New Smart City Solution to Improve Decision Making

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

A new Unified Operations Center was launched as a command-and-control solution for infrastructure operators such as smart cities and facilities management, and for industries like Oil & Gas, and Mining.

AVEVA, a UK-based company focusing on engineering and industrial software, is collaborating with leading companies in these verticals. The company has developed solutions that are repeatable, scalable and adaptable, enabling fast implementation and return on investment. 

The Unified Operations Center is a central hub that transforms the control room into a collaborative workspace. Functional silos enable teams to make better decisions based on accurate, real-time information. It is the first single solution that integrates IT and OT (Operational Technology) applications in a central hub, enhanced by industry-specific customizations.

The Unified Operations Center offers faster time-to-value through industry-proven solution templates, reports, dashboards and operational KPIs that unify all available data from operations, process, engineering, maintenance and finance, enabling teams to improve their situational awareness of real-time operations and make better decisions.

Organizations such as the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Assmang Proprietary Ltd and the city of Atal Nagar in India have pioneered early versions of this tailored approach and have realized reductions in project implementation times by as much as 60% over the more time-intensive process of integrating bespoke solutions, according to the company website.

Unified Operations Center is based on a ‘system of systems’ approach. This enables seamless plug-in of apps, predictive analytics, CCTV video, GIS maps, ERP systems, Engineering P&ID diagrams and more, all within the unified user interface.
