FAQ

Why should we be interested in Shaspa?
Climate change is now widely recognized as being scientifically proven. The challenge to the planet and our very way of life is not fully understood, but the repercussions will be serious. Many people are keenly aware of the need to reduce their use of limited resources in their daily lives and have decided to take action and are looking for practical ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Shaspa is a solution that saves money and reduces emissions through property performance optimisation.

Why is Shaspa Important to you?
Firstly Shaspa is the means for you to collect data in real-time via a network of sensors and other sources. These sources may be almost anything available on fixed and mobile networks, video camera systems and GPS. Data might be related to applications such as traffic management, weather forecasting and resource or asset management. This is the key to high-quality instrumentation of the real-world – the creation of a cloud of current data related to the behavior of real people and the actual environment.
Secondly Shaspa provides you with a full set of easy to use features to store and analyze your data and communicate with a variety of users via a selection of display technologies and social networking systems. Shaspa can be used to support a wide variety of business processes including the management of fixed assets such as property or industrial plant, mobile assets such as car or service fleets or remote assets such as transport control facilities or pumping stations. Due to its flexible multi-protocol design, low cost of entry point, reliability, ease of use and feature-rich implementation, Shaspa can often be a very cost effective solution in comparison more traditional monitoring and control technologies. Shaspa delivers significant benefit by reducing levels of complexity and thereby saving considerable cost.
Current developments include leveraging the value of Shaspa by adding advanced modeling and analysis techniques to develop collective intelligence applications. These emerging techniques use the phenomenal computer power available nowadays to increase by orders of magnitude the scope of intelligent decision making and the participation by everyone involved.

Where do we go from here?
Shaspa as an organization develops applications to increase the technical and structural performance of properties. We also promote a greater understanding of the community and the physical and data sharing processes that allow for collaboration to happen.
Each market will have different uses for Shaspa and we will move forward with partners who will explore these possibilities, then build, sell, and distribute solutions based in Shaspa. This way, creative developers can build and share new applications for everything from managing home or business energy use to entirely new ideas we haven’t even thought of yet. We look forward to working with the wider community on the cool applications the community designs, or helping you to use your imagination to come up with additional uses for your community or business.
