IoT safety analytics for live event operators

Live event control rooms juggle crowd density, weather, and infrastructure health in real time. Rather than bolt on a dozen dashboards, we design IoT programmes that deliver a single, trustworthy picture of venue safety.
Prioritise actionable instrumentation
We survey sites to identify sensors that inform decisions—power draw, queue heatmaps, structural vibration, and air quality. Data that cannot drive an action is removed. That discipline keeps operators focused on the feeds that matter.
Govern the data lifecycle
Telemetry is only valuable when it is trustworthy. Farmedia teams provision secure device identities, signed firmware pipelines, and automated certificate rotation. The result: facilities managers trust the numbers because they know the pipeline is tamper-evident from edge to cloud.
Close the loop with automation
Alerts alone are not enough. We integrate venue management systems so responses are triggered in seconds—opening contingency gates, adjusting HVAC profiles, or dispatching roving teams. Humans stay in control, but repetitive responses are handled consistently every time.
