Smart City

A smart city integrates advanced technologies to enhance urban living, focusing on sustainability, efficiency, and quality of life. Emphasizing well-being and sustainability, the smart city utilizes cutting-edge data analytics and IoT solutions to optimize resources, improve public services, and foster a harmonious community that aligns with Bhutan's Gross National Happiness philosophy. Therefore, we are focusing on projects like smart water management systems and smart agriculture to achieve these goals.

Water Management System

Smart water management system (WMS) represents a groundbreaking endeavor aimed at addressing the pressing challenges associated with water scarcity and inefficient resource utilization. Despite abundant water resources, poor management practices have led to widespread shortages and wastage, highlighting the urgent need for innovative solutions. At the core of this initiative is the development of a sophisticated SCADA-based remote control and monitoring system, leveraging IoT technology to create an interconnected and intelligent water management infrastructure. This system will enable real-time monitoring and control of water flow, allowing service providers to optimize distribution and usage patterns remotely.

Smart Agriculture

To revolutionize agriculture through the implementation of cutting-edge smart technologies, fostering sustainable practices, and maximizing productivity while minimizing environmental impact, we harness the power of data-driven decision-making, precision agriculture techniques, and innovative solutions. We aim to empower farmers to optimize resource utilization, enhance crop quality, and ensure food security for present and future generations. Through collaboration, research, and continuous innovation, we strive to create a more resilient and efficient agricultural ecosystem that balances economic prosperity with environmental stewardship.
