With the "Make in India" initiative drawing the attention of foreign companies to manufacture their products in India, the most talked about endeavour of the Narendra Modi / Central Government is 'Smart Cities'. The major objective behind the Make in India is to focus on job creation and skill enhancement in 25 sectors of the economy while attracting capital and technological investment in India.
Experts predict that India's urban population will grow by 40% and contribute 75% of India's GDP by 2030 which means there is requirement of comprehensive development of physical, institutional, social and economic infrastructure.
The Smart Cities initiative would provide core infrastructure and offer a decent quality of life to its citizens, enhance performance and interactivity of urban services to reduce costs and resource consumption. This initiative addresses and integrates four core pillars -- multimodal mobility, reliable power, secure and smart infra, and clean environment. To build these pillars, you need to have solutions which can create a strong foundation.
Smart solutions will definitely bring change to our lives by giving us live status updates on traffic, pollution, parking, water, power and so on. Emerging technologies are poised to reshape our urban environments. Using sensors, wireless networks, web and mobile-based applications, Smart Cities are soon going to become a reality.
With our extensive knowledge, understanding and expertise in the Electrical & Automation space, we are geared to support the Smart Cities mission with competencies and solutions like SCADA, Control System, Electrical and MIS. Our expertise incorporates the know-how, acquired from the commissioning of various solutions across verticals like Building Management System, Highway Traffic Management System, Power Management System, Water SCADA and Automatic Meter Reading over the last decade.
C&A has another interesting new offering in its portfolio � Video Analytics Solutions. For meeting the security and surveillance needs of Smart Cities, video analytics can be used for Object detection, Face recognition, License plate recognition, Assets security, Loitering detection, Overcrowding identification and Emergency response scenarios.
In the case study section, we reveal how Integrated Building Management system installed at the Hyderabad Metro Rail successfully operates and manages various utilities for the convenience, comfort and security of travelers.
We are also delighted to feature an interview with Mr. Prashant Newaskar, Chief Engineer - RAPDRP at Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited that captures his experience of working with C&A.
Finally, we are sharing insights about 'Industrial Internet of Things' (IIOT) and its perspective on Smart Cities' development that fulfills the need of changing marking demands.
