynamically view each element of a structure using augmented reality. This technology has applications in building construction, building maintenance, as well as emergency response. It functions with two cases of structures: existing and new structure construction.

Augmented reality (AR) can dramatically change the way building construction, maintenance, and repairs are carried out, and emergency response is dramatically improved through infrastructure management. By mapping out what is behind each wall in a building, data can be integrated into applications for a number of uses.

A video demonstrating “Archway” in action can be seen below.
