Smart Cities:
Condition-Based Maintenance
The digital transformation is underway. With the infrastructure prepared, decide what to do now.
If you have reached this point, you will be interested in knowing how to use the information you previously connected. First, let’s review what we need from each infrastructure.
Water in parks, gardens, and swimming pools:
Some of the equipment, such as valves or pumps, require remote control to command their actions. In those facilities with permanent maintenance personnel, such as municipal swimming pools, it is advisable to have a display interface.
Other information such as pressure sensors, vibration sensors in motors, or meter readings, must be at least prepared for remote reading from the cloud.
Transportation
Urban buses adapted with their IOT infrastructure report their position and relevant information from their control unit in real time, communicating with the cloud via wireless networks.
Parking
Information on free spaces in public parking lots, pricing for recharging electric vehicles, measurement of traffic flow, and communication with information panels for citizens are highly demanded functionalities.
It is recommended that all equipment be sending information to the cloud and a parking display interface with permanent staff.
Waste
Sensors to report the filling of a container are a reality and can send their information to the cloud.
In more unattended industrial estates, this is usually a problem that has an easy solution.
Buildings
Buildings usually have on-site maintenance personnel. Include a system of interaction with them and analyze your systems from the cloud.
Optimize its operation with real data, do it on site, from the control center, or from anywhere.
Environment
They are the senses of our city, which inform us if it is cold, if it is raining, if it is very windy, the air quality, or if the sun is shining. By itself, this information is valuable in the cloud for consultation, but what if we go further?
Program actions such as NOT watering the parks or cutting off traffic in the center depending on what is really happening in your city.
Public lighting
With the connected control panels, we can improve energy efficiency. With information on weather conditions of visibility, we can vary the ignition schedule. In addition, maintenance can also be optimized.
Condition-Based Maintenance
The Cloud Solution, for Access from any Device and from Anywhere: AVEVA Insight.
Cities have an advantage thanks to technological advancement, and that is the connection of things (IOT). However, for this information to be useful, it needs something more, such as secure access and simple and efficient information exploitation.
Our Cloud solution is secure for collecting, storing, visualizing, and analyzing data from infrastructures in the cloud, and also collaborates in making operational decisions to improve efficiency and accessibility from the desired device. Simplicity reduces configuration time without losing the requirement of having a secure data platform and remote access, based on the cloud.
You can start using one of the most powerful tools, which allows you to consult information securely, at any time, from anywhere, and from any device.
Before investing money in this solution and verifying the savings it will bring, try the solution for 45 days, more than enough time to study what will be good news in the future: Save fuel on unnecessary trips, foresee the future cost of our equipment to be replaced, analyze if everything is working correctly, and of course, be transparent allowing access to the KPI’s Dashboard consultation to the city’s government team, and even to the citizens.
The city’s water consumption, the reading of energy meters of public lighting, the noise level graph in different areas of the city…. Bring your infrastructures closer, from here we can evolve.
Digitize your Procedures: Empower your Team
With the infrastructures connected to the water or energy meters, only the necessary trips will be made and errors in manual data collection will be avoided.
You will be able to standardize operations avoiding future service problems and security risks. A typical problem is the loss of knowledge due to the retirement of the most experienced personnel without being able to train new operators.
What functionality could help you?
Advanced workflow management
Users can configure alerts when the deviation between the real values and the expected values exceeds the permitted limits. The fuel tank level of the town hall’s boiler has dropped.
Detailed analysis and reports
Detailed and comprehensive reports can be generated and accessed through web connections to share with the multifunctional team, so that management has greater visibility of the field tasks performed.
Accelerate the images of the processes
Allow safe operations conditioned to the execution of the best practices by the field personnel, accelerating and maintaining the improvement of the main processes.
Automation of procedures
Promote the execution of best practices, accelerating and sustaining the improvement of the main processes.
Relate maintenance tasks to business strategies
Condition the irrigation system of the parks to the environmental conditions and the price of energy at the time.
Evaluate and manage risks to improve the future
Check the cost of a lighting technology for lighting, taking into account its initial cost, its duration, and its consumption.
