The deployment of computer vision systems is a critical decision for modern industries. Choosing between cloud and edge solutions affects speed, security, and scalability. This article explores the main trade-offs of each approach and highlights how MakeWise’s CHECKPOINT.VISION provides a balanced solution.
Read moreAI for Urban Mobility: preventing and managing road accidents
Every journey should end safely but growing traffic volumes, complex junctions, and distracted driving make that promise harder to keep. City operators, first responders, and citizens all feel the consequences: injuries, long delays, and eroded confidence in the road network. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a practical way forward, turning rich, real-time data into earlier warnings, faster interventions, and evidence-based planning that prevents crashes before they happen.

Smart Highways: the role of AI in traffic management
Motorways carry our economy, people, goods and services. Yet a single crash, breakdown, or storm can ripple into hours of congestion, higher emissions, and safety risks. Road operators need faster awareness, quicker decisions, and systems that learn from every incident. That’s where Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes in: always-on, data-driven, and built to turn roadside signals into real-time action for safer, smoother journeys. In this article, we’ll dive into the role of AI in smart cities highways’ traffic management and why choose AI to transform Smart Highways.
Read moreTraffic analytics and mobility planning with AI-based ANPR solutions
Cities are under pressure: more vehicles, tighter kerb sides, and rising expectations for safer, cleaner, faster journeys. Traditional manual counts and occasional surveys can’t keep pace with real-time conditions. What city teams need is always-on mobility intelligence that is actionable today and defensible for long-term planning. AI-based ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) delivers exactly that turning road cameras into continuous vehicle sensors that feed both operations and strategy from the same data stream. In this article, we’ll dive into how AI-based ANPR systems work and where they can make the difference as a solution to improve cities.
Read moreWhy real-time vehicle recognition is a game changer for security?
When something goes wrong on the road, seconds matter. A stalled vehicle, an unauthorized entry, a theft in progress—each demands instant awareness and a fast, coordinated response. Real-time vehicle recognition changes the equation by turning moving assets into live data streams and actionable alerts. The result is fewer blind spots, faster recovery when incidents occur, and a measurable boost to safety for drivers, assets, and the public. In this article, we’ll explore how real-time vehicle recognition is a game charger for security.
Read moreTop 5 Applications of ANPR Systems in Smart Cities
Cities are getting denser, roads are busier, and public expectations are higher. From congestion and illegal parking to inconsistent enforcement and rising operational costs, urban mobility challenges are piling up. Smart cities offer a path forward: data-driven decisions, automated enforcement, and seamless user experiences. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a key enabler turning ordinary cameras into intelligent sensors that help streets flow, rules stick, and services run smoothly. In this article, we’ll explore how ANPR systems help smart cities and highlight the top five applications driving safer, smoother urban mobility.
Read moreSmarter parking security with ANPR Systems
In today’s fast-paced world, parking facilities everywhere face similar challenges unauthorised parking, congestion, poor security, and operational inefficiencies. ANPR has emerged as a transformative solution, enhancing both efficiency and safety. For motorists, it means smoother access and greater peace of mind. For car park operators, it offers better control, improved security, and reduced costs. In this article, we’ll dive into how ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) systems can improve the security of parking.
Read moreSmart Cities and AI: transforming the future of urban living
Urban life is rapidly evolving. With populations growing and infrastructure under pressure, cities face immense challenges in traffic: congestion, pollution, inefficient resource use, and rising safety concerns. Residents deserve environments that are safer, smarter, and more sustainable. At MakeWise, we understand the need for cities to adapt quickly, and AI is proving to be a powerful ally in creating better urban living experiences. In this article, we’ll dive into the AI solutions that are integrated in smart cities, how they work and the MakeWise’s solution AID.VISION.
Read moreReducing emergency response time through AI‑powered alert systems
Emergencies strike without warning, and every second counts. Whether it’s a natural disaster, medical crisis, or infrastructure failure, delayed responses can mean greater damage and loss of life. At MakeWise, we deeply understand the emotional and logistical weight carried by first responders and emergency management teams. In this article, we’ll explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can drastically shorten response times and improve outcomes when it matters most.
