IoT solutions for transportation fleet management. This solution can increase operational efficiency by analyzing driver behavior and fleet utilization for cost savings.
An IoT solution that automatically identifies and distributes flood-related information and predicts potential flooding. This solution can monitor real-time conditions at each sluice gate. Through analysis of the collected data, the decision-making process regarding flood mitigation can be carried out quickly and accurately.
AI Camera Crowd Detection System. IoT solution to manage capacity plans with reliable, cost-effective, and efficient statistical data. This solution can calculate crowds in a room based on the number of people entering and leaving, retrieve data in real-time, and data can be monitored and stored automatically.
XLABS has a long portfolio and experience in implementing digital solutions in various sectors. Apart from mastering technology, XLABS also always carries out research regarding innovative solutions through the X-CAMP IoT laboratory which has been certified by GSMA and has a human resources team that excels in managing digital solution services for corporate customers.

Signing of Cooperation for Green Smart City Realization
In order to further develop and strengthen the Green Smart City ecosystem based on IoT technology, XLABS collaborates with X-CAMP to establish cooperation with several strategic partners. In the event entitled "Unveiling XL IoT Ecosystem Lounge: Innovate, Elevate, and Integrate", a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed, and cooperation between XL Axiata and the Bandung Institute of Technology, IBM, PT Cahaya Mutiara Sentosa, PT Maggot Indonesia Lestari, and PT Xekar. The signing was carried out by the Director & Chief Technology Officer of XL Axiata, I Gede Darmayusa, Director of Smart Cities and Communities Innovation Center of ITB, Prof. Dr. Ir. Suhono Harso Supangkat, M.Eng, Business Development Executive-IBM, Donny Gunawan, CEO of PT. Cahaya Mutiara Sentosa, Edward Halim, CEO of PT. Maggot Indonesia Lestari, Markus Susanto and CEO of PT. Xekar, Ria Putri Sekarwidati in Jakarta on Friday (8/12).
With existing expertise, resources, and experience, XLABS as an ICT partner and trusted integrated ICT service provider is ready to fully support the acceleration of Indonesia's digital transformation. In its implementation, XLABS has collaborated with several industries that have used digital solutions resulting from collaboration with X-Camp and XL Future Leaders, including:
In terms of experience, XLABS has helped several city/regency governments in digitalization efforts in their respective regions. XLABS has supported the implementation of digital technology within the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to deal with flooding problems through the Jakarta Smart City program. In this project, XL Axiata implemented "IoT Flood Monitoring" to monitor water levels at several main points that influence the potential for flooding. This technology provides benefits in the form of real-time river sensors with monitoring systems, reliable connectivity, smart city dashboards, as well as big data and analytics.
Apart from that, XLABS has also helped the Bengkulu City Government in pioneering the smart city program. In this city, public street lighting that applies IoT has been successfully implemented. With digitalization, street lighting operations can take place efficiently and effectively, including when they turn on and off, the brightness level of the lights, and their energy use. In Bengkulu too, the "IoT Thermal Imaging" solution has been implemented to measure body temperature for placement in offices. This solution has been implemented in office buildings to prevent the transmission of dangerous diseases.
