Ivoire: “Communicative” municipal castings
Ivoire is an identification system for municipal castings and buried networks that makes ductile iron manholes, grids and other street furniture communicate.
Power-free RFID technology radio-frequency chips in new and existing municipal castings individualise each item and:
identify and store reliable data pertaining to each municipal casting (manufacturer, prime contractor, “health card” of each part, maintenance work, etc.) and underground network component (pipeline descriptions and specifications, manholes, chambers, etc.),
streamline information management for field crews and central offices dealing with roads, wastewater and other relevant departments.
All these materials have undergone long tests ensuring they work will work reliably over the long term.
