Sevilla TechPark designs a digital twin for efficient management of events, security or emergencies

The park publishes three new preliminary consultations to the market in its Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI) project, focused on digitalization and smart site management

Sevilla TechPark, part of the Regional Ministry of University, Research and Innovation, continues to make progress in the global Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI) project to implement measures aimed at making the park a decarbonized, sustainable and energy self-sufficient site, in line with the objectives of the eCitySevilla initiative. The technology park has published today three new preliminary consultations to the market, focused on smart digitization of the park: digital infrastructure, data platform and event management system, emergencies and security with digital twin.

The purpose of the preliminary market consultations is to open up the participation of private companies, specialized in different sectors, in future public bidding procedures. Thus, companies that wish to do so can make their proposals for the implementation of these measures, so that the contracting body (in this case, the management company of Sevilla TechPark) can take it into account in the public tender.

With the implementation of the 12 lines contemplated in the CPI process (to which the Regional Ministry has allocated a total of 19.8 million euros, through the Andalusia ERDF Program 2021-2027), Seville TechPark will become an urban laboratory of reference, testing products or services that do not yet exist in the market, which can be extrapolated to other urban environments.

The preliminary market consultations published today total a budget of €3.88 million and have as their common focus the improvement of operational efficiency, safety and sustainability of the park through the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G and cloud computing.

One of the three lines launched proposes the implementation of an event, emergency and security management system through a digital twin and area protection. A digital twin is the virtual representation of an object to which real-time data is incorporated, which can be captured by sensors or data analysis technologies. This system would make it possible to simulate scenarios, anticipate risks and automate responses to, for example, large crowds of people, thanks to the use of advanced computing, 5G networks and artificial intelligence tools. The budget allocated to this line is €660,000.

The second of the preliminary market consultations refers to the development of an interoperable and scalable digital infrastructure that will enable the active and continuous management of the park. This infrastructure should facilitate collaboration between entities, promote environmental respect and provide intelligence to the buildings, integrating sensors, communication networks and real-time analysis platforms. The amount allocated to this challenge is €2,160,000.

The last of the lines published today focuses on the need to create a control room based on an open data platform, accessible to the park's companies. This platform should make it possible to visualize and analyze data in real time, facilitating strategic and operational decision-making. This is a commitment to transparency, interoperability and the use of artificial intelligence to optimize the park's resources. This line has a budget of €1,060,000. 

Proposals for these consultations may be submitted by individuals or legal entities, public or private, individually or in consortium. The submission period will remain open until September 29th.
