Public and port lighting

Intelligent Street Lighting

Smart street lighting for municipalities and ports: less energy, faster repairs, one screen

Street lights that report their own faults before a resident calls, and dim by the hour to save energy and maintenance costs. We connect street and port lighting to one control screen, with every fault on the map and energy measured by area.

The problem

Fixed timers, late repairs, hidden costs

Much public lighting still runs on fixed timers at full power, whether a street is busy or empty. A failed light is often found only when a resident calls it in, and crews lose time locating it. And because lights are rarely matched to the supply pillars, the street cabinets that feed them, nobody knows what each street really costs.

  • Faults stay unseen until someone complains.
  • No single map of the poles and supply pillars.
  • Energy is billed, but not measured where it is used.

Industry context

Up to 60%

Public lighting accounts for up to 60% of a typical municipality’s electricity costs.

Outcomes

What you gain

Four things a lighting department notices first: the crews, the energy bill, the records and the reports.

  • Faults found before residents call

    Failures appear on the map with their location, so crews go straight to the right place instead of patrolling for dark streets, and every fault is logged.

  • Lower energy use, street by street

    With LED lights and central control, each street gets light only where and when it needs it, at the right level.

  • A network on record

    Every pole and supply pillar on one map with its details, so any crew finds what it needs.

  • Energy and CO2 you can report

    Energy and CO2 by area, by day and by month, ready for your reports.

Industry context

Almost 46%

Lights that dim automatically with sensors use almost 46% less energy than the same installation left undimmed.

What we automate

Everything a lighting network needs, on one system

Street and port lighting first, then the city devices around them, built for your network.

  • Street lighting control

    Switch, dim and schedule lights by street or area, from one screen.
  • Fault alarms on the map

    Crews go straight to the fault, because it shows on the map with its location.
  • Dimming schedules

    A busy summer and a quiet winter each get the light they need, street by street.
  • Port and building lighting

    Pole lights and building lights across a port, switched from one control screen, building by building.
  • Energy and CO2 metering

    Energy and CO2 by area, by day and by month, ready for your reports.
  • Poles and smart devices

    Poles that carry more than a light, on the same control screens as the street lighting.
  • Crossings and traffic signals

    Pedestrian crossings and junction signals, reporting to the same control screens as the lights.
  • Every asset on a map

    Every pole and supply pillar on a map with its details, so the network is easy to maintain.
