All your municipality’s data in one place.
CiviPort is the urban data platform for towns and cities. It brings together sensor readings, buildings, water supply, energy and geodata and makes them visible on dashboards, maps and in a 3D view of the municipality.
The challenge
Every system has its own portal.
The waterworks has a control system, the school a heating app, the public works depot a spreadsheet, and the radio sensors run through an external network operator. CiviPort brings this data into one platform that belongs to your municipality.
Use cases
What municipalities do with CiviPort
Water
Wells, reservoirs and pumping stations at a glance. Plus smart water: irrigate sports fields only when the soil needs it.
Buildings
Temperature, heating and consumption in schools, nurseries and the town hall, connected through existing building technology.
Energy
Control PV systems, battery storage and power consumers so that power is used when it is cheapest.
Wireless sensors
LoRaWAN sensors through the municipality’s own gateway network, without being tied to a network operator.
3D view
Buildings, zoning plans and readings in a 3D model of the municipality, right in the browser.
Open data
Publish selected data according to DCAT-AP.de so citizens, businesses and state portals can use it.
Architecture
How CiviPort is built.
Every reading passes through a central data gateway. There it is validated, logged and given access rights before it is stored. This way you know for every value where it comes from and who is allowed to see it.
Three access levels: public, restricted and non-public. Data is stored according to the NGSI-LD standard and the Smart Data Models, so it can be exchanged with other platforms.
