Libelium is a leading company from Aragon in the development and manufacture of IoT solutions for urban environmental analysis, involved in smart city projects around the world. Its catalogue combines sensors and devices specialised in measuring air quality, noise, traffic and other key environmental indicators. To bring the usefulness of these products closer to its target customers —public bodies and B2B leads not always familiar with the technical terminology—, Libelium has developed Iris 360, an interactive 3D infographic that recreates a virtual city and shows how each IoT solution works on the real environment.
Making IoT understandable to non-technical leads.
Libelium faced a challenge typical of B2B marketing for advanced technology: how to get clients and leads unfamiliar with IoT's technical terminology to understand the use, the benefit and the real impact of its products on the urban environment. Its solutions —air quality, noise and traffic sensors, among others— solve specific smart city problems, but explaining that with text, data sheets or traditional presentations didn't convey the power of what the technology really does on the ground. A tool was needed to translate technical complexity into immediate visual understanding.
