“ The approach needed for the digital transformation of infrastructure is very different than the rest of the industries .”
— Sayaji Shinde , the Business Head of Smart City , Smart Infrastructure and Smart Water average speed and the volume of vehicles across the stretch of road gives visibility of the traffic pattern through the day . This data can then , not only , be used to manage traffic signal timings but make infrastructure decisions of whether to build a flyover at a junction or just widen the curvature of the road .”
The definition of “ what is smart ” can be a grey area for industry . The concept of digital transformation is constantly evolving to encompass new frontiers without much of a framework and , by designing a transformational approach that can progress with the birth of new technologies , we can alleviate unnecessary expenditure and target change towards a more focused outcome , Sayaji believes . Despite potential challenges , Sayaji is confident that the business can continue to grow : “ Within the past two years , AVEVA has secured five smart city deals and now we are venturing in other areas like airports , sea ports , facility management and data centres .”
