AMSYS Powers Agentic AI for City Operations Transformation at Smart City Connect 2026

Raleigh,  NC - March 9, 2026. At Smart City Connect in Raleigh, AMSYS and the hardware vendor, Lenovo, are unveiling a fully integrated, AI-driven agentic deployment transforming downtown Cary Park into a living blueprint for modern municipal operations. The deployment is an AI City Management Agent, made possible with Town of Cary CIO Nicole Coughlin, combining real-time video analytics AI intelligence, IoT sensor networks, reasoning models, and accelerated computing platforms to deliver operational intelligence for public safety, hospitality, infrastructure management, and municipal services.

At the center of the deployment is True North’s APOLLO platform, an interactive operational dashboard for city operators. By integrating with NVIDIA Metropolis Blueprint for video search and summarization (VSS) and NVIDIA Cosmos Reason vision-language model (VLM) City of Cary has been enabled with video analytics AI agents that provide real-time alerts, auto-reporting, and event summarization capabilities. APOLLO acts as the operational command center for Cary, enabling predictive analytics and insights for traffic analytics, congestion detection, and event detection.

Town of Cary will be leveraging a Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675V3 GPU rich server with 4 NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs with the NVIDIA AI Enterprise Software Suite powering the platform. The team is also building a Lenovo Validated Design (LVD) based on ThinkEdge SE100 with NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation GPU allowing for a true edge to cloud platform for hybrid AI delivery providing scale for additional devices, sensors and workloads.

City operational events such as flooding, emergencies, hazards, traffic, and maintenance services can be monitored and responded to in real-time. As a result, AI training and video insights support customized vision models specifically optimized for outdoor park and urban environments.

“Smart Cities connect systems. Cognitive communities learn from them. We are transcending dashboards and reactive monitoring to create living, adaptive environments where trusted data and AI continuously learn, anticipate, and act in real time. This evolution matters because communities are our greatest asset, the places where life unfolds, shaped every minute by weather, events, and thousands of connected assets. Across more than 38,000 local governments and 90,000 jurisdictions in the U.S. alone, complexity is the norm. If we want communities to be sustainable, resilient, and future-ready, they must be able to learn and with NVIDIA AI infrastructure, they can.” Nicole Coughlin – CIO, Town of Cary

This collaboration between AMSYS and TrueNorth, alongside hardware from Lenovo, represents a shift from reactive monitoring to predictive, AI-driven city operations. For city CIOs navigating modernization mandates, budget constraints, and rising public expectations, the solution offers a collaborative ecosystem rather than a single-point product. Each partner contributes specialized expertise across AI acceleration, digital twin engineering, and systems integration.

Together, real-time video intelligence, synthetic AI training models, edge AI computing, LoRaWAN and IoT infrastructure, and digital twin visualization bring a scalable blueprint for intelligent urban environments that enhance safety, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision-making. Downtown Cary Park now serves as a model for municipalities nationwide seeking to implement secure, scalable AI-powered digital twin platforms. The live deployment in Cary serves as a real-world example of how cities can move beyond siloed systems toward an intelligent, unified operations environment.

Meet the Team at Smart City Connect 2026
City leaders and technology executives attending Smart City Connect in Raleigh, March 10-12, are invited to meet the AMSYS, True North, and NVIDIA teams to explore how this integrated approach can be tailored to their municipalities. To connect with the team during Smart City Connect, stop by the booth #701 or request a meeting onsite to begin the conversation about transforming your city into an intelligent, responsive digital environment.

​True North and Blue‑Band Partner to Deliver AI‑Powered Intelligent Infrastructure and Secure Edge Intelligence to Cities

True North and Blue‑Band Partner to Deliver AI‑Powered Intelligent Infrastructure while Bringing Secure Edge Intelligence to Cities

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, November 12, 2025 / EINPresswire.com/ -- True North Software Solutions, LLC and Blue-Band, LLC announce a strategic partnership to modernize municipal and transportation infrastructure through real‑time, AI‑powered intelligence. The collaboration combines Blue‑Band’s Integrator‑AI™ edge compute platform with True North’s digital twin and operational dashboard, delivering new Data‑as‑a‑Service (DaaS) solutions. The partnership enables cities to securely harness streaming data from across their infrastructure, transforming it into actionable insights that enhance mobility, safety, and efficiency. Municipalities and Commercial customers can expect seamless interoperability, real‑time visibility, and cross‑system intelligence across utilities, mobility, and public safety infrastructure. This joint solution fuses IoT, sensor, and traffic data into a unified intelligent infrastructure layer, allowing cities to see, understand, and act instantly.

True North + Blue-Band help cities, utilities, higher education, and building owners gather, contextualize, and interpret vast amounts of data they generate daily. From public safety and energy efficiency to data fusion and workflow automation, True North delivers automation of urban life, empowering municipalities to make data-driven decisions that improve the livability, workability and sustainability within their community. The True North operational dashboard/digital twin solution delivers real-time, insights from IoT sensors, cameras, and other municipal assets providing a range of capabilities to manage, secure, analyze, and visualize assets in support of city modernization initiatives.

Blue-Band, a leader in edge intelligence and computing, delivers V2X solutions to address the intersection of physical infrastructure and real-time data around urban mobility and intelligent transportation. Blue-Band is expanding their presence in the intelligent infrastructure space by enabling data services across a secure environment for municipalities as well as other verticals. Blue-Band is known for delivering technology solutions designed to optimize urban mobility, including traffic signal actuation, smart parking, travel time reporting, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) data collection.

“Integrator‑AI™ moves infrastructure beyond connectivity, it creates intelligence,” said Kevin Yorke, CEO of Blue‑Band. “By securely fusing multi‑sensor data at the edge, we orchestrate raw inputs into Smart Data that powers V2X and autonomous‑ready systems. Together with True North, we’re redefining how cities think about operational data.”

“Our team is dedicated to leveraging and fusing existing data into something unique and operationally insightful to support urban modernization and efficiencies,” states Bill Pugh, Co-Founder of True North Software Solutions. “We deliver visualization insights with trust, transparency, and traceability to empower municipalities, and other verticals including cities, utilities, and infrastructure owners; taking any data to actionable levels to act quickly or autonomously.”

The partnership will resolve typical issues with…
  • Siloed Data Sources: Independent dashboards create operational silos where each system (Public Wi-Fi, Traffic/First responders, cameras, IoT sensors) operate in isolation.
  • Timing Misalignment: Each solution typically operates on different refresh rates. Wi-Fi systems might update every few seconds, traffic monitoring may be timing based, and camera feeds in real-time.
  • Limited Correlation Capabilities: Cross-system analysis requires manual data export/import processes or custom integrations. For example, power outages with traffic patterns require operators to manually overlay data from both systems, introducing delays and potential human error in critical decision-making scenarios.

Together, True North and Blue‑Band are empowering the next generation of connected infrastructure, where cities don’t just collect data, they act on it.
