Our AI Algorithm does all the work for you.
Our irisGO™ technology helps redeploy undervalued city resources to other high value assignments and work activities by replacing dedicated city units, human inspectors and vehicles with an AI powered data collection & processing IoT system and by optimizing and connecting ubiquitous city assets - turning city buses, garbage trucks, employee vehicles and other mobile & static assets into “Smart”, autonomous and robust data collection systems.
Vision Based Solution with Private Data Automatically Redacted
The key element of irisGO™ is the ability to collect data automatically then transmit the captured data to administrators utilizing the irisCITY™ cloud reporting platform. Data flow includes integration with existing customer data platforms. Each day data is visualized with location, state of the art ESRI-based GIS mapping, to identify specific data points found. Administrators are now in a position to visualize the defect and make data driven decisions based on the need and location. The next step is to click through for immediate work order processing.
Vision Based Solution with Private Data Automatically Redacted
- Data collection is delivered via the irisCITY™ data portal
- Data integrated within existing city platforms for continued down-stream efficiencies
- Operational awareness dashboards through spatial analysis & data science using ground truth data captured by irisGO™, Geotab’s GO9 & ESRI technologies
Our solution helps cities make data driven decisions, whether its building better roads, finding preventive maintenance opportunities or creating asset inventories, irisGO™ is your complete data collection system.

New technologies promise to help municipalities better manage urban environments and deliver services in a more effective and efficient way. They can help to make communities more liveable, sustainable, and fair. Many involve the collection and use of large amounts of information, including personal information. Cities or municipalities that use these connected technologies are often described as “smart cities.”
The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario (IPC) provides independent oversight of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). This act protects the privacy of personal information by setting rules for its collection, use and disclosure by municipalities and municipal institutions. These rules also give individuals the right to access their own personal information.
IRIS R&D Group is MFIPPA compliant.
