Betting on innovative solutions

Since 1921, SICE has been installing and maintaining equipment and systems to provide the best service to citizens. After their first experiences in electromedicine, refrigeration, lighting and traffic regulation, throughout its history, the company has diversified its solutions to develop intelligent systems, covering almost all sectors that can facilitate and improve citizen's lives: transport, mobility, environment, and communication. It has always tried to improve these systems and to offer the most innovative solutions at all times.

Industry 4.0

This broad diversification has led SICE to work in automation and robotisation. The company has strongly positioned itself in Industry 4.0, with automation projects for assembly lines, elevators, scaffolding and single point warehouses in Turkey, Brazil, Germany and Spain. Recent projects such as Newark for SAS (2017) or Emden for SESÉ (2021) demonstrate the company's high level of excellence and execution, with a consolidated presence in the market.

Commitment to the client

Throughout the last 100 years, all the projects developed and milestones passed highlight the excellence, the capacity for improvement, innovation, anticipation and adaptation that the company and its professionals have had throughout these years. Always staying faithful to its principles: commitment to the client, value creation, efficiency, risk management and desire for leadership.

Integrated solutions

The world is moving faster and faster. It demands that companies take a step forward in searching for integrated solutions to improve citizen services, facilitate management and save resources. In recent years, SICE has aligned with European initiatives that promote this smart solution.

This is how "Smart" projects have emerged that integrate the management of several or even all the solutions of a municipal or supra-municipal area: energy, mobility, security, waste treatment, water resources, lighting, environment, tourism, etc.

The objective is that the client can simply manage all the services through a single platform. Thus, important improvements are achieved in energy efficiency, maintenance cost savings and sustainable development.

New technologies

The real-time data collection, the automation of responses and the ability to cross-check information on different areas are based on Big data, Machine Learning. and Artificial Intelligence, among others. Thanks to this intelligence, the platform can help in decision-making and make predictions of behaviour and consumption to optimise the service or warn of possible risks. In addition, this global solution integrates a form of two-way communication with users, who can obtain information about their municipality or province or report incidents.

Smart Projects

Thanks to its previous experience in the management and integration of global solutions, SICE has been able to tackle in 2019 the project "Smart and Sustainable Cordovan Municipalities" for the Provincial Council of Córdoba. It is designed to meet the needs of more than 70 municipalities, with a population of fewer than 20,000 inhabitants each, which do not usually enjoy the global services that large cities do.

In 2021 SICE began work on a similar project, in this case for the Salou City Council, aimed at providing service to visitors, managing the municipality's tourist resources.

The comprehensive management of these projects is complemented by the continuous service that SICE offers its clients. In addition to designing and installing the systems, it operates and maintains them over time. In this way, the company provides its customers with a turnkey solution.

In recent years,

a new line of work has also emerged: connected infrastructure (I2V). Vehicles that communicate with traffic lights and vice versa resulting in systems capable of warning the driver of the presence of a pedestrian in a crossing when turning the street, for example. A new model of assisted driving is already in operation in cities such as Segovia or Talavera de la Reina thanks to the intersectoral collaboration of SICE, telecommunications companies, manufacturers of vehicles, onboard devices and of course to the great commitment of both municipalities.

I2V projects that, little by little, is moving towards more complex situations, such as the Cereixal Tunnel, in Lugo, the first with the ability to connect to vehicles thanks to 5G communications. The system can monitor the status of the tunnel and generate information that is sent to the infrastructure managers for them to view, analyse, and issue alerts and warnings to the vehicles that circulate through the tunnel.
