Norrköping leading the way with smart city technology

The use of connected technological equipment by cities is constantly growing. Sensors everywhere and new digital services creates needs for control and a proactive approach. Whether it's reducing traffic congestion, improving air quality, or preventing flooding, the city responds quickly and efficiently thanks to smart technology. What makes Norrköping the ultimate smart city is that it not only collects data, but actively uses it to optimize and automate its functions. Infracontrol Online is the tool that makes all of this possible.

The city can optimize everything from traffic flow and air quality to water levels and faults in technical systems

Olle Classon, system administrator at Norrköping Municipality, explains how connected IoT solutions is creating new opportunities that are transforming the way the city operates:

- Today, we can receive real-time alerts and measurements from traffic signals, ticket machines, and parking facilities. This means we can detect and resolve issues before they cause disruptions. In addition, the battery-powered IoT sensors make it possible to quickly and cost-effectively capture information on everything from water levels to air quality – ultimately creating a safer and more smoothly functioning city for residents.

The benefits our work brings

A city that reacts – before problems arise

• Thanks to connected sensors and Infracontrol Online, Norrköping can swiftly detect and resolve issues before they impact residents. Whether it's malfunctioning traffic signals or flood risks, the city acts quickly to minimise disruption and maximise safety.

Data-driven urban development

• By actively using collected data, the city continuously improves. Smart decisions on traffic, the environment, and resource management are based on real-time information, leading to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient urban environment.

A powerful and open IoT platform

• Infracontrol Online serves as the hub of Norrköping’s smart ecosystem. The platform is independent and allows the integration of sensors from various providers, creating a flexible, scalable, and futureproof solution for the entire municipality.

Technology that directly benefits residents

• Smart technology in Norrköping isn’t just about efficiency – it’s about care. Air quality is monitored, traffic flows are optimised, and water levels are tracked – all to make everyday life safer, simpler, and more sustainable for everyone who lives there.
