Measure visitor flows with Big Belly
EWF ECO and Bumbee Labs has concluded a partnership agreement, which enables customers to cost-effectively measure visitor flows via Big Belly -garbage containers and other street furniture EWF ECO Provides.
Big Belly the bins are equipped with Wi-Fi routers, where Bumbee Lab's technology has been implemented. In this way, for example, cities and shopping centres equipped with Big Belly -refuse containers have access to visitor and flow data, without any further installation being required. The power supply of the routers is solved by the fact that most models of garbage containers from Big Belly equipped with solar cells and thus a mobile and flexible solution.
Using the data bumbee labs produces, customers can find out how visitors move, how long they stay, and what the anchor points in the measurement ranges are. Through continuity of measurements, customers can ensure that the environment is provided as accessible as possible and thus visitor flows can be improved. In addition to visitor and flow measurements, EWF ECO and Bumbee Labs also offer free Wi-Fi to visitors who are near the measurement points.
Exclusive distributors
EWF ECO are exclusive distributors of Big Belly and Steora in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. In the Nordic countries there are about 3000 Big Belly devices installed and about 55,000 on a world-class basis. The cooperation is another step in EWF ECO 's efforts to offer their customers a full Smart City solution, i.e. give cities an opportunity to offer visitors to cities a better visitor experience by providing smart and efficient solutions.
Bumbee Labs measures visitor flows by capturing anonymized Wi-Fi signals in smart mobile phones and can make measurements in both outdoor and indoor environments. Visitor flows are measured completely anonymized, not at the individual level and the measurement method is the only one of its kind to have an approval from the Swedish Data Protection Authority. By its method, Bumbee Labs can produce very reliable statistics on how many people visit the measuring area during different time intervals, how long visitors stay in the measuring area and what the most common footpaths are.
Per Järnebrink, CEO EWF ECO , comments on the collaboration:
"Fast, Simple and Efficient, that's what our cooperation offers the market and our customers and prospects. EWF ECO and Bumbee Labs is now clarifying our collaboration within SmartCity Solutions and digitizing everyday life in public environments such as city space, passenger transport, shopping centers and other areas where you want information gathering and improved environment. We offer real effective digitalization today, not at any time in an unclear future"
Karl Samuelsson, CEO Bumbee Labs is also looking forward to the collaboration:
"Being able to get visitor flow data in connection with efficient waste management is a smart way to create a modern urban environment. EWF ECO have been very successful in spreading Big Belly -the concept in the Nordic region and it will be very exciting to be a part of the continued journey."
