Smart City Command Platform
Il problema
The operations centre has screens for lighting, water, traffic and buildings, but each is a separate system, so incidents that cross departments are handled by phone.
Panoramica della soluzione
MILESGO gateways collect data from street light controllers, environmental stations (PM2.5, PM10, noise, weather), level sensors, electricity meters, parking guidance and barrier systems (API or Modbus) over OPC UA / MQTT / Modbus TCP / BACnet/IP, and deliver it to the operations / command centre, large-screen dashboards (HDMI), the city IoT platform, SMS, email and messaging alarms as OPC UA / MQTT. Field equipment keeps its own protocol and control logic; integration is done by configuration and point mapping, not custom code.
Typical scope
- street light controllers
- environmental stations (PM2.5, PM10, noise, weather)
- level sensors
- electricity meters
- parking guidance and barrier systems (API or Modbus)
Protocol path
OPC UA / MQTT / Modbus TCP / BACnet/IP → OPC UA / MQTT
Implementation checklist for the project manager
- List dashboard users and roles, and configure user permissions accordingly.
- Define an alarm matrix (priority, recipient, escalation) and test every alarm end to end at SAT.
- Fix a site / asset naming convention before the first site so data from all sites can be compared.
- Keep OT networks segregated and use VPN for remote access instead of opening ports to the internet.
- Agree KPI definitions (for example OEE components or kWh per unit) with operations before building dashboards.
- Roll out in phases: pilot one site or area, confirm data quality, then replicate.
Project deliverables
- Signed point table and protocol mapping
- Gateway configuration files and backups
- IP address plan and network drawing
- FAT and SAT test records
- As-built documentation and operator training
Architettura del sistema
Field layer: street light controllers, environmental stations (PM2.5, PM10, noise, weather), level sensors, electricity meters, parking guidance and barrier systems (API or Modbus), connected over OPC UA / MQTT / Modbus TCP / BACnet/IP. Edge and integration layer: MILESGO protocol gateways and edge controllers, mounted on DIN rail in existing panels, polling each device, time-stamping values and buffering them locally. Upper layer: the operations / command centre, large-screen dashboards (HDMI), the city IoT platform, SMS, email and messaging alarms, which receives the data as OPC UA / MQTT. Remote access for maintenance runs over VPN rather than open internet ports.

Fasi di realizzazione
- 1
Site survey and point list
Inventory devices, protocols, register maps, panel space, power and network paths.
- 2
Design and point table sign-off
Map every point to the target protocol and system; agree it with the client and the upper-system contractor.
- 3
Configuration and FAT
Build the gateway configuration off site, simulate it and test against the signed point table.
- 4
Installation and wiring
Mount gateways on DIN rail, wire RS-485 / I/O / Ethernet, apply the IP plan.
- 5
SAT and alarm tests
Verify values against local readings, test every alarm and command end to end.
- 6
Handover and support
Hand over configuration backups, point table and as-built documents; train operators.
Valore per il cliente
- One view of all subsystems instead of separate vendor consoles
- Alarms reach the right person by SMS, email or messaging apps
- Open interfaces (BACnet, Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, HTTP) avoid lock-in to one vendor
- Data ready for cloud platforms and analytics
