With the development of the digital economy and smart cities around the world, a new wave of digital transformation will sweep through cities. Smart campuses – crucial components of smart cities – have become important for the urban digital transformation and the modernization of industry.
Government campuses – such as industrial parks, government office parks, ports, customs zones, hospitals, and school campuses – are usually designed and built by governments or by companies in collaboration with governments. These campuses are typically designed to meet the manufacturing or scientific needs of specific industries and have complete water supply networks, power networks, communication networks, roads, and other facilities.
Because they are so large and perform important functions, the intelligent transformation and upgrading of government campuses will facilitate digital visualization of public resources, improve business processes, enable intelligent public services, and provide better services to users and city dwellers.
Campus Management Challenges
As these campuses grow – in the number and scope of services they offer, as well as in terms of the physical space they occupy – so does the scope and depth of campus operations management. For campus managers, traditional systems have several problems dealing with such changes:
- isolated subsystems, meaning that data cannot be interconnected and services cannot be converged
- the campus security situation cannot be accurately, efficiently or comprehensively captured
- Water and power, ventilation and air conditioning systems lack unified management, which leads to a poor user experience
- a lack of efficient energy management measures and low energy efficiency.
Problems like this mean that existing technologies and architectures can no longer keep up; Campus information systems urgently need to be upgraded.
A new phase in campus governance
Driven by the heavy service traffic, campus management has entered a new phase – building a stable and intelligent campus management system is no easy task.
With decades of experience in smart campus management and government, Huawei has a Smart government campus solution. Cloud services and cloud edge collaboration technologies enable campus digitization. Huawei is also working with partners to provide smart campuses for all scenarios, enable service innovations, improve operational efficiency and create a simplified experience.
In order to achieve digitization of the government campus, task prioritization must be based on the requirements of campus governance. The smart construction of government campuses typically focuses on typical application scenarios for routine operations management, such as security protection, access control, and equipment and facility management.
Smart security
On a hot summer’s day, an operator on duty in a high-tech industrial park receives an alarm message stating that there is a burning smell from building number three in the park. Once they have the information about the alarm stored in the system, they start verifying the authenticity of the alarm before alerting a decision maker on duty. After receiving the alarm message, the decision maker contacts the staff from logistics, general affairs and administration to examine the situation together.
This is a typical process for dealing with security incidents on government campuses. The whole process is based on personal experience and lacks scientific support, while a lack of data sharing between departments makes cross-departmental linking impossible, which makes the situation worse.
The intelligent transformation and upgrading of government campuses will facilitate the digital visualization of public resources
With Huawei digital platform and intelligent campus security applications, the operator can immediately initiate the emergency response process as soon as he receives an alarm via the system on duty and send the alarm to all decision-makers on duty. When they receive the alarm, on-duty decision-makers can use handheld devices to instruct the appropriate departments to respond to the emergency.
A geographic information system (GIS) map based on a real scenario simulation is used on a large screen in the command center to localize the incident. Potential hazards, operational materials and fire fighting equipment in the area are also clearly displayed on the map and the handling situation on site can be viewed in real time. With the coordination of the intelligent security system, the incident can be handled in half an hour.
