By integrating multiple AI models, the system operates round the clock to identify points of energy waste and offers targeted optimization recommendations. With real-time trend analysis and historical data comparisons, customers gain a clear understanding of changes in their energy consumption patterns.

Pioneering the Intelligentization of Spaces to Forge a New Reference of Smart Cities

In recent years, Middle Eastern nations such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia have been at the forefront of the smart city movement. For instance, Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030”, unveiled in 2016, outlines an ambitious plan for constructing expansive smart cities. Once completed, these new urban developments will be powered entirely by renewable energy and will incorporate a variety of state-of-the-art intelligent technologies, painting a picture of an ideal future urban landscape.

To bring this grand vision to life, the concept of spatial intelligence has emerged as a critical phase. Spatial intelligence, as its name implies, involves the application of smart technologies within spatial environments. It aids urban managers in gaining a more precise understanding of a city’s operational status, optimizing resource allocation, and markedly enhancing the efficiency and service levels of urban management.

Tuya boasts significant expertise and a wealth of practical experience in the realm of spatial intelligence, particularly in the trio of core elements: connectivity, interaction, and ecosystem, where it holds unique advantages. At GITEX GLOBAL 2024, Tuya presented an array of smart solutions designed to steer the future trajectory of spatial intelligence and to craft a more comfortable living environment for users across the Middle East and beyond.

In the domain of smart communities, for example, Tuya introduced a comprehensive suite of innovative smart security solutions. These are tailored to address a variety of scenarios including intrusion alarms, childcare and eldercare, as well as fire and flood warnings in residential and small to medium-sized commercial settings, thereby providing users with a thorough solution to their diverse security needs.

Users can personalize and install alarms, sensors, and cameras, connect and configure these devices via a mobile app, and benefit from cloud-based video storage and round-the-clock cloud alarm monitoring services. In the event of emergencies detected by sensors or cameras, such as fires, break-ins, or life safety SOS situations, users are immediately alerted via app messages or email notifications. If an alarm is not addressed within 60 seconds, the system automatically forwards the alarm and associated video footage to the user’s authorized cloud-based alarm center for swift action against security threats.

Moreover, smart street lighting is a pivotal component in urban areas. Tuya’s smart street light solution has revolutionized street light management through the integration of wireless control technology and 4G gateways.

This solution leverages a 4G gateway for primary control communication, enabling wireless remote management for LED lighting fixtures equipped with Zigbee NEMA or Zhaoga nodes. Additionally, the 4G gateway can establish and manage a mesh network of up to 100 nodes, with a coverage area exceeding one kilometer. Management personnel can monitor the operational status and energy consumption of street lights in real-time via terminal devices and adjust brightness and on/off schedules with ease.

With its array of innovative products and solutions, Tuya has unveiled a glimpse into the future of technology for developers worldwide, sparking further inspiration and creativity. Moving forward, Tuya is committed to deepening its exploration and application in cutting-edge fields such as AI, collaborating with global partners and customers to contribute to a smarter and more sustainable world.
