Design and deploy a centralized city monitoring platform

Brief

As an important step towards the digitalization of government  facilities,  a  Regional  Digital  Control Centre (RDCC) was launched in EMSD Headquarters in 2020 Q3. Arup has been appointed to provide the design services and digital platform development works for this RDCC.  The platform development will be based on the existing Neuron data platform architecture with customized user requirements.

Scope of Works

• City-wide GIS monitoring
• Unified data platform
• Building system monitoring
• Performance benchmarking
• Analytics and AI algorithm
• Emergency response

Design Approach and Implementation

The RDCC will serve as a centralized digital platform to supervise and monitor critical E&M equipment, thus identify and quantify the potentials of enhancing assets’ operational efficiency and environmental performance through data analytics capability. The scalability and system capacity are the most critical consideration of this platform to support over 400 government buildings and dramatically increasing IOT devices into a central data platform and provides flexible API interfaces for future data ingestion.
