Cliff stabilisation / landslips

This week the BBC has been filming the cliff stabilisation project we’re involved with. HASTE is a community group in St Leonards on Sea, who have come together to solve a shared problem, and create a template for many other affected areas in the UK to follow.

The British Geological Survey (BGS) has a database of over 17,000 landslides, and estimates 350,000 properties in the UK are at significant risk of land slides. The cliff we’re concerned with affects around £200m worth of property, and the total amount of property at risk across the UK exceeds £100Bn.

Introducing VizAI: auto-magic dashboard creation

For local government customers using Thingitude’s hosted ThingsBoard platform, we’ve got some exciting news about how you can instantly create a dashboard for your data.

We also know that while Thingsboard is powerful and flexible, the initial setup for new use cases, like getting data from The Things Network and configuring devices, is a bit of a hurdle, often requiring our team’s expertise.

Reading Hydro is officially open!

Many congratulations to the incredible team at Reading Hydro: their amazing project to generate renewable energy from the River Thames in Reading has been officially opened!

I have been a supporter and pioneer investor in this project and am delighted to see it come to fruition. It has been a phenomenal community effort to bring renewable power to the people of Reading.

You can read the BBC News article about the opening ceremony, but if you want to get a feel for the heart and soul of the project then watch this video featuring Sophie and Tony – two of the directors whose leadership and commitment has been phenomenal.

Thingitude’s skillset skillset doesn’t lend itself to digging fish passes or painting murals, so our part in the project has been to sort out the data side of things. This has involved installing some LoRaWAN sensors, extracting data from the turbine control panel, creating a data API, and working with other members of the team to make sure all the stakeholders get the data they need.
