As global internet users continue to rise, smart devices are reshaping the world. These devices are now equipped with cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT), and they are rapidly being adopted in sectors like healthcare, education, and automotive industries. As a result, daily life has become more intelligent and efficient. This is a clear example of how technology is transforming our environment.
Smart cities are driven by four key characteristics: comprehensive perception, ubiquitous broadband connectivity, intelligent integration, and user-centered sustainable innovation. These elements form the foundation for building smarter urban environments that can respond dynamically to the needs of their inhabitants.
Luo Wen, Dean of the China Electronic Information Industry Development Research Institute, emphasized that the trend of integrating multiple aspects within the information sector is becoming more pronounced. It's no longer feasible for companies to focus on just one area or technology during the innovation process. The ability to integrate across the industrial chain is now a crucial factor in determining success. For instance, Samsung has become the world’s leading electronics supplier through vertical integration, while companies like IBM and HP have built their strategies around offering end-to-end solutions—ranging from strategic planning to project implementation and business outsourcing.
Integration is set to be a major force in the future of the security industry. With the growing demand for smart systems, security solutions must evolve to meet the challenges of interconnected environments.
Energy Convergence: Smart Building Technology Can Save Up to 40% Energy
In response to national low-carbon development strategies, energy-saving technologies are being advanced to improve building efficiency. A notable innovation is the “network intelligence, energy-saving expert central air conditioning energy-saving system,†which is currently the first of its kind in the country.
At the Siemens Beijing Center, known as one of the top green buildings, lighting in office areas is divided into grids based on desk size and controlled remotely via the main control room. During non-working hours, all lights are turned off, but during work hours, each grid is intelligently managed. When employees sit at their desks, the building’s automatic sensing system adjusts air conditioning and window shades according to light and temperature levels, ensuring maximum comfort.
The system also uses motion sensors to detect human presence. If no movement is detected for a period, the lights will automatically turn off. In addition to lighting and climate control, other energy-saving measures include heat recovery, free cooling, and chilled beam technology. These innovations have helped the Siemens Center reduce energy consumption by 28% compared to similar buildings, cutting annual COâ‚‚ emissions by 1,200 to 1,600 tons.
Another example is the Guangzhou West Tower, which features over 10,000 OSRAM LED lights on its glass curtain walls. These lights are controlled by an intelligent system that allows for dynamic pattern changes at night, making it a stunning landmark along the Pearl River.
Smart Integration: Key Features of Smart Cities
Smart cities rely on continuous innovation, comprehensive and thorough perception, broad and ubiquitous connectivity, and the application of intelligent integration. Through sensing technology, every aspect of urban management is monitored and fully perceived. Smart cities use various sensing devices and intelligent systems to recognize and stereoscopically sense changes in the environment, status, and location, then integrate, analyze, and process the data to optimize city operations.
Ubiquitous broadband connectivity ensures that people and things can communicate seamlessly. Whether wired or wireless, these networks provide full interconnectivity and real-time interaction, enabling smart cities to operate efficiently and respond to user needs anytime, anywhere.
The application of intelligent integration transforms modern cities into open, complex systems. Advanced sensing technologies generate massive data, which, when combined with cloud computing, enables efficient storage, computation, and analysis. This leads to better decision-making and enhanced user experience.
Ultimately, the trend toward intelligent integration is pushing the security industry toward high-end development. China’s IT industry should focus on cloud computing and big data services to implement catch-up strategies. Data sharing in fields like government, education, healthcare, finance, and transportation will drive the growth of big data applications such as multimedia search and precision marketing. This will accelerate the development of smart terminal operating systems and enhance information service networks, ultimately improving customer experiences.
