Utilities – Public Lighting

Leading utility suppliers are adopting a mission to enable a greener and more sustainable society. 

One of our clients, a large utility company, undertook a proof of concept of smart lighting systems with the long-term aim to drastically reduce CO2 emissions from public lighting by installing intelligent lighting systems. The potential gains identified were significant, given that public lighting is responsible for approximately 35% of total CO2 emissions in partner countries. 

Challenge

Integration of existing infrastructure, with a number of different suppliers, each with their own protocols, in order to centralise management of smart lighting infrastructure in a secure manner.

Solution

Klarrio built a centralised secure platform to remotely and automatically manage existing lighting infrastructure, integrating a range of lighting vendors and their respective protocols. Several new and innovative intelligent lighting use-cases were created, based on cross-domain data sources. For example, ANPR (automatic number-plate recognition) camera events trigger overrides of dim light levels, with lights that will dim when a street is empty, but will light up if occupied, saving energy, as well as creating safer cities.
