IoT architecture was built for Florence to enable the city to reduce its water consumption and optimise the time operators spend carrying out checks in the field. A data platform consolidates the information gathered in the field and transfers them to the city’s control centre.

Following on from this initial milestone, the city is looking to move into other local services, such as mobility, tourism and civil protection.
