Aspern Smart City Research wins IDC’s 2020 Central Asia Awards, made possible by the MindSphere City Graph

“With the MindSphere City Graph our partners Siemens Advanta and Microsoft supported us to integrate multiple data sources in an efficient way and we were able to jointly build digital twins of our city district in a very short time frame,” says Roman Tobler, Manager at ASCR and Wiener Netze. “IT/OT integration skills were one key success factor for developing this IoT solution to generate value for Aspern Smart City Research and it shall support us to improve real-time transparency of our grid, not only to cope with the rising demand of eVehicles today, but to proactively address new business models in the near future.”

MindSphere^® is the leading industrial IoT as a service solution that uses advanced analytics and AI to power IoT solutions from the edge to the cloud. The Siemens MindSphere City Graph offers a new way to optimize city operations.
