Smart City & Municipal

Integrated solutions that unite the entire municipal operation — from citizen request to field response — on one data model, one panel, and one permission structure. Call center, IoT field infrastructure, maintenance management, and cultural-heritage technology work in the same ecosystem.

  • 1 data model, citizen to field
  • 0 electricity-bill lighting
  • 12 optional pole modules
  • Minutes, not days

Why the Smart Municipality Platform

  • One ecosystem, citizen to field

    Zeplin Desk, Solent IoT field infrastructure, Kirpi AI CMMS, and KBIS run on the same data model and permission structure.

  • AI at the front desk

    Calls are received with AI support, categorized, and auto-assigned to the right business unit before a coordinator ever touches them.

  • Assets that report in

    Municipal assets are maintained by tag, P&ID, and work order — not by complaint call.

  • Days become minutes

    The request–decision–intervention cycle is measured in minutes, on a single panel.

Smart Municipality Platform

A single ecosystem from citizen to field.

Five integrated technologies under one roof — from AI call reception to request categorization, from unit assignment to the field fix. Zeplin Desk receives and routes every request; Solent's IoT field infrastructure — smart lighting poles, sensors, and UAV detection — sees what is happening on the ground; Kirpi AI CMMS maintains municipal assets by tag, P&ID, and work order; KBIS carries tourism and cultural-heritage services on the same backbone. Because every component shares one data model and one permission structure, the request–decision–intervention cycle is cut to minutes.

  • AI-supported call reception, request categorization, and automatic assignment
  • Field detection with smart lighting poles, sensors, and UAVs
  • Tag, P&ID, and work-order-based municipal asset maintenance
  • Every component on the same data model and permission structure
  • Request–decision–intervention cycle shortened to minutes

Autonomous Smart City Lighting

One pole, an entire smart-city infrastructure.

Street lighting can consume more than 40% of a municipal budget. Solent's autonomous poles generate their own energy from sun — and wind, in the hybrid model — store it on board, and run fully off-grid: zero cabling, zero trenching, zero electricity bill. Each pole installs wirelessly in under 2 days and is managed remotely over IoT: brightness, schedules, and firmware update over the air, and faults raise an alarm and a work order before any citizen complains. Camera and sensor integration closes the city's blind spots from the same pole.

  • Solar + wind hybrid energy; grid-independent (off-grid) operation — 0 electricity bill
  • Motion-adaptive dimming (full brightness on movement, 20% when idle) adds up to 40% more savings on top of 60–80% baseline energy savings
  • Zero cabling; commissioning in under 2 days; ~70% less maintenance than conventional lighting
  • IoT remote monitoring and management: live generation/consumption/battery per pole, OTA updates, automatic fault diagnosis
  • Camera and sensor integration closes urban blind spots

12 optional smart-city modules

Every pole is a mounting point — add only the modules a site actually needs.

QR Building ID & Smart Meter Reading

Every building tells you what it is — and what it consumes.

A QR plate on the facade gives municipalities and utility operators instant access to a building's identity, permit, and safety records; in an emergency, responders reach floor plans and evacuation routes in seconds. On the metering side, water meters are read automatically and without error, leaks and overuse are caught early, and consumption data feeds transparent billing — all integrated with existing municipal databases.

  • Instant QR access to building identity, permit, and safety records
  • Rapid access to floor plans and evacuation routes in emergencies
  • Error-free automatic meter reading; early detection of leaks and overuse
  • Integration with existing municipal databases

Who it serves

  • Municipalities (parks, boulevards, squares, pedestrian zones)
  • Utility & infrastructure operators
  • Industrial zones (OSB) and logistics yards
  • Port, airport & critical-site operators
