Projects are where our expertise and technology intersect, bringing whole new ideas, software and hardware together to create something better.
Data People Connected (DPC), together with UK and South Korean partners, is developing secure ways to share energy data across homes, businesses and cities. By combining smart hubs, digital twins and international standards, the project is creating a trusted framework that benefits both industry and society. The work is being tested in real-world settings with housing providers and energy retailers, highlighting how secure, interoperable data can lead to healthier homes, fairer energy use and smarter, more sustainable cities.
Digital Twin Hub: Indonesia
Data People Connected (DPC) worked with partners in the UK and Indonesia to explore how Liverpool and Surabaya could collaborate through a cross city digital twin. The project secured a Memorandum of Understanding with ITS University, establishing the foundation for shared research, stakeholder engagement and a platform that links both cities. This work positions DPC to help shape smart city data models that support Net Zero, social return on investment and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Wind Farm Digital Twin Intergration
As part of an Innovate UK feasibility study, we integrated an OCF standards enabled chip within a working wind turbine to create a secure, real time data connection. This hardware establishes a trusted data stream from the turbine, allowing operators to monitor performance, understand operating conditions and optimise energy output. The visibility it provides helps identify inefficiencies, inform timely interventions and strengthen long term asset management. The work demonstrates how open standards and connected infrastructure can enhance productivity and support sustainable windfarm operations. The solution has been proven in a live environment.
Liverpool John Moores Asset Management
Data People Connected (DPC) partnered with Liverpool John Moores University to develop a live asset management dashboard that monitors the condition of key building systems across the campus. By connecting data from lifts, lighting and other critical assets, the platform gives estates teams real time visibility, supports safer operations and streamlines maintenance workflows. The project shows how connected data can shift organisations from reactive management to proactive, evidence based decision making.
Project Q
Project Q is a real time order, stock and customer management system powered by Buttress. It brings key retail workflows into one intuitive feed, removing the need to switch between multiple modules and significantly improving productivity. By automating stock procurement and monitoring supplier activity, Project Q ensures efficient delivery times and prevents stock shortages before they happen. This creates smoother operations, better customer experiences and more time for staff to focus on higher value work. Project Q is live, fully operational and already generating revenue.
iMmesh
iMmesh is the interoperable PropTech platform that connects building systems through secure, real time data. Acting as a universal ecosystem, it allows devices and applications to work together seamlessly, creating one intelligent mesh of information. With iMmesh, organisations can optimise performance, reduce costs and support sustainable growth. The platform adapts, scales and learns over time, ensuring buildings operate efficiently and in harmony with the people who use them. It is fully compliant with OCF standards and is delivered as a fully working service.
