We define the attractions of a city in these five layers for the purpose of developing a Smart City: real estate development (first layer), basic infrastructure (second layer), smart infrastructure (third layer), life services (fourth layer), and lifestyles, culture and art (fifth layer).
Based on the layers, we are making proposals by “packaging urban attractions,” using the solutions individually provided by participant companies.
In the past, examinations of a Smart City generally started with the development of a master plan with the main focus placed on the first layer (real estate development), a second layer (basic infrastructure), and a third layer (smart infrastructure).
We collaborate closely with best-of-breed urban planners to help customers envision technology landscapes – including total cost of ownership – to support the needs of citizens, enterprises and governments.
Global ICT partners with smart city operating platform that enhances situation awareness, improves operational efficiency and enables future-back scenario planning. It is designed to connect with a wide variety of data sources and synthesise, information to support decision-making.
Global ICT comes with pre-built application modules that serve specific functionalities across industries. The open platform also provides third parties such as government agencies and enterprises the ability to create adapters to connect with new data sources, and APIs to develop custom applications on top of the platform
Global ICT partners have years of proven track record as systems integrators in the world, we can offer the assurance of delivery on time, and continual support that goes above and beyond service requirements. Our experience in operating facilities that support mission-critical systems for governments and enterprises positions us well to provide smart city services using our best-of-breed products as well as partner offerings.
We believe the smart city of the future can only be enabled by actionable insights derived from the synthesis of data from a wide range of sources. This vision has guided us to develop Global ICT partners, an open, interoperable and scalable smart city platform that can help governments and enterprises to:
A core IP developed by NCS, Global ICT partners has the next-generation smart city operating platform designed to help government agencies and enterprises take on the challenges confronting most urban landscapes today.
Global ICT comes with a suite of widely used smart city applications that are relevant for urban infrastructure today, spanning the following use cases:
Customer Experience
Wayfinder
An indoor navigation tool to aid customers, visitors and employees in navigating large, complex building environments so as to save time and enhance user experience.
Facility Management
Smart Car Parking
Real-time parking lot availability data powered by weather-proof, magneto-resistive ground sensors.
Smart Washroom
Real-time monitoring of washroom conditions through sensors and advanced predictive analytics to optimise productivity.
Tag and Trace
Tractability and location intelligence of key assets and individuals, as well as alerts in cases of unauthorized exits or equipment usage above a pre-defined limit.
Security
Our advanced physical security management software with unique patented 3D video fusion technology can control a wide variety of subsystems through a single user interface.
Video Analytics for Security
Video content analysis of surveillance feeds to provide services such as intrusion detection, perimeter defence and detection of unattended objects, crowd detection, loitering and aggression.
Utilities
Energy Meter Data Mgmt.
Remote gathering and analysis of energy meter data to improve energy usage and drive greater sustainability.
Water Meter Data Mgmt.
Enhanced efficiency with remote monitoring of water consumption levels and alert to unusual water usage scenarios.
iLight
An integrated outdoor and indoor lighting control management system that allows automated control of the lights (based on weather and light conditions) and optimisation of power consumption over time.
Analytics
Social Media Analytics
Discover and track trending topics over social media to make sense of sentiments on the ground to help organisations handle operational responses.
Global ICT has been designed as an open, modular platform with northbound APIs to develop custom applications and southbound adapters to integrate into a wide range of data sources. This empowers our customers and partners to create tailor-made applications by connecting sensors suited to their specific industry needs.
