Definition of SSC
Five elements of definition of SSC
ICT, including infrastructures and acquirement, transmission and
processing of information.
Municipal administration and public service
Citizen livelihood
Industrial development and innovation
Environmental and ecological sustainability
A smart city is mainly based on the information and
communication technologies. Through the transparent and
full access to information, the extensive and secure
transmission of information, and the efficient and scientific
utilization of information, it increases the urban
operational and administrative efficiency, improves the
urban public service level, forms the low-carbon urban
ecological circle, and constructs a new formation of urban
development.

A case study: standing water
management in Wuhan City
issues
Wuhan, a city on
Changjing river,
has a humid
tropical climate
with annual
rainfalls over 1100
mm. When
continuous
stormy weather
occurs, water
could not be
drained
immediately. The
result is serious
traffic jams and
power outages.

Through the realtime data collecting and
analysing of drainage system, the refining
solution can be given out and work status
of the drainage system can be monitored. It
will provide information and suggestion for
traffic management.

Economic sustainability - smart design and
manufacturing
Smart Factories:
Goal:
More automation, better control &
optimisation of factory processes
Means:
Software, lasers & intelligent devices
embedded in machines & factory
infrastructure
Factory productivity
•Less waste
•Less energy use
•Faster time-to-market
•Better quality
Virtual Factories:
Goal:
To manage supply chains; to create value
by integrating products εt services
Means:
Software to holistically interconnect εt
manage distributed factory assets; new
business models εt value propositions
Digital Factories:
Goal:
To “see” the product before it is produced
Means:
Software for the digital representation εt
test of products εt processes prior to their
manufacture εt use
São Paulo, Brazil, 30 July 2013
Supply-chain productivity
•High-value products
•Keep jobs
•Process transparency
•IPR security
•Lower CO2 footprint
Design productivity
•Reduce design errors
•Better εt efficient products
•Less waster + rework
•Faster time-to-market
