Siemens, a German multinational and leader in technology, has sealed a strategic alliance with our company Einsmer, dedicated to the production of software, for the joint development of the "M7 Interterritorial Citizen and Urban Security System". It is a company that has made a strong commitment to Intelligent Cities or Smart Cities that are capable of using the
information and communication technologies (ICT) with the aim of creating better infrastructures for citizens, such as cybersecurity and citizen participation or interaction. In short, it is the combination of people and technology to make cities safer.
Both Siemens and Einsmer, located in Cornellà de Llobregat, in the Baix Llobregat have been cooperating since 2018 and the consolidation of the application has accelerated the signing of this agreement to strengthen the possibilities of the ecosystem by integrating access management software, SiPass and the surveillance software, Siveillance, under the highest cybersecurity standards. The primary objective is to consolidate the M7 Citizen Security System and support its expansion.
It is a social and technological engineering originating in Barcelona, whose objective is to create a network of safe territories through rapid communication in terms of citizen and urban security, thanks to Smart technology and "Internet on Things” (IOT), which allows devices, such as telephones, smartphones or cars to be connected, incorporating software and other technologies to connect and exchange data with other devices or with the Internet.

WITH PURPOSE
“The signing of this strategic alliance with Siemens gives us the support and strength of a century-old company that develops cutting-edge technology in the industrial and smart infrastructures field. It can be incorporated into everyday life to create safer environments”.
José Antonio Gallego Soto, CEO and Director of Innovation at Einsmer.
“The integration of our infrastructure security portfolio is scalable for cities, making them smarter and safer. Partnerships like this with innovative companies such as Einsmer demonstrate our commitment to the development of Spain, where Siemens arrived 126 years ago”.
Fernando Silva, CEO of Siemens Smart Infrastructure for Spain and Portugal.
Since 2013, Einsmer has been developing a two-way communication system between citizens and the network of participating local administrations from the origin of the application for smartphones (Android, iOS and also with a desktop version), aimed at cooperation between citizens, security forces and local administration. Einsmer currently includes 17 municipalities in the Barcelona area, creating an ecosystem of networked cities made up of more than 130,000 users and 3,500 infrastructures.

It involves the use of different applications created to be used on different devices and deployed throughout the city. As an example, the M7 App for Smartphones is a simple, intuitive and fast application that will allow us to immediately contact the corresponding security force to report any emergency, incident, move around a territory with greater security or be informed of any event -local or inter-territorial- that may be of interest to us at any time. The project facilitates communication between citizens and their local administration through the proximity police -Guàrdia Urbana and Municipal Police-, thanks to the creation of a powerful inter-territorial network.
