Mecca: stc Group has deployed several advanced digital services and solutions-most notably Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and the Smart Tent-designed to keep pace with the advancement of the Hajj service system and achieve the highest levels of efficiency and quality during this season, with participation from both the public and private sectors.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the Smart Tent is a key component of this system, integrated with a network of sensors and cameras connected to IoT systems. This enables the precise monitoring of environmental conditions inside and outside the tents, including temperature, humidity, and safety indicators such as smoke detection, among other metrics that help ensure pilgrims perform their rituals safely and securely.
This system enables the accurate identification of the types of services required-whether medical, security, or logistical-by relying on real-time data that pinpoints the locations and numbers of pilgrims. This allows for early warnings to be issued, contributing to the protection of lives and enhancing emergency response times.
stc Group affirms that these services represent significant support for the efforts of the relevant authorities in serving pilgrims, with an ongoing commitment to developing innovative solutions that contribute to the success of the Hajj season and enhance the experience of pilgrims from around the world.
