AVEVA, a specialist in industrial software, driving digital transformation and sustainability, is participating in GITEX Technology Week 2021 held from 17?21 October in Dubai
Together with its strategic partner, Schneider Electric, AVEVA is demonstrating its AVEVA Unified Operations Center for Smart Cities, which seamlessly integrates systems, sites, people and assets for cities of the future, at the Middle East?s largest technology exhibition.
With increasing urbanisation, mounting cost pressures, and demand for improved quality of life, there is now a global move towards infrastructure consolidation, upgrade, and continuous improvement of cities. AVEVA?s unified operations center for smart cities drives streamlined operational efficiency and reduced energy costs, while promoting adherence to cybersecurity, safety, and regulatory compliance.
?Our Unified Operations Center is the command-and-control solution for infrastructure and smart city operators based on an integrative ?System of Systems? approach. It can be used to collate information from various data sources to anticipate and resolve problems even before they are presented, coordinate various resources and processes for seamless operation, and generally make more strategic decisions. It converges OT and IT technology into a single pane-of-glass solution, where the operator can effectively monitor and control entire city operations through a ?City in a Box? approach as we like to call it,? said Dr Tariq Aslam, head of MEA, AVEVA.
AVEVA?s Unified Operations Centert for smart cities and Schneider Electric?s IoT-enabled sustainability platform ? ecostruxure resource advisor offer smart city operators a powerful solution. The ecostruxure resource advisor is a best-in-class, AI-assisted, cloud-based solution for managing cross-enterprise energy and sustainability data, which shows how operators can track data across more than 400 categories to have near real-time access to their resource performance.
EcoStruxure is powered by Microsoft Azure enabling integration and interoperability to turn data into meaningful insights. The data is paired with Schneider?s unique approach to energy and sustainability consulting, bringing together technology and expertise, resulting in a ?mind-plus-machine? approach to climate action.
?AVEVA, Schneider Electric and Microsoft are accelerating the delivery of smart city innovation across regions. Our unique combination of capabilities helps municipalities capitalise on the power of technology to become more agile, resilient, and sustainable. We plan to demonstrate smart cities in action on our Unified Operations Center with our strategic partners, Schneider Electric and Microsoft on their stands.?
It is estimated that by 2030, the world will have 43 megacities, each with more than 10 million inhabitants. Converting existing infrastructure to smart infrastructure is the key to improving cities. With unified data and analytics, smart city operators are empowered with better information, which means they can make more informed decision to optimise operations for the new environment in which they are operating.
