A City District That Reports Its Own Faults

Street lighting, parking occupancy and air quality on one connected view — so a stuck-on lighting cluster wasting power gets flagged and fixed before the facilities desk ever hears about it.

Public Infrastructure That Runs Blind

A city district is full of equipment that simply runs — lights on a fixed timer, parking bays nobody is counting, air quality nobody is logging. It works, but it works blind. When something fails or wastes energy, the first sign is often a complaint rather than a reading. Connecting that infrastructure turns it into something a control room can see and act on before it becomes a call to facilities.

Fixed Lighting Schedules

Lights run full power all night regardless of who's about, burning energy where it isn't needed.

Reactive Maintenance

A stuck-on or failed lamp cluster is only found when someone reports it, wasting power or leaving a dark stretch for days.

Hidden Parking

Drivers circle looking for a bay because there's no live view of what's free and what's taken across the zone.

Unmeasured Air Quality

Air quality goes unrecorded across the district, so there's no data to act on or plan with.

A District That Watches Its Own Lights

A city district on a live map — streetlight on/off/dim state and energy draw, bay-level parking occupancy and air-quality readings across the zone. Watch the signature story: a cluster of streetlights stuck on is flagged with its projected energy cost before the facilities desk raises an alert, then an "optimise street lighting" action cuts the waste while parking occupancy keeps updating live. This is the same engine and scenario running at demos.barquecontech.com, embedded live below.

How the Data Actually Flows

From a streetlight, parking bay or air-quality sensor on a pole to a control-room screen — the same path the live demo above runs on.

Pole Sensors

Lighting state, energy draw, parking occupancy, air quality

Wireless / IoT Gateway

Cabinet or pole controller pushes readings over the network

Ingestion & Rules

Energy-waste checks, occupancy tally, air-quality thresholds

Alerts & Events

Stuck-on cluster, occupancy and air-quality notifications

Control-Room Dashboard

Live district map, energy view, occupancy and history

What a Deployment Includes

The building blocks we combine to fit the infrastructure a district already has.

Smart Streetlight Controllers

Per-lamp on/off/dim control and status reporting, with energy draw logged continuously.

Parking Occupancy Sensors

Bay-level sensing that shows where free spaces are across a zone or lot in real time.

Air-Quality Sensors

Pole-mounted sensors tracking air quality and conditions across the district over time.

Control-Room Dashboard

Live district map, alert feed and energy view for the team managing the infrastructure day to day.

Energy-Waste Alerts

Flags a stuck-on or misbehaving lighting cluster with its projected cost, before it's reported as a fault.

District Records

Logged lighting, occupancy and air-quality history you can hand to a stakeholder or auditor on request.

Connects Into What You Already Run

District data is only useful where your team already works — we integrate rather than replace.

Facilities / CMMS Systems

Feed lighting status and energy-waste alerts into the maintenance system your facilities team uses.

Parking & Wayfinding Displays

Tie live bay occupancy back to signage and apps so drivers see free spaces before they arrive.

Alerting Channels

Push energy-waste and air-quality alerts to SMS, email or a channel your ops team already watches.

What a Live View Changes

Concrete outcomes from putting a live view over lighting, parking and air quality.

Lower

energy spend once a stuck-on lighting cluster is flagged and fixed before it runs for days undetected.

Faster

response to a lighting fault or an air-quality reading out of range — minutes instead of a public complaint.

Less

time drivers spend circling for parking once bay occupancy is visible across the district.

Directional outcomes based on what live lighting, parking and air-quality data make visible — we'll size the specific case against your district during a pilot.

See It, Then Pilot It

Watch the district run live, or tell us about your infrastructure and we'll shape a pilot around it.
