Pacific Controls Systems (PCS), a provider of information and communication technology-enabled managed services and solutions for smart cities, critical assets and machines, is set to launch its Galaxy-2021 Software Platform in the first quarter of next year.

The new software technology will manage city services, business processes and infrastructure in real time, enabling delivery of everything as a service, optimise business operations, increase service efficiency and sustainability for smart cities, said a statement.


The Galaxy-2021 has been designed using the Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) to deliver three new and unique innovations.

It includes providing the flexibility and scalability required to deliver large-scale public and private services; enabling provisioning of Galaxy Gbots, innovative autonomous software agents which observe and act on device and system behavior to provide automated maintenance, trouble shooting and security services; and deploying a Software Defined Machine (SDM) approach for device communications and device data integration based on a software abstraction layer that significantly reduces the time and complexity to integrate diverse machines, equipment and systems.


It will enable a broad range of public and private managed services including provisions for everything as service, dynamic security, healthcare, hospitality, education, retail, transportation, infrastructure and financial applications, said the statement.

The delivery of critical real time data from diverse urban assets to decision makers business stake holders and citizens will enable significant new operational efficiencies, more effective services and reduced operating costs for cities, it said.

Dilip Rahulan, executive chairman, said: "The next great step in the Internet of Everything - completely fluid information and fully interoperating devices, people and systems - requires a new generation of data and application integration platform technology that will make information itself truly portable in both physical and information space, and among any conceivable smart information devices and machines.”

“I am pleased to announce that Galaxy-2021 is designed from the ground up to address this requirement,” he added. - TradeArabia News Service
