The concept of a smart city is incomplete if such an approach does not include a set of ecological measures, such as automation, e-mobility or security, believes Cătălin Lepinzean, Business Development Manager at Phoenix Contact Romania.

“When we talk about smart cities we have to include building automation, solutions for transport infrastructure and cyber security,” said Lepinzean, during the “Sustainable Communities – Timișoara” conference, organized by Energynomics and SmartiCity.

Phoenix Contact develops and manufactures equipment and technologies for the electrical and electronic industry for powering, protecting, connecting and automating systems.

“We are very involved in the digital future of factories. More and more, we are implementing a path to zero-emission factories,” added Lepinzean.
