The Kloudspot Platform ingests data from any connected IoT source, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Environmental Sensors and cameras, and applies Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) as well as user defined security policy rules to predict actions and drive meaningful, physical engagements with constituents within any perimeter space such as city parks and other public spaces. One example is PPE detection and compliance. Kloudspot also delivers actionable insights to standard business productivity tools including Slack, Zoom, Salesforce, Microsoft Teams, WebEx and others.
With Kloudspot, cities are able to deliver more than just Wi-Fi services and traditional digital advertising programs. For example, through the innovative use of sensors to gather and digitize data from people and devices, Kloudspot converts the data into contextual location intelligence. Applications running on the Kloudspot Platform can deliver an array of smart city benefits, as well as create revenue streams for the city, deliver localized news and weather, deliver offers from local businesses, link to a city website and quickly enable local health and safety and traffic alerts.
"Kloudspot provides the ability to create a true 'Smart City' where multiple connected IoT devices are used to make a city safer, smarter and better prepared for any situation, with a 'single pane of glass' or dashboard to monitor and manage everything," said Guillermo Diaz, Jr., Kloudspot CEO. "We're proud to be recognized as a standout Smart City solution provider in the 2021 IoT Breakthrough Awards program, and we proudly share this award with our partner Quantela who developed the City of Erie deployment on the Kloudspot Platform."
