Obvious Technologies, a scale-up developing a Command & Control (C2) software suite for security and mission-critical organisations, has stressed addressing technology’s power within public safety & security. The company has highlighted and demonstrated ways to leverage technological tools such as 3D Data Visualisation, Digital Twins, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and more.
Naoufal el Ouali, Co-Founder and CEO at Obvious Technologies said “The UAE is a giant playground for innovation with an extremely high appetite for data and solutions within the public and private sectors. As the amount of data in the world increases, it will become physically impossible to keep track of everything manually. This is where using technologies such as AI and Digital twins will become a compulsion.”
As the market grows in 2023, businesses must align their strategies with new technology trends to maintain relevance and competitiveness in their respective sectors. Within the security space, organisations ought to expect the following trends:
With the ability to provide unique capabilities enabling users to gain a cognitive aspect of the environment, AR and VR would continue to expand. These technological tools come in when people are looking for faster ways to extract and understand information.
One area to look out for is the metaverse — in 2023, there will be more immersive meeting environments where users can talk, brainstorm, and co-create. Metaverse technologies like AR and VR are being used for training and onboarding. Virtual Reality allows users to interact with the virtual environment, use their sensors, and see the city in a 3D holographic sense.
Obvious Technologies has been investigating the benefits of OODA, a cutting-edge integration platform, and the entire PSIM, C2 software package into AR and VR for a variety of applications to keep up with the VR trends. Team collaboration in every job will be made possible by integrating these technologies into the OODA software suite. Teams will be able to obtain an immersive understanding of real-time coordination across numerous sites and users as a result. This would eventually be a huge benefit for those who work from remote locations.
Digital Twins are a virtual simulation of real-world processes, which people can use to simulate, plan or manage all the data and see the “what ifs” In a safe digital environment building a bridge between the digital and physical worlds. With all the amount of data for users to organise, the 3D digital twins enable rapid decision-making by allowing users to understand past data for training purposes.
These can be used for public transportation, cities, and airports, among other places. 3D digital twins fed with planning and real-time application data would analyse and comprehend how to organise assets and resources more efficiently to meet the global aim and related KPIs if decision-makers were looking to optimise their operations and quality of service in a particular area. To put it in context, digital twins would function similarly to the SimCity video game.
Digital Twins can assist users with limitless parameters, provided the users know what they’re looking for.
el Ouali said “At Obvious Technologies, we plan on using our 3D Data visualisation capabilities to highlight our security assets, alarms and resources, along with IoT sensors and points of interest, with any necessary notes or social media mentions. The digital twins will help generate valuable information, such as upcoming events, the number of people in a building etc., worth visualising and sharing among key stakeholders.”
In 2023, AI will be everywhere, and the technologies have never been so powerful and explicit about delivering numerous scenarios and using cases. AI enables users to gather and analyse large amounts of data faster. The challenge is not only to generate AI-enabled data but to index, correlate and display consolidated information at the right time and to the right person. AI provides smarter analytics and faster decision support tools to operators.
Obvious Technologies will combine various AI technologies, giving forensics applications a consolidated view in real-time that can make use of data correlation and visualisation. Decision-makers will now be able to swiftly and readily obtain information to aid in their decision-making thanks to these modifications.
