Smart infrastructure strategies and concepts

Make a positive impact for a sustainable future.

Advances in data science, analytics, and complex event processing help to turn the flood of data from new sensors into meaningful insights for value-oriented decision-making.

Using our functional reference architecture, we at PTI Consulting help you to analyze your technology base, evaluate the future technical requirements for the future grid, and design comprehensive technology roadmaps to meet those requirements.

To avoid issues of compatibility, scalability, and servicing, our functional reference architecture is designed around a completely product-agnostic and technology-neutral vision.

It enables use -cases to be created with minimum ambiguity, and allows executable technology implementation roadmaps to be designed.

Smart city visioning

Envision the city of the future.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of smart cities, aligning and prioritizing objectives can be a complex task, with stakeholders often struggling to understand their roles and the potential impact of their decisions.

Siemens PTI Consulting addresses these challenges with our Visioning module. We prioritize and align client objectives, conduct persona analysis, and develop use cases. This process enables us to create a comprehensive list of potential solutions, interventions, and technologies. Furthermore, we provide a qualitative estimation of non-financial value streams, ensuring a holistic understanding of the potential benefits.

Smart city technology scoping

Address the challenges of a smart future in a structured way.

A broad set of solutions may be applied within a smart city context, each promising to address unique challenges. However, without a structured approach to selecting these technologies, cities invest in solutions that are not cost-effective or impactful.

Siemens PTI’s technology scoping module provides a structured approach to technology selection. We gather and scope data, streamline the selection of solutions, interventions, and technologies, and conduct an exhaustive cost and impact analysis. This process, which encompasses both financial and non-financial aspects, culminates in a high-level business case calculation.

Smart city roadmap design

Implement your vision of a smart city today.

Once a vision is set and technologies are selected, the next challenge is to design a roadmap for implementation.

The Smart City Roadmap Design module offers a comprehensive solution for this challenge. We bring together budget requirements from all selected use cases and smart applications, strategically sequence and “stage” them considering mutual dependencies and technology maturities, and conduct comprehensive calculations for scenario business cases, return on investment, and net present value. We offer additional support ranging from recommendations on policy framework design, to updates for codes and regulations.
