Paris, the city of romance, welcomed the 33rd Summer Olympics in July. There were not only passionate athletic events, but also touching and deep-rooted spirit of struggle, as well as high moments that engraved the hearts of the people. Behind this spectacular event, the power of science and technology cannot be ignored. They are like the starlight in the darkness of the night, bringing an unprecedented shocking experience to the audience all over the world. From the real-time data analysis in the stadium to the immersive vision in the audience, from the construction of smart venues to the comprehensive supervision and synergy, IoT technology has realized the beauty of wisdom of this global sports event.
Bleeding edge technology in Sports Events – IoT Technology
The wide application of IoT technology has made every corner of the venue become an important node in the data network. From the athletes’ smart wearable devices to the venue’s intelligent security system, IoT technology builds an all-around digital world inside and outside the stadium, collecting and analyzing all kinds of data and information in real time. This not only provides athletes and coaches with scientific training guidance, but also provides event organizers with precise event management solutions, allowing us to witness one exciting moment after another on the field.
On the track at the Paris Olympics, athletes wear Nike Vaporfly running shoes and Whoop bracelets on their wrists. These seemingly ordinary smart devices actually have a hidden agenda. These seemingly ordinary smart devices actually have a hidden agenda. They can monitor an athlete’s heart rate, sleep quality, recovery status, and exercise load in real time, and upload this data to a data center for big data analysis through a wireless connection. With the help of smart wearable devices, athletes can carry out personalized training based on data feedback, while coaches can adjust training plans and optimize game strategies based on data changes. With the data support of smart devices, athletes will blossom on the stage of the Paris Olympics.
Olympic surveillance systems play an important role in security management. By utilizing AI cameras, the system is able to automatically flag potential security threats and send alerts to staff as soon as a risk is detected. Staff will then be able to quickly take appropriate countermeasures to effectively avoid security incidents. This intelligent monitoring system not only improves security efficiency, but also brings a safer viewing experience for spectators.
Intelligent energy management system is one of the highlights of this year’s Olympic Games. Through big data analysis and artificial intelligence optimization of energy usage, the system achieves efficient use of energy and reduction of carbon footprint of the venues. According to the official website of the Paris Olympics, compared with the average emissions of previous Olympics, this year’s Olympics is expected to reduce the carbon footprint by 50%, which is a huge progress. Through the application of intelligent energy management system, the Olympic Games will become a greener and more environmentally friendly sports event.
Edge computing gateway empowers smart stadium construction
EG series edge computing gateway, the star product of IOTRouter, is small in size but powerful in function. The gateway integrates data acquisition and pre-processing, edge computing, remote control and disconnection. It also supports edge computing and cloud edge cooperative computing.
EG series meets the demand for intelligent sensing and centralized control of massive front-end devices, and realizes the linkage and cooperation among multiple devices. In addition, EG series supports rich hardware interfaces, compatible with mainstream protocols in many industries, easy to interface with 99% of PLCs, and supports Node-RED graphical programming. Many advantages make EG series edge computing gateway play a very important role in the construction of smart stadiums.
Edge computing with fast response:
In the grand blueprint of smart stadiums, edge computing gateways are skillfully embedded in all corners of the stadiums. From the real-time monitoring of high-definition cameras to the precise regulation of intelligent lighting systems to the delicate perception of temperature and humidity in the spectator stand, all of them demonstrate its powerful data processing and instant response capability.
Massive data collection and processing:
Access As the tournament heats up, the amount of data generated in the arena grows exponentially. Edge computing gateways, on the other hand, with their low latency and high reliability, ensure that critical data can be processed locally and quickly. This not only enhances the viewing experience of the event, but also allows every exciting moment to be instantly presented to the audience.
Remote monitoring and fault warning:
Remote monitoring and early warning of faults can be carried out in smart venues, from energy efficiency optimization of air-conditioning systems to automatic management of security access control, all of which are automated and unattended. It greatly reduces operating costs and improves management efficiency. In case of emergency, the edge computing gateway can quickly link up the emergency response system to escort the safety of the venue.
The cloud platform builds a single map for intelligent management and control:
The IoT cloud platform system IoTRouter Cloud has excellent scalability and flexibility, and is capable of real-time monitoring of highly sensitive information such as energy consumption, equipment data and operation status, foot traffic, environmental data and warning information. This data will help staff to fully grasp the operational status of each subsystem to ensure the best possible service in a safe, efficient and comfortable environment.
summarize
With the continuous integration of 5G, AI and other technologies, edge computing gateways will play a more central role in the construction of smart stadiums. It promotes the development of stadiums in the direction of more intelligent, green and humanized, and brings a richer viewing and participation experience to global sports fans.
