NTT to deploy Smart Venue pilot at Detroit's Little Caesars Arena

DETROIT – March 2, 2022 – NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, NTT Corporation, NTT Data Services) and Ilitch Sports + Entertainment (IS+E), in collaboration with the Innovation Institute for Fan Experience (IFX) and members of its “Xperience” consortium, have agreed to deploy the NTT Smart Solution in a smart venue pilot at Little Caesars Arena in the Detroit area.

As a leader in this first IIFX Xperience consortium project, NTT will ingest digital data from multiple sources in real time to provide both situational awareness for management teams and an improved fan experience. The NTT Smart Solution will be deployed to monitor venue occupancy levels by applying predictive and correlation analytics to data collected from optical sensors and ticket scans. The system will count the number of people in front of the gates and the number of tickets scanned, providing visibility into foot traffic and determining both real-time and predicted occupancy levels and entrance wait times.

Little Caesars Arena, home to the Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Pistons and world-class entertainment, renewed its SAFETY Act certification, the highest level of protection awarded by the US Department of Homeland Security, in early February. It is the only venue that integrates NHL, NBA and entertainment to receive this certification.

Today's fans increasingly want immersive, connected and social experiences from the moment they leave home to after they return. Through this IFX Experience Consortium project, which includes technology innovation leaders Axis Communications and Johnson Controls, the latest cutting-edge technology solutions will be deployed at Little Caesars Arena to help address current and emerging challenges in the industry.

The initial phase of the project will focus on leveraging data from the arena's two main entrances, using a total of four AXIS M5525-E network cameras as crowd-counting optical sensors. Two sensors will be installed at the Huntington Entry Northwest Entrance and one at the Comerica Southeast Entrance. NTT will provide a web-based management dashboard to provide single-pane visualization and analysis.

"NTT continues to lead the way to transform the sports and entertainment industry digitally. Little Caesters Arena is one of the leading entertainment venues in the United States," said NTT's Senior Managing Director Akira Shimada. We are glad to have found a new opportunity to expand the partnership between Ilich Sports + Entertainment and IFX to improve the experience of visitors. I am.

According to Vice President Bill Bayber, NTT Smart Solutions, "We are deepening and evolving value proposals to meet the specific needs of the venue. In addition, the partnership with Ilich Holdings is a partnership. It will play an important role in strengthening our presence in the Detroit district. "

NTT is a global leader in smart technology. As one of the founding councilors of the IFX Experience Consortium, NTT leads a pathfinder project that builds all the future consortium "living lab" projects.

"I am glad to have a partnership with NTT to improve our guests and security experiences at the Little Caesters Arena," said Richard Fenton, Vice President of Irich Holdings Corporate Security & Safety. 。 "Ensuring our fans and colleagues is our top priority, and incorporating evolving technology is an important part of that process.

NTT Smart Solutions were initially devised in 2018 to strengthen public safety in Las Vegas. Since then, it has been adopted to track the usage status and occupancy rate in parks and other places, and in Clark County, Chicago Navy to improve the occupancy rate and number of vehicles, and in IndyCars. Pia has been introduced on demand buses at Edmonton International Airport to ensure the safety of passengers at Edmonton International Airport to improve the situation. NTT will continue to promote smart functions that respond to new issues facing organizations around the world and contribute to local economic development. < SPAN> NTT's Senior Managing Director of Akira Shimada said, "The NTT continues to lead the way to transform the sports and entertainment industry digitally.

