LTM Group Smarter City In The Greater Saldanha Bay Municipality Area
Dhevan stated, “the staff and management rendered a 5-star service and highly recommends this hotel for holiday or business travel. The owners want to lead by example and are keen to embrace green energy and reduce their carbon footprint for a better world. LTM Energy has been appointed as part of the first phase to use their R4.8bn funds to green the hotel, garage mall and a few estates in Langebaan. Below are pictures of some of the sites shared. These are pilots for the first phase with the intent to build a Smarter City in the greater Saldanha Bay municipality area. LTM’s proprietary software, currently been rolled out to 13 African countries, will be used as key enabler to this initiative with focus on utility (energy, water, renewables and waste) management.
Smart Cities extending from Smart Education, Energy, Healthcare, Hospitality, Retail, Transport, etc is the future that will improve the quality of lives by embracing state of the art technology. This will not only lead to convenience for the client and having a positive impact to our environment, but will indeed have a huge savings impact (through optimisation) to project developers and end clients alike for infrastructure projects such as stipulated above.
Mr Pillay compares the Smart City to a human body. He states that just as you have five senses and an interconnected mesh of nerves that relays information to the brain, a Smart City has many meters, sensors and IOT devices that uses smart communication, like fibre, that feeds intelligent information to a central data management system. LTM’s proprietary software is then used as a business intelligence tool (“the brain”) for control, monitoring and value engineering services.
LTM Group is keen to get started as part its audacious environmental targets that puts our planet and people first whilst still passing on huge savings to their clients.
