Concept Design Sketch or Artist Impression
Always create a concept design sketch or artist impression visualizing the main functions, capabilities, and services the smart city will provide.
Creating an architecture for a smart city is difficult. Dragon1 guides you with a fixed set of essential products to create and processes to follow.
Structure Vision and Enterprise Blueprint
Always design a functional ground plan with areas or domains where you organize what services are needed.
For each organization that has to be created or changed, design a blueprint showing what needs to be added or changed at each layer.
Infrastructure Landscapes
Always create a high-level overview and detailed Infrastructure Landscape (in parts) where you make it clear what (interoperability) standards and technologies are needed to create an infrastructure where solutions, services, and apps can be plugged into. You will be creating more than one infrastructure.
Solutions, Services & Apps Maps
Always created a high-level overview of the detailed Infrastructure Landscape of the solutions, services, and apps that will use the infrastructure.
The projects that are building solutions, services, and apps in a modern way will need landscapes or maps to build something that will fit.
Solution Architectures per Project
Make sure that every project has at least two diagrams: 1) a functional diagram of the solution it is creating and 2) a technical diagram of the solution it is creating.
Have an overall functional and technical diagram where all the solution architectures fit together.
Why should you build Smart Cities and Industries?
Well, if you visualize Smart Concepts and Smart Principles, you can much more easily manage and mitigate risks when realizing, for example, Smart Companies in Smart Cities. You can build broader support for your vision, foster a shared understanding, gain valuable insights, and provide overviews for stakeholders. And you can see the impact of your decisions and the impact of the change in front of you.
With interactive visuals, you can MANAGE the transition towards a Smart Industry or Smart City.
Smart Companies
Let us start with a definition of a Smart Company:
Definition Smart Company:
An organization that is adaptive, efficient, and competitive by being designed and built under architecture, with modern concepts, knowledge, and technology fully optimized and implemented, exploiting the benefits. This often leads to standardization, complexity, and cost reductions. These are not goals themselves, but they contribute to the organization's adaptability, efficiency, and competitiveness. Because it is savvy to implement concepts and their principles as optimally as possible, we call this a smart organization, or the Smart Company, such as a Smart Digital Twin Organization
More and more, our companies are becoming digitized. In the future, all contact between the company and the clients may be digital. To be ready for that, future organizations must take a step forward. All those basic 90s, 00s, and 10s issues must be dealt with once and for all. New, emerging technologies such as 3D printing, nanotechnology, robotics, and drones must be integrated into the company's core.
Only the smart companies, companies that make optimal use of new technology, are the ones that will survive.
The digital futures require new digital enterprise architectures with smart concepts. These concepts are designed on the Dragon1 platform.
Examples of Smart Companies
Examples of smart companies that can be designed are:
Smart Concepts
On Dragon1, everyone has the opportunity to design smart concepts. We mean smart concepts that utilize new technologies to their optimal advantage. These smart concepts will form the basis of everyone's new digital future.
Smart Concepts Examples
Examples of Smart concepts that can be designed are:
- Zero waste energy factory
- Noninvasive operation concepts
- A digital secretary
- A smart farm
Smart Cities
Cities today have many challenges: dealing with the massive quantity of waste, dealing with energy usage, and dealing with a huge number of travelers and commuters. How can we ensure that everyone has access to education, a job, and a place to live? To address these challenges, big cities must have intelligent facilities and infrastructure. Everything will be digital. Everything will be connected. The Internet of Things will help us in this regard. On Dragon1, everyone can design the architecture and structure of the digital facilities and infrastructures.
Examples of Smart Cities
Examples of Smart Cities that can be designed are:
- A city with the lowest unemployment and the highest level of education
- A city with very low criminality
- A city without private transport vehicles
Smart Industries
So we have nanotechnology, robotics, drones, 3d printing. But how do we use them to solve problems like water shortages and food scarcity, or to reduce fatalities? It is time for entire industries to wake up and innovate across their respective branches. On Dragon1, one can design these new industries. It is all a matter of setting ambitious requirements and designing the solution's architecture and structure to meet them.
Smart Industries Examples
Examples of Smart Industries that can be designed are:
- Unstainable and untearable clothing
- Indoor / Cabinet growing fruits and vegetables
- Zero fatality transport vehicles