Caesers Entertainment uses score cards, which are the guidelines for managers in their sustainability. Despite the appropriate development of a score card, the company's managers were able to discuss sustainability. In addition, hotels and casino guests have more information about the company's gaining more information about reducing energy consumption, recycling waste, and reconstructing local communities. The numbers also showed that they had to have them and want to visit again.
In early January 2013, Gary Loveman, chairman and CEO of Caesters Entertainment, the most geographical gaming company in the world, is Hillary Faigan, a casino employee in Las Vegas. I was listening to the latest analysis results about how customers feel about the green program. She has recently been excited to sort out survey data from customers who stayed at a 45 0-room hotel in Harraz New Orleans and share the results.
As a result, the more information on hotels and the company's efforts that are being conducted, such as reducing energy consumption, recycling waste, and reconstruction of regional communities, the more the guests have a good feeling of the company called Seasss. , Enjoying the experience at the casino, it was found that the tendency to reserve revisit increased. This analysis resonated with Loveman's views on factors that succeed in the service industry. The proof that conducting and advertising a sustainable practice in line with the goal of the company's corporate liability has a pleasant effect on his ears.
Larg e-scale resorts and casino facilities operated by Caesters Entertainment consume a large amount of energy and resources. Saesers manages 43, 000 hotels in all facilities, but the average Caesters Hotel, which has 2, 000 rooms, consumes 4. 9 million kilowatts (per month) and consumes electricity and 14. 2 million gallon water. 357 tons of waste was discharged.
For the past nine years, Caesers Entertainment has invested nearly $ 70 million in the energ y-saving project and invested in larg e-scale renovation of 162 or more, including the following:
Installation of indoor and outdoor lighting with high energy efficiency and reducing lighting usage

Improving the efficiency and effects of air processing systems

Remodeling equipment by high energ y-efficient upgrade
Reduction of water used in laundry facilities
Roo m-upgrade upgrade
Replace technical control devices with advanced energ y-saving sensors

Install low flow water control devices and equipment in the guest area

Introduction of comprehensive recycling programs

Education of environmentally friendly practice methods for employees

About the Case Study

These and other saving projects have saved several types of caesters:

Save more than 28 billion kilowatts every year.

Save more than 3. 3 million terms per year.

Each year, more than $ 24 million resources are saved.

Every year, 298 million pounds of carbon dioxide are avoided.

Phase 1: Targeting “Low-Hanging Fruit”

In 2012, pure income has $ 8. 6 billion, and 52 casinos around the world have been on a long way to gain a reputation as an environmental leader in the hospitality industry in the past few years. 。 Sierra Club, the US Environmental Protection Agency, the Green Building Council, etc. have received more than 50 prizes and certifications for sustainable leadership, and LEED Silver for Caesters Las Vegas Convention Center and hotel expansion work. Authentication was awarded. In just five years, the company reduced carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 10 % and reduced energy use per square foot by 20 %.

Four Key Sustainability Areas for Hospitality Organizations

Loveman has been strengthening its sustainability since 2007, when the economy was beginning to weaken. At that time, the gaming industry was depressed. Caesters' revenue has fallen, and the company has forced the company to reduce more than 20 %. It was a very opaque situation when the situation turned around.

Energy conservation.

This case study is part of a series of stories produced by MIT SMR, exploring analytica l-led tissue. Some of the stories are based on interviews with Caesters Entertainment. Prior to the publication, this case study was reviewed.

Water conservation.

Despite the decline in anxiety and morale, many facilities in Caesters Portfolio have begun to develop creative methods to reduce costs, reduce energy consumption and waste, and increase recycling. Loveman found the opportunity to build their initiatives and supported the creation of a sustainability program. < SPAN> Upgrade of guest rooms for rooms

Caesters' revenue has fallen, and the company has forced the company to reduce more than 20 %. It was a very opaque situation when the situation turned around.

A year later, Caesters' sustainability programs were institutionalized in more than 50 Caesters Properties. Administrators are responsible for reducing energy, impact on customers, and employee engagement goals (including other indicators) through sophisticated score cards. Caesers's reputation as a sustainable leader has begun to show business value that exceeds cost reductions, and each facility attracts popular conference businesses, secure employees, and enhance customer royalties. can. (See the main projects and savings by Saesers Sustainable Program ").

Loveman did not intend to make the company live in his glory. But he was thinking about the next way to go. Should I work more aggressively to protect the environment? If so, how?

All facilities have already reduced carbon dioxide emissions and waste, greatly increasing efficiency. No further improvements were probably dramatic, and the motivation of employees could be reduced. Loveman was also encouraged to connect financial incentives to the indicator of the score card, which was disgusting for him. Should the company really pay the staff to improve the sustainability profile of their facilities? Loveman did not know what the next stage of Caeser's sustainability program would be like. However, he was convinced that the innovation of the sustainability of the management and staff was a strong sign of how they would become innovative in the future.

