In recent years, Axians, the VINCI Energies ICT brand, has developed solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of telecommunications towers and streamline their installation. The 2050 zero carbon emissions target affects all sectors, and the telecoms infrastructure industry is no different. Three of the new innovative transmission tower types developed by Axians in recent years […]
To support future years of strong growth in passenger traffic, airports need to modernise their infrastructure and how they process hold and cabin baggage. This is a niche market where innovation is key. We look at the case of TG Concept, a VINCI Energies business unit. Four years ago, air travel was pronounced dead, but […]
With its PullAI solution, Omexom Atlantique Ingénierie promises significant cost savings on the installation of underground high-voltage lines, as well as reduced CO2 emissions. This is particularly beneficial at a time when climate events are increasingly often damaging electricity distribution networks. 105,817 kilometres: the length of high-voltage (63,000 V and 90,000 V) and extra-high-voltage (225,000 V and […]
In collaboration with Diabetes League, Axians Belgium developed Zoet Zwanger, a digital tool designed to follow-up women with gestational diabetes after pregnancy. Pregnancy subjects the body to blood sugar fluctuations, which can contribute to the onset of diabetes. This temporary condition, known as gestational diabetes, can occur in women who are not diabetic or reveal […]
By identifying real-world use cases, consulting residents, and making use of sensors, data and digital twins, four American cities – Aurora, Illinois (population 180,542), San Antonio, Texas (1.5 million), Raleigh, North Carolina (480,000) and Mesa, Arizona (510,000) – are transforming into smart cities. They are using sensors and data processing solutions to monitor and manage […]
