Participate in the Small Smart City Day Andalusia to share the new trends in technology and digitalization for localities

Hidralia, an Andalusian environmental company that is responsible for the integral management of water, has been one of the firms that has participated in the Small Smart City Day Andalusia, organized by the Official College of Technical Telecommunications Engineers of Andalusia and the Diputación de Málaga and that has been developed in Malaga.

An event where organizations and cities of Andalusia, of less than 20,000 inhabitants, have shared the new trends in technology and digitalization, as well as the opportunities for modernization and technological transformation for this segment of cities.

In this way, Hidralia has taken advantage of the forum to highlight DINAPSIS as a boost for the digital transformation of small Andalusian municipalities by being the spearhead in digital transformation and innovative technological solutions to achieve the resilience of cities.

This was explained by the Director of Business Development and Innovation, Ernesto Sánchez, in the presentation made during the table of 'Smart Cities Technological Trends', in which Javier Feixas Ballesteros, responsible for Cloud and Smart City Projects of Telefónica, Juan Fernández Morales, director of Smart City Projects of Innovasur, and Ignacio González, also participated.  CEO of Earthcare.

Specifically, DINAPSIS (which in Andalusia is currently implemented on the Costa del Sol) is a digital operations center that includes a network of digital transformation hubs for the management of water, energy, environmental health and the ecological transition of the territory. A network of digitized services that allows contributing to the development of smart, resilient and green cities through different technological applications ranging from the total sensorization of water cycle networks for monitoring and control in real time, to the measurement of air quality or connectivity with civil protection centers to coordinate emergency situations such as major floods,  among countless solutions.

This platform offers tools to optimize management, improve the maintenance and conservation of infrastructures as well as the reduction of leaks, water quality control, remote reading and work management, through a centralized planning that enables rapid decision-making in the face of unforeseen events and that presents digital solutions to advance the sustainable development of localities and improve their resilience, by reacting to climate crises in an immediate and coordinated way to reduce the impact on the city.

To this we must add its Environmental Intelligence Platform, a powerful tool that facilitates the knowledge of a wide catalog of ecosystem indicators at the municipal level, so that decisions can be made, as well as strategies that allow municipalities to advance in their sustainability.

Hidralia considers that water is one of the key pillars for the green reconstruction of cities, placing the digitalization of the management of this service as an essential stimulus for sustainable development and the resilience of municipalities.
