Ever been stuck at a bus stop with 2% battery? 🪫

Our SmartBeam solar-charging units have been live in Auckland for almost six months now, following our innovative partnership with Auckland Transport.

Why is New Zealand Leaning Towards Smart Cities?

In the 21st century, where complex technology and consistent advancement are commonplace, our cities’ convergence with smart living innovations are clearly inevitable. New Zealanders’ desire to become and remain connected via online mediums has become insatiable, and our tenacity to adopt new digital trends and attractions is unwavering. In just three years, the average person is expected to interact with connected devices nearly 4,800 times a day. The current trends and predictive statistics deliver a clear message: our country needs cities equipped to accommodate and adapt to the myriad of technological innovations that we will indeed adopt. Our country needs smart cities.

How often do you see rubbish bins overflowing in the street? Too often. Using our Smart Bin, we can compact waste up to 7 times using power generated from the sun (solar), then send an alert when it's full. What does this mean for the planet? 7 times as much rubbish into each bin - 7 times fewer collections - 7 times less fuel consumed -7 times less energy required - 7 times as much money saved! Awesome.