Phase 3: Orchestrating Improvement

Shortly after becoming Caesers CEO in 2003, Loveman became known for the innovative approach of mining customer data and improving customer service and marketing. However, in 2007, no matter how much data mining was performed, the number of customers did not increase, and many of them began to worry about stability of households. Once the name of Harraz Entertainment, Caesers reduced employees and reduced costs over the years by cutting down general benefits, including contributions to the 401 (K) plan. Reducing more than 20, 000 employees from about 90, 000 employees was a severe morale.

However, at that time, Loveman and other executives noticed that many facilities owned by the company showed surprising resilience and initiative. They were ideas to save energy and water, reduce waste, and implement them. (See the four major sustainability for hospitality organization.)

There are four main ways that companies like casinos and hotels can improve their sustainability profile: energy and water conservation, waste management, and procurement/facility development.

Combustion through electricity and fuel use is the largest source of carbon emissions for hospitality companies, but leakage, refrigerants, and wastewater treatment facilities are also important areas for sustainability-related savings. Reducing electricity and fuel used for lighting, signage, heating and cooling, and restaurant equipment through more efficient light bulbs and other capital investments can result in significant savings. In addition, there are opportunities to achieve savings related to staff and guest travel.

Top Performers on the CodeGreen Scorecard

Beyond the water needed for laundromats, the amount of water used for showers, restrooms, and restaurants is large. In addition, many of Caesars' properties have fountains, landscaping, and golf course irrigation systems. Relatively small steps, such as installing new shower heads, can result in big savings.

Hotels and restaurants can reduce waste by recycling or finding new uses for food scraps, cooking oils, paper, plastic, glass, soap and shampoo, and surplus or damaged building materials.

Hospitality companies can be mindful of the environmental and social impacts of the products they purchase and encourage their suppliers to change their business practices. Additionally, new construction and renovation plans can incorporate environmental and social considerations.

For example, at one Indiana resort, the facility manager began collecting used cooking oil from the hotel kitchen and reusing it to fuel vehicles and heat a small storage room. Other hotels experimented with low-flow showerheads, instituted a default setting of off-position for refrigerators in guest rooms, and introduced an opt-out linen program in which all guests opted out of daily linen service unless specifically requested.

Looking Ahead

Loveman liked the fact that the ideas were generated by employees, and that a small but noticeable group was enthusiastic about participating in activities during work hours to reduce costs and protect the environment. He thought that recognizing these activities and encouraging employees to develop "green" programs could have a variety of benefits.

For example, at one Indiana resort, property managers began collecting used cooking oil from the hotel kitchen and reusing it to fuel vehicles and heat a small warehouse. Other hotels were experimenting with low-flow showerheads, instituting a default off position for in-room refrigerators, and instituting an opt-out linen program where all guests opted out of daily linen service unless specifically requested.

Saesers has invested in energ y-related activities for several years before 2007 to improve the efficiency of ownership and reduce power demand. The innovation of employees over cost reduction has strengthened existing approaches to reduce energy throughout the Caesters. For employees, the important problems we believe in the business itself has become a way to increase personal growth and employee engagement. It was also an opportunity to actively appeal to customers what kind of company the Caesers are, and to improve the Caesters brand. "Casino is a controversial business," This (initiative) was an opportunity to emphasize the company as a corporate citizen. "

In October 2007, Caesers published a compan y-wide program called "Codegreen", the company's first comprehensive sustainability strategy, aimed at organizing and supporting employees involved in projects at the regional level. 。 In order to teach the entire initiative and coordinate the activities of each facility, Loveman has selected Gwen Migita, who has been working in the company's corporate communication and governmen t-related departments. Loveman asked Migita, the director of a corporate social responsibility, to formulate a sustainable strategy for multiple years and to form a team that examines and recommends the best strategies used by other companies. Migita has begun to work closely with Eric Dominges, the director in charge of energy and environmental services, who has already managed some aspects of the company's environmental strategy.

CodeGreen was designed to be positioned under the already implemented commitment code. CodeGreen was designed to be located under the already established Code of Commitment. CodeGreen pledges responsibly to customers, support the local community, respect employees, and build a satisfactory career. < SPAN> Caesers has invested in energ y-related activities for several years before 2007 to improve the efficiency of ownership and reduce power demand.
