At VivaCity we recognise that demands on our road networks and urban infrastructure are rapidly changing and that traditional traffic monitoring is outdated. To achieve Road Safety, Environmental and Active Travel targets, it’s essential that planning and decision-making is informed with high quality data insights. Utilising cutting edge AI-powered computer vision, our sensors capture anonymised multimodal data, designed to provide cities with the most accurate, reliable and scalable insights. Our technology is here to solve endemic problems and help cities achieve their policy goals and transport objectives.

The world of field operations is under pressure: on one side, companies have to deploy new infrastructures quickly (such as fiber optics, 5G, smart meters, electric vehicles charging points, etc.). On the other side, these field operation companies lack field workers to actually work on these infrastructures. This has led to a quality crisis, as new generation networks are being rolled-out in a hurry, delivering poor quality at every corner. At Deepomatic, we believe that companies that will succeed in the long term are the ones that are able to industrialize quality and scale fast, despite limited resources. We offer a pioneering platform in the domain of First Time Right Automation, to help field operations companies maximize the chances of success of their operations from the start by automating their quality control process. Our start-up has met successes globally with customers such as Bouygues telecom in France, Swisscom in Switzerland, CityFibre in the UK, Telefonica in Colombia, Unit-T in Belgium, Circet in Ireland and many more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIH27jwysAs&t=6s
