II.1.4) Short description
Wrexham County Borough Council wish to establish a Framework for LoRaWAN IOT sensors and other associated hardware for the expansion of the Wrexham Smart Towns initiative.
The SMART Towns initiative was launched in 2022 and has proven highly successful. It is hosted within the Regeneration team at Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC), links to the Council plan and is backed by the Welsh Government. WCBC is now seen as one of the leading authorities in the UK on implementing IOT (Internet of Things) sensors to obtain data to help the Council make better informed decisions. These sensors obtain data sets such as footfall, dwell time, air quality and traffic data etc. Progress has seen some key benefits to the local authority, including the ability to make efficiencies. The use of moisture sensors within the city centre has provided data that ensures the local authority embeds a smarter way of working, as it only has to water necessary plant beds. The authority is now looking to expand on the success of the pilots and explore more possible projects, such as flood monitoring (flood risk team), air quality (open spaces team), road temperature sensors to identify savings on gritting, sensors to highlight potential savings on energy, and the technology is to be introduced to parts of Social Care to ensure SMART is a way of life to ensure the safety of our residents
