🏙️ Compact City and smart street lighting: a case study

We see how Compact Cities are important for urban sustainability with a case study of one of our clients.

Compact cities represent the future of sustainable urban planning as they focus on higher housing density, more efficient mobility and rational use of resources. In this context, street lighting plays a key role.

Compact Cities require advanced technological solutions to optimize the management of urban services and reduce environmental impact. Public lighting, in particular, represents an area of great potential for energy efficiency and emission reduction.

Thanks to IoT and data analytics, it is possible to create smart lighting systems that can monitor the status of installations in real time, detect any faults, and optimize energy consumption, thus reducing operating costs.

One of our clients chose to embrace this vision, implementing an innovative public lighting management system based on our IoT platform OnSystem: this company relied on our Ecosystem to manage various public lighting networks.

Our two solutions are based on centralized control systems, where the OnSystem IoT platform fully manages data collection, analysis, and monitoring, and on point-to-point control, where data is collected by the IoT platform and then transferred to Wi4B for deeper analysis.

The project is based on a combination of cutting-edge technologies:

• SENECA Z-LTE devices: these devices play a key role in data collection and transmission.

• OnSystem IoT platform: our IoT platform enables the collection, processing and visualization of data from the devices, providing a complete view of the state of the system.

• MQTT protocol: this lightweight and flexible protocol ensures efficient communication between devices and the platform.

• Wi4B Plugin: allows integration with the Wi4B cloud platform for more advanced data management.

The benefits achieved are manifold:

• Energy savings and sustainability: thanks to intelligent management of switch-on and switch-off times, our IoT platform makes it possible to significantly reduce energy consumption, lowering costs and reducing environmental impact.

• Reliability and predictive maintenance: by constantly monitoring the status of the systems, OnSystem allows for early detection of any faults, ensuring efficient street lighting service at all times and reducing intervention time.

• Integration with CareSystem software: our OnSystem IoT platform is designed to integrate with another software of ours, CareSystem, which enables maintenance management and tracking.

This case study demonstrates how IoT and data analytics can transform public lighting management, making it more efficient, sustainable and reliable. With solutions such as OnSystem's IoT software, cities can become increasingly smart and connected, improving citizens' quality of life and contributing to the ecological transition.
