Imagine yourself as an employee, heading to work at Punggol Digital District (PDD).
You walk into your building, and the lift automatically brings you to the floor of your office. When you reach your desk, the air-conditioning and lights are adjusted to the way you like them, and your morning coffee all prepared for you. All these without you even lifting a finger.
This is exactly how Mr Ulf Pettersson, Chief Technical Officer at Info-Software Systems, Electronics, ST Engineering, envisions the smart district to be like when it opens in 2023.
Such advanced technology will be possible thanks to the design and deployment of an Open Digital Platform (ODP). A joint partnership between JTC and ST Engineering, the ODP will connect various digital subsystems within the district, from building management to access control and energy optimisation.
