AquaSense promotes efficient water usage

AquaSense wrote: Aquasense allows users to view their household water consumption, broken down by the appliance. Based on an interactive service, households can save money due to consumption behavior changes. Household members can set goals, keep and update a consumption diary and get through messaging, information on their progress towards their goal and personalized feedback. . With aquasense, consumers can participate in social networking groups, the ‘reference’ groups, consisting of household units with similar characteristics. Households are categorized according to their consuming performance and best attitudes are rewarded through a ‘green’ on-line membership card with for example discounts on green retailers, advertised in aquasense app. ...

Apparel as outdoor experience services

The current short average life time of clothes and other apparel causes significant environmental damage as the production process results in significant emissions. One solution of this is to maximize the lifetime, eliminating the production need. Based on this, Houdini has developed concept based on sharing, reusing and renting apparel. To make sure their products have several owers and long life times, they have clothing repair infrastructure as part of the solution. The rental services also allows customers to have flexible state of the art clothing options. Lastly, the solution also includes locations where users can buy and sell products, resulting in less consumption.

Antennas for metering and smart cities

A-Antennas provides a special antenna for mesh systems where the meters “talk” to each other. The special antenna with ceramic filtering limits the need to install extra antennas when using mesh systems, hence avoiding emissions from production of said antennas. The innovation, Rf solutions for smart metering, is part of a complex value chain in sending and receiving data in IOT-systems. When transmitting big data concerning electrical grids, the Rf solutions can be part of larger systems reducing CO2-emissions.
