ACTING AS A PRIME SYSTEM INTEGRATOR

du’s solutions enable operational efficiency, improved customer experience in sectors such as smart parking, heat maps, footfall analysis, behavioural analysis.

du acts as a prime system integrator backed by a diverse ecosystem of technology and software providers to identify and implement the right ecosystem to meet their needs. These include sensors and actuators for data collection, gateways for data processing and communication, and cloud-based platforms for data storage, analysis, and visualisation.

Additionally, its solutions also integrate with other enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, and SCADA. The hardware and software necessary to support its solutions may vary depending on the specific use case, for example, du require specialised hardware such as VR headsets and software such as simulation and modelling tools.

When implementing and deploying these solutions, one of the biggest concerns is data security and privacy, ensuring that sensitive information is protected and governed according to local regulations. Another challenge is making sure its solutions can integrate with existing systems and handle large amounts of data, this is known as Scalability and Interoperability.

Additionally, ensuring reliable and highspeed connectivity through 5G networks can be challenging in some areas. Lastly, some solutions, such as assembly automation, might require specialised technical expertise to design, deploy and maintain the system
