Deployment of a system to address transparency about public data collection and a secure IoT service assurance offering are among the finalists in the Trusted IoT Service category of the 2024 Australian IoT Awards.
The awards are the official awards program of IoT Alliance Australia, Australia’s peak industry body for Internet of Things (IoT), and IoT Hub.
The entries provide a snapshot of how IoT is being used to advance productivity, security and sustainability across Australian industry and government, from water and energy to manufacturing and government services.
Winners of IoT Awards categories will be announced over networking drinks and canapes at the culmination of the 2024 IoT Impact conference on June 13 at UTS in Sydney.
In its fifth year, the IoT Impact conference and exhibition will explore, debate and uncover how Australia organisations can achieve sustainability goals, achieve trust and implement IoT technologies to create a data smart Australia. Purchase tickets and see the IoT Impact Conference agenda here.
The Trusted IoT Service Award finalists:
Transport for NSW and Sydney Olympic Park’s digital trust for places and routines project, to support a smart Sydney Olympic Park
This project became the first organisation in the Southern Hemisphere to rollout Digital Trust for Places and Routines (DTPR) - an open-source communication standard to increase transparency and accountability for digital technology in public places.
DTPR is a wayfinding system for IoT solutions used in public places, aiming to make data collection more visible. The signs tell the story of the technology in use, the data being collected, who is collecting it and what they are using it for. A QR code helps community members and visitors learn more, ask and provide feedback.
The system has been used to communicate about a smart irrigation management pilot, a pilot using AI vision to reduce litter in Sydney Harbour’s waterways, and a pilot using de-identified footage and other data for crowd safety purposes.
SAPHI’s visual sensing technology for secure urban data capture
Dubbed “ShellShock AI”, this offering addresses the challenge of collecting and consolidating data about urban environments without storing personal or confidential data.
The offering consolidates functions of such devices as road ropes, bike and people counters into a single edge computing sensor, processing data at the edge to overcome bandwidth constraints.
The system is also designed to integrate with council dashboards, and is used by Lake Macquarie City Council in NSW.
Nucleus3’s IoT service assurance offering, providing purpose driven outcomes
Nucleus3’s post-delivery of IoT program of work aimed to drive business value from a metering project while upholding security policies and regulations.
For example, it took data generated from IoT devices deployed with Nucleus3’s proprietary platform enhancements to improve customer leak notifications, enable proactive failure analysis, enable data driven failure analysis inputs to customer capital works programs, and use cases that ensured correct deployment and alignment of devices.
Nucleus’s service assurance work aligns to government regulations, while ensuring data created and analysed is verified and validated while upholding strict governance per CyberGRX processes.
Authentication and controls for use of systems, platforms and devices is aligned to strict security procedures and policies.
Thank you to all entrants
If your entry isn’t a finalist, that does not mean the judges thought it was without merit. Separating the nominations was not always straightforward. Thank you for giving the judges the opportunity to learn more about your achievements.
A special thank you to the award judges who brought valuable knowledge in key domains to the judging process.
We also thank IoT Skills Australia for making the 2024 IoT Awards possible though their sponsorship.
The IoT Impact conference will be held in Sydney on 13 June, 2024, at the Great Hall, UTS. Purchase tickets and see the IoT Impact Conference agenda here.
