Case Study: Österåker Municipality achieves real-time digital twin integration with Frends Enterprise iPaaS

Österåker Municipality brings real-time data to 49,000 residents with Frends Enterprise iPaaS

Österåker Municipality, a public sector organization in Sweden, sought to implement a digital twin to enable smarter urban planning and more responsive public services. Their challenge was integrating and filtering complex real-time data from various external sources into the Unreal Engine visualization platform, which lacked native capabilities for this. They turned to the vendor Frends Enterprise iPaaS and its low-code integration platform to bridge this gap.

Using Frends iPaaS, the municipality built a solution that filters, transforms, and routes only relevant real-time data into their digital twin. This allowed a small IT team to create data flows without writing complex custom code, significantly reducing development bottlenecks. The results include a functional, photorealistic digital twin that is becoming an everyday operational tool for various departments to monitor infrastructure, optimize transport, and plan development, ultimately delivering more value to its citizens. Frends served as the crucial nervous system that made this digital transformation possible.
