Empower Better Data-Driven Governance with Vision AI in Indonesia

By 2025, 68% of Indonesia’s population will live in cities, and by 2030, an additional 90M Indonesians will join the world’s consuming class as they move from the countryside to the urban area. In anticipation to rapid urbanization movements, the governments and enterprises begin to address safety issues, urban planning, tax collection, as well as utilizing AI to relieve operational pain and create a commercial gain for enterprises. Nodeflux was established with its initial aims to help tackle issues of scattered and incomplete data as well as to increase safety issues. By introducing VisionAIre— the Vision AI technology that Nodeflux’s developing, Nodeflux is challenging the absence of adequate report-collection and analytic systems that limit key decision-makers’ visibility into the everyday safety issues. Moreover, VisionAIre is also set to support the key-stakeholders’ knowledge about city management analytics or store analytics, as well as their ability to respond accordingly. Through some of Nodeflux’s used cases, we see how VisionAIre solutions, analytics, and deployments are significantly accelerating the smart city government and business enterprise towards the era of technology 4.0.
