With increasing urbanization, mounting cost pressures, and demand for improved quality of life, there is now a global move towards infrastructure consolidation, upgrade, and continuous improvement.
There is now a greater need than ever for:
- Seamless integration between systems, sites, people, and assets.
- Improved operational efficiency and reduced energy cost.
- Adherence to cybersecurity, safety, and regulatory compliance
- Exceeding expectations while delivering on service-level agreements.
- Transparency Across Facilities
- Asset Performance
- Centralized Operations
Improving operational efficiency through the breaking down of historical information silos, seamlessly aggregating data from a plethora of hardware and software sources, and delivering valuable, contextual and actionable insights, is what complex automation projects involve.
For Smart Cities, this challenge is magnified by the interconnected, real-time nature of the systems and processes being monitored and controlled – either centrally, or remotely – and the expectations of people relying on these systems to participate in day-to-day urban living… and be happy whilst participating
Management of modern city infrastructure can include the management of assets such as buildings and facilities, transport stock (buses, trams, and trains), power distribution, bridges and tunnels, lighting, security and surveillance equipment, and increasingly, data centers, Wi-Fi, and communication networks.
The combination of assets with connected devices, and most importantly, the data captured for each of these assets, introduces the need for technology solutions to harmonise disparate data, as well as provide a single view into maintenance needs, downtime predictions, and scheduling of proactive maintenance.
The focus on cities to become “smart” is increasing the demand for centralised Command and Control Centers.
Private companies have been implementing Operation Centers for many years. Few private companies, however, have the complexity of disparate data silos, multi-vendor system architectures, and the sheer number of many millions of citizen consumers relying on their infrastructure to participate in an economically viable and functioning society.
