  • The first projects of the Dietiker Smart City project have been implemented

    The first projects of the Dietiker Smart City project have been implemented

    On the evening of September 27, the population of Dietic was informed on the church square about the implementation of the Smart City project developed by the city of Dietikon and the electricity company of the Canton of Zurich ( EKZ ). The inauguration of the first sub-projects took place.

    According to the press release , there is now a charging station for electric cars on Zelgliplatz, which is available while shopping, but can also be used by residents. Electric bikes can be charged in the basement of the two-storey bike house near the train station. A camera detects free parking spaces in the Hedinger car park. Public WiFi is available to the public at the market hall. There, an air measuring station records temperature, humidity and air pollutants such as fine dust or ozone. The station is supplemented by a network of other environmental sensors distributed across the city. In winter, measuring the ground temperature warns of possible black ice.

    "Only networking and the intelligent use of data leads to added value for the population and for the administration, as one strives for in a Smart City," Jörg Haller, Head of Smart City and Public Lighting at EKZ, is quoted as saying.

    The environmental data recorded at the measuring stations should be displayed transparently, for example on monitors in the town hall. "The city's extensive data is already used today for traffic and construction planning," Mayor Roger Bachmann is quoted as saying. "The prize money from the SFOE gave us another boost," continued Bachmann.

    The Smart City project won the main prize in the Smart City Innovation Challenge of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy ( SFOE ) at the beginning of 2021 and thus received funding of CHF 100,000.

  • Branch Collab – everything is there, everything is included

    Branch Collab – everything is there, everything is included

    All the user has to do is bring their personal device – WiFi, printer, coffee bars and everything they need to work are already available in the Branch Collab. And here you not only work at your own table, but also in the work lounge and in creative zones, in lobbies, in big rooms and at the “work bar”. The opportunity to meet other entrepreneurs and exchange experiences over a casual coffee is a great advantage in creative work and networking.

    Work as a community project
    The new co-working area enables the exchange of ideas and opinions, increases productivity and enables more targeted work. More sustainable and often more unconventional results are achieved collaboratively. In addition, the Branch Collab provides meeting rooms with modern equipment, which allow presentations to be held with customers and employees in a professional environment.

    Industrial environment
    Branch Collab is an initiative of Halter AG, which also relocated its headquarters to Schlieren to JED last year. The architectural concept of JED combines sustainably converted industrial infrastructure with pioneering new office architecture and is designed entirely for knowledge transfer, creativity and innovation.

    Flexible booking packages
    Workplaces and meeting rooms can be rented flexibly and on an hourly or daily basis. Attractive packages offer individuals and smaller companies modern plug & work workplaces as well as meeting rooms, work lounges and creative rooms – all of this paired with varied gastronomy – from the Caffetino coffee bar with its own roastery to the Eve’s Kitchen restaurant.

  • Swarm should enable intelligent charging stations

    Swarm should enable intelligent charging stations

    With Pico, the company smart-me has developed a new charging station for electric vehicles. This connects to the cloud via the local WLAN or cellular network. This makes the station intelligent and can, for example, easily be coupled with a solar system, as a message shows. The operator can decide for himself when and at what price vehicles can be charged at the station.

    Overall, Pico should make the installation of charging stations more attractive. As a result, previously undeveloped areas should also receive a charging infrastructure. In addition, electric cars are good buyers of locally produced solar power, emphasizes smart-me.

    To finance the mass production of the charging station, smart-me started a swarm financing campaign on Kickstarter on July 8th. The company wants to collect over 50,000 francs.
