Namchi Smart City
Namchi Smart City modernizes its urban management with AVEVA Unified Operations Center
Namchi, as part of India's Smart Cities Mission, aimed for innovative, sustainable and resilient development to serve its population. However, the city lacked insight into its heterogeneous services and applications and had no consolidated real-time data, which directly affected the quality of day-to-day civic decisions. To meet this challenge, Namchi partnered with AVEVA and deployed AVEVA Unified Operations Center to build an integrated command center and a technology platform unifying all municipal services. The city modernized its existing urban infrastructure and adopted smart technologies to improve its residents' quality of life. The results are compelling: about 20% energy savings, operational efficiency up about 40% and an early deployment that delivered time to market three months ahead of schedule. Namchi now supports tourism, drives economic growth and confirms its smart city ambitions.

FAQ
How does AVEVA help a city become smart and sustainable?
AVEVA Unified Operations Center provides Namchi with a unified technology platform that consolidates the supervision of heterogeneous municipal services. This hypervision improves residents' quality of life by optimizing urban resources in real time: energy, transportation and public services. The city is modernizing its existing infrastructure while integrating smart technologies, without having to rebuild everything. It is a pragmatic approach to urban digital transformation, aligned with India's Smart Cities Mission.
Why do cities lack consolidated data to manage their services?
Historically, municipal services (water, electricity, transportation, waste) have been equipped gradually with different proprietary solutions, creating information silos. Before AVEVA, Namchi suffered from a lack of insight into its disparate applications, which hampered day-to-day decision-making. AVEVA Unified Operations Center breaks down these silos by aggregating real-time data streams into a common repository accessible to all civic managers.
What results has Namchi achieved with AVEVA Unified Operations Center?
Namchi achieved about 20% energy savings, increased its operational efficiency by about 40% and accelerated its deployment by three months compared with the initial schedule. These results demonstrate the maturity of the AVEVA solution and a municipality's ability to transform its civic services quickly. It is a particularly fast return on investment for complex urban infrastructure, and a model for other emerging communities.
How can existing urban infrastructure be modernized without rebuilding everything?
AVEVA Unified Operations Center is built on an open architecture capable of integrating existing equipment and systems through numerous industrial connectors. Namchi was thus able to add a hypervision layer on top of its legacy infrastructure without heavy replacement investments. This scalable approach is essential in emerging cities where budgets are tight but demand for modern services is rising with population and tourism growth.
Why is resilience a key issue for a smart city?
In the face of climate, demographic and economic risks, a smart city must be able to anticipate and react quickly. AVEVA Unified Operations Center provides Namchi with real-time KPIs and critical notifications that trigger preventive corrective actions. This operational resilience supports tourism, stimulates economic growth and ensures continuity of services to citizens, even when infrastructure is under strain or experiences an incident.
