DESIGNING THE CITIES OF TOMORROW

The development of smart cities is a major challenge. SPIE draws on its in-depth market experience and cutting-edge strategic vision to help you design sustainable solutions.

Our work is based on a comprehensive audit of existing infrastructures, enabling us to identify areas for improvement and to offer the best solutions.

Qualified experts, backed up by reliable data, then set realistic objectives for developing the community, including:

• network architecture;
• ICT infrastructure;
• data management and security;
• cost control;
• compliance with regulations. 

SPIE offers tailor-made proposals that take into account the requirements of each urban development project, and then assesses the technical choices that are selected. We can also help you to manage costs effectively and draw up a financing plan.

IMPLEMENTATION AND ROLL-OUT OF A CONNECTED CITY

SPIE will guide you through the transformation of urban areas. Our approach comprises several elements, such as:

• modernising and raising the standards of existing infrastructures: SPIE will renovate and upgrade the technology of existing facilities, preparing your city for future innovations.
• sustainable purchasing policy: our purchasing policy aims to procure environmentally responsible materials and technologies, reducing the carbon footprint of our projects.
• new and refurbishment work: we take care of everything, from new projects to the renovation of existing spaces. Our team adapts to work effectively in busy environments, minimising disruption and ensuring maximum safety.
• integration and deployment of interoperable solutions: our solutions enable remote and seamless coordination between different services and infrastructures.
• multidisciplinary technical expertise: the management of our projects involves technical expertise covering all building trades, thus ensuring seamless integration of the various components of a Smart City.
• secure information exchanges: we implement rigorous measures to secure data and data confidentiality in connected cities.
• change management: we offer tailor-made support to help local authorities and citizens adapt to new technologies and work practices.

MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION: SECURING THE FUTURE OF SMART CITIES

The maintenance and operation of a smart city are key to ensuring sustainable performance. SPIE will therefore intervene quickly to ensure that urban infrastructure can function flawlessly.

Our commitment includes real-time management of urban facilities and services to ensure they can operate at optimum efficiency and in line with regulations.

Energy management and optimisation are central to our work. We monitor environmental performance by considering data such as air quality and overall electricity consumption in order to optimise them, and we commit to delivering high-quality results.

We develop dashboards and technical reports for accurate monitoring and carry out satisfaction surveys to respond to user needs. SPIE's commitment to innovation drives us to continuously monitor technology so that the cities we support remain at the cutting edge of technology and performance.
