Within every strong city, a curated list of safety measures and protocols assures that residents and visitors are secure at all times. While comprehensive welfare has remained the backbone of any adequate environment, digital enthusiasts and techno-optimists are finding ways to optimize the precautions in established communities.
Among the companies taking major steps toward smart city development, SKYX Platforms confidently shares its plans to better big boroughs across the United States. Having announced its partnership with a $3 billion, multifunctional, high-tech municipality in Miami’s Little District, the business aims to transform a century-old industry with inventive technology and never-ending dedication to safety.
A Promising Smart Platform Project with SKYX
SKYX, similar to other high-tech platforms, emerged from the early vision of its founder, Rani Kohen. Taking significant inspiration out of exasperation with the ordeal of installing light fixtures and ceiling fans—hours wasted wrestling with tangled wires, dangerous electrical hazards, and the ever-present risk of harm, the company’s SkyPlug concept (written on a napkin) would soon spark a 15-year journey to reshape electrical safety.
In collaboration with Miami’s Little District, a 63-acre urban initiative led by Swerdlow Group, SJM Partners, and Alben Duffie (a collective venture dubbed SG Holdings), SKYX could put itself in a positive position to develop an increasing number of connected cities.
Boasting plans to provide more than 500,000 products spanning from its SkyPlug to its most current technology, SKYX is a resilient mixed-use smart platform driven by real-world impact and industry participation. The project includes over 5,700 apartments and condominiums that support workforce and affordable housing, 350,000 square feet (sq. ft.) for retail proposals, 1.5 million sq. ft. of economically friendly walkways, bike paths, parks, shuttle lanes, and a novel $35 million commuter rail station.
Distinction in Smart City Development Efforts
Akin to many tech-forward businesses, SKYX firmly believes that smart buildings and cities can represent humanity’s future in a rewarding way. Positioning itself as a leading provider, the platform’s success arises from its collaborative practices with organizations, including ANSI (American National Standards Institute), NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association), and NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), alongside industry leaders who hope to prioritize joint progress.
Receiving Recognition Despite Obstacles
While the triumphs of the SKYX team remain plentiful, the connected crew experienced its fair share of hurdles on the path to successful smart city development. Facing struggles in securing National Electrical Code (NEC) acceptance and developing the SkyPlug, their efforts would take over thirteen years as a result of the safety industry’s intricate nature.
Redefining Electrical Safety With a Smart City-Centric Future
As SKYX Platforms looks ahead, the company’s founder and executive chairman, Rani Kohen, continues to express confidence in partnering on the project of Miami’s Little District, focusing on its impact and importance in the heart of Florida’s beloved city.
Within the next five years, the company and its inventive owner aim to make SkyPlug the new global standard in novel home construction and retrofits. Additionally, the business aspires to integrate its platforms with major IoT (Internet of Things) ecosystems, creating safe homes with all-encompassing connectivity.
By utilizing electrical safety and smart home technology solutions like SKYX’s SkyPlug, cities and dwellings nationwide have the opportunity to become safer, smarter, and more sustainable for humanity in the years to come.
