A Strategic Step to Strengthen PcVue Platform Interoperability
[Paris, 14/05/2025] – ARC Informatique is now an associate member of the TALQ Consortium, the international organization that defines the standard communication protocol for smart urban infrastructures. This marks a first step toward integrating the TALQ Smart City protocol into PcVue.
What is the TALQ consortium?
The TALQ Smart City Protocol is a standardized interface (based on a RESTful API) that enables a Central Management System (CMS) to supervise a wide range of connected urban devices, regardless of their brand:
- Smart street lighting
- Environmental sensors
- Charging stations
- Urban mobility systems
- Energy networks, and more
TALQ allows municipalities and system integrators to manage these infrastructures through a unified platform, while avoiding vendor lock-in.
TALQ and PcVue : A Natural Fit
Seamless integration into the PcVue solution
As an open SCADA/IoT platform, PcVue already offers advanced capabilities for multi-protocol connectivity, supervision, and data analysis. By integrating the TALQ protocol, PcVue will strengthen its ability to support multi-vendor Smart City projects.
Benefits for Our Clients and Partners
- Native interoperability: simplified integration of heterogeneous solutions
- Technological flexibility: independence from specific manufacturers
- Centralized supervision: unified control of all urban services
- Standards compliance: system security, longevity, and scalability
- Accelerated deployment: reduced need for custom developments
Application examples
A TALQ-compliant PcVue supervisor could, for instance:
- Provide a consolidated view of energy consumption, technical alarms, and performance indicators—regardless of the equipment supplier
- Centralize the management of public lighting across multiple districts using equipment from different vendors
- Simultaneously supervise air quality sensors, traffic signaling systems, and EV charging stations
A Shared Vision of the Smart City
By joining the TALQ Consortium, ARC Informatique confirms its commitment to an open, sustainable, and interoperable Smart City — where technology evolves freely in service of local communities.
