Perbadanan Putrajaya (PPj) has recently announced a collaboration with Favoriot Sdn Bhd to establish a Smart City IoT platform in Putrajaya, Malaysia. The project, funded by the National Technology and Innovation Sandbox, aims to develop innovative Smart City solutions as defined in the Perbadanan Putrajaya Smart City Blueprint.

Partnership Details

The agreement was signed on December 9, 2022, to formalize the collaboration between PPj and Favoriot in setting up a municipal-operated IoT platform. The first use case of the project involves integrating the existing Putrajaya multitype sensors. The partnership falls under the Single Site Innovation Sandbox category. Favoriot will provide an open-system IoT middleware that can interoperate with different kinds of IoT sensors from multi-vendors. This allows for integrating multi-vendor environments that conform to standard protocols and are readily displayed and managed by the Putrajaya Command Centre.

Smart City IoT Platform

The Favoriot platform will enable PPj to integrate IoT solutions and display them on a single dashboard in Putrajaya Command Centre. This provides a single platform for managing and displaying data from multiple IoT solutions, preventing the need for multiple dashboards to view data. The platform conforms to standard protocols and is easily controlled by the Command Centre.

Perbadanan Putrajaya’s Smart City Blueprint aims to create a well-connected city with an efficient IoT infrastructure. By expanding IoT’s development and use cases in the city, PPj is heading towards including infrastructure and environmental monitoring in its IoT solutions. According to Dato’ Fadlun bin Mak Ujud, President of PPj, IoT’s impact is one of the things that everyone is talking about nowadays, and the Sandbox initiative gives new innovative solutions to manage the city better. This Sandbox initiative also provides opportunities for local entrepreneurs and start-ups to put their resources into further facilitating urban living.

Benefits of the Smart City IoT Platform

The Favoriot Smart City IoT platform is a tool to boost and create innovative Smart City solutions and a developer tool for new Startups or existing IoT companies to build their IoT solutions. Putrajaya City will become a place where local talent gets their IoT solution tested and certified in a real-city environment. Dr. Mazlan Abbas, CEO of Favoriot, hopes that Putrajaya will become a model for other cities to emulate and develop a similar “innovate and trial-before-commercial” approach.

IoT Training

Favoriot, in partnership with PPj, will also provide IoT training at Putrajaya’s premises to encourage the growth of IoT talents. The Sandbox project is implemented on the Build-Operate and Transfer Model, where PPj will operate and manage the Smart City IoT Platform. The project has already achieved a critical milestone, with several existing IoT solutions integrated and now working in Putrajaya Command Centre.

Conclusion

The collaboration between PPj and Favoriot marks a significant step toward building a Smart City IoT platform in Putrajaya. The project’s success will depend on the ability of the platform to integrate various IoT solutions and provide a single dashboard for managing and displaying data. Additionally, the platform will serve as a developer tool for new startups or existing IoT companies to build their IoT solutions. The collaboration also provides a platform for IoT training, encouraging the growth of IoT talents. The Sandbox project’s implementation of the Build-Operate and Transfer Model is an excellent way for PPj to manage and operate the Smart City IoT Platform.

RAQIB Raising Donation Campaign With LaunchGood – Peace of Mind for Hajj Pilgrims in 2019

May 10th, 2019 Posted by favoriotadmin BLOG 0 thoughts on “RAQIB Raising Donation Campaign With LaunchGood – Peace of Mind for Hajj Pilgrims in 2019”

Issues and Challenges Faced by the Hajj and Umrah Pilgrims

Many who have performed their pilgrimage either Hajj and Umrah will understand the difficulty when thousands or millions of people converge into one place. The challenges faced by the Authorities to manage the well-being of their own pilgrims either for health or safety.
Many are gone missing or will encounter lost a sense of direction when staying in a new place. A big mosque like Masjidilharam with many doors to enter and exit can be a nightmare to many old people or people who rarely travel from their hometown.

During the peak period of Hajj when pilgrims travel to Arafat, Mudzalifah, and Mina whereby the men can only wear a white robe, the best and safest way to carry any communication device safely is by wearing only a “watch” rather than a smartphone. Health and security factor is the main concern in a packed area for a couple of days.

FAVORIOT has developed a solution that can help both the Haj/Umrah Travel Agencies or Authorities to monitor and care for the well-being of their pilgrims. The solution comprised of smart wearable hardware (Raqib) and the software (mobile and desktop application to monitor the pilgrims). Below are the following benefits:

The ability to monitor the pilgrim whereabouts
Monitor their health condition (Blood Pressure, ECG, Heart Rate and Activity)
Communicate with the Mutawif* directly (or any pre-assigned contact phone numbers) in cases of emergencies or call to the pilgrims. (*Note: Only with Favoriot’s Travel Agencies approved partner)

We launch this campaign to help a certain number of deserving pilgrims that will perform their Hajj pilgrimage this year. If they are performing Hajj either alone or elderly couples that need help to monitor their health, we will be able to offer Raqib services to them.
Thus, we are reaching out to all of you hoping that you can donate to this particular cause in ensuring their safety and also providing a peace of mind to the family members back home. Furthermore, they can continue to use this service back home when they return from Mecca.
Our sincere prayers and Du’a goes to all of you who are willing to help the pilgrims in their ultimate journey performing Hajj this year.

You can make a Donation or Buy as Gifts at our RAQIB – Your Hajj Companion in LaunchGood NOW!

JazakAllahu Khairan

Note:

For this particular Campaign, we have to limit the RAQIB users ONLY from Malaysia due to logistic and time constraints. InsyaAllah we will offer to other countries in future.
We will raise the funds in stages especially for the upcoming Hajj 2019 which is just around the corner.

About FAVORIOT

We are an Internet of Things (IoT) Startup with a mission to build long term relationships with our customers and clients and provide exceptional customer solutions by pursuing business through innovation and advanced technology in Internet of Things (IoT).
Pilgrims around the world are the market focus. Hajj agencies from the government and private agencies are the targeted channels. Every year, there will be more than 2 Million going for Hajj and 6.75 Million for Umrah. There’s no perfect solution yet to provide “peace of mind” for the pilgrims and their family members in addition giving a better service by the Hajj/Umrah authorities. That’s how we build Raqib using our own IoT Platform. Dr. Mazlan Abbas is the CEO and Co-Founder of Favoriot.
