Zoi has developed a digital passersby counter for the city center of Ludwigsburg, which measures the flow of visitors all year round. This enables targeted actions to increase the attractiveness of the city. With the introduction of this technology, Ludwigsburg is taking a step forward toward Smart City.

To transmit data, LoRaWAN technology is used because it can transfer data over long distances. This significantly reduces the installation effort, since only a few gateways are required in the city area. Retrofitting in existing urban areas is therefore also associated with minimal effort.

Every WLAN-enabled end device communicates continuously with an access point or searches for one within range. The passersby counter collects the anonymized MAC address of the device to determine the number of devices present. Only the aggregated number of MAC addresses is transmitted to and stored in the AWS Cloud infrastructure.

In order to make the information stored in the cloud infrastructure accessible, the data is visualized in a dashboard. Users can call up the dashboard directly via their web browser without complex installations or software updates. The standard view shows the number of recorded passers-by per day, week, and month. Additional views can be configured and added at any time.

When Google invites, we are happy to join in. The last two days we were at the opening event »Google Cloud Region-Launch Berlin-Brandenburg«. There were keynotes with Google Cloud Executives and 16+ breakout sessions - like our sponsored talk on "Self-promotion for more inclusion at work".

Thanks for the inspiration Julia Schulte-Laggenbeck, Friederike Müller and Mariana Ziemer 🚀

Good to know that Google Cloud is now also in the region of our Berlin office.

Three questions, many different answers, and your direct insight into our everyday life. For all of you who prefer watching instead of reading.

What promotes new perspectives and fresh ideas? Yes – a hackathon. And we love those!

Colleagues from around the world have joined our AI hackathon as part of this year's summer party.

In cross-disciplinary groups, they thought about how we can hack internal processes and current industrial challenges with and through AI.

The results were impressive. And instead of one prize, we awarded four prizes.

The awards were presented in four categories:

🏆 Storyteller Prize
DevAIce recognition – AI-powered device recognition between end user and customer

🏆 Audience Prize
A new version of our internal booking system – supported by AI

🏆 Hammer & Nails Prize
Chatbot to interrogate a database

🏆 Impact Prize
AI in Talent Acquisition

Thanks to all who participated and shared their creativity and knowledge. If you want to learn more about the ideas and the people behind them, drop us a line!
