Urbiotica

Urbiotica is a smart-city technology company founded in 2008 and based in Barcelona, Spain. It was created to help municipalities and private operators manage urban infrastructure with real-time data instead of manual inspection rounds, and in 2019 it acquired the Fastprk parking-sensor line, extending its reach into new markets.

The company builds wireless IoT sensor networks and a cloud analytics platform covering on-street and off-street parking, waste-container fill levels and environmental monitoring. Surface and buried sensors, license-plate-recognition cameras and long battery-life devices send data to city control centers and mobile apps, serving city councils, parking operators and waste-collection companies across dozens of countries.

1. Smart Parking Sensors: surface and in-ground IoT sensors detect real-time space occupancy.

2. License-Plate Recognition: camera-based vision sensors validate access and enforce parking rules.

3. Waste Fill-Level Monitoring: sensors in containers optimize collection routes and schedules.

4. City Control Dashboard: a central platform aggregates sensor data across parking, waste and environment.

5. Long-Life Connectivity: battery-powered devices use LoRa and NB-IoT with up to ten years of autonomy.

6. Driver Guidance App: mobile guidance directs drivers to available parking spaces in real time.
