Not only Barcelona, Seville, or Bilbao can address <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wonderware.es\/Industrias\/infraestructuras\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>SMART initiatives<\/strong><\/a>, but medium-sized cities such as Sant Cugat, Pontevedra, Pozuelo, Guetxo, or Fuengirola can advance in the same way in a process of integrating operations related to urban planning management and public spaces. <\/p>\n<p>As mentioned in this <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wonderware.es\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series of posts about UOC<\/a><\/strong> (if you have not read them, I recommend them!), the union of <strong>operations management in a unified control center<\/strong> will optimize management resources and be more efficient in daily operations.<\/p>\n<p>It <strong>is not necessary to make a large investment<\/strong> to have a unified control center, but you can start with the integration of the operations of some of the systems and have a small control room that, in the future, thanks to the <strong>scalability of the Wonderware UOC platform<\/strong>, can be expanded in size, signals, screens, and client equipment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/becolve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GISIZE-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"885\" height=\"477\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14312\"><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00ff00;\">I<\/span> What are the systems that can be most easily used to set up the Unified Control Center and that medium-sized cities such as Rub\u00ed have already started to implement?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Automatic lighting control system<\/li>\n<li>Distributed well and pump management system<\/li>\n<li>Irrigation system in green areas<\/li>\n<li>Asset management system for maintenance and patrols<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Having these integrated systems will allow the different operators (obviously, each one with their access permissions) to <strong>operate from the same platform<\/strong>, both remotely and in the control center. This will allow them to <strong>operate the systems and visualize the global status of the distributed assets<\/strong>, as well as to cross-reference data very easily in order to carry out a common operation, such as energy consumption.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wonderware.es\/centro-de-control-de-operaciones-para-infraestructuras\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/becolve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/UOC_ebook.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"485\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15524\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The urban planning and public space engineer faces a series of <strong>needs<\/strong> on a daily basis, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Energy saving (integral management of buildings and public lighting)<\/li>\n<li>Water saving (irrigation of parks&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>Environmental improvement (air quality, noise&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>Improvement and management of electric mobility<\/li>\n<li>Improvement in operations management<\/li>\n<li>Improvement in contracting flexibility with standard and open platform<\/li>\n<li>Share public information with citizens<\/li>\n<li>Share Open Data information with app developers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are needs that are implicit in the <strong>digitalization of cities and the adoption of new technologies<\/strong>. That is why choosing an open and standard platform, without making us captive to a single company to set up the control center, is one of the most important decisions in this process. A platform that allows adapting to the future and current needs with <strong>solutions<\/strong> of:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Centralized monitoring and open data<\/li>\n<li>Local control<\/li>\n<li>Integration into centralized platform (UOC)<\/li>\n<li>Verticals and standards for different needs<\/li>\n<li>Scalable growth (being able to start with something small and grow)<\/li>\n<li>Integration with wireless network deployments and IoT\/cloud technologies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We would like to end with <span>a video of the <strong>UOC of the city of Barcelona<\/strong><\/span> <strong>developed with Wonderware technology<\/strong>, in which the integration of the irrigation of parks and gardens began and was expanded with new functionalities such as public fountains, escalators, elevators of the city\u2026 <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GC7iMfjh6N0\" title=\"YouTube video
