BEKA Schréder is proud to introduce Schréder EXEDRA: the most advanced lighting management system on the market, paving the way for future applications in a smarter city.
Artificial lighting has been a part of our lives for a very long time. Over the years, lighting technology has been developed to continually enhance performance. Schréder EXEDRA is a remote control platform for intelligent street lighting. It relies on shared and open technologies for seamless vertical and horizontal IoT integrations and offers a new layer of tangible benefits that maximise the return on investment and create new opportunities for cities.
Cities aiming to adopt a smart strategy require customised solutions to start their journey. Schréder EXEDRA provides endless opportunities to enhance neighbourhoods and communities by deploying suitable solutions in the right locations. It is an ideal tool to align value with short- and medium-term goals while maintaining a long-term vision.
Key advantages of Schréder EXEDRA include:
- Technology-agnostic: Schréder EXEDRA uses open standards and protocols to enable seamless integration with third-party software and hardware solutions. Unlike proprietary systems, Schréder EXEDRA is designed to unlock complete interoperability.
- Plug-and-play: When the node or sensor is connected to the luminaire, an intelligent automated commissioning process recognises, verifies, and retrieves luminaire data into the user interface. The self-healing mesh between the luminaire controllers allows for real-time adaptive lighting to be configured directly within the user interface.
- Adaptive user interface: Schréder EXEDRA offers fully customisable dashboards. Add, move, resize and organise widgets in the web user interface to create your personal dashboards.
- Data for decisions: Schréder EXEDRA collects massive amounts of data from end devices and aggregates, analyses, and intuitively displays it to help end-users take the right actions. With this advanced data presented both visually and in reports, Schréder EXEDRA is a powerful tool for efficiency, rationalisation, and decision-making.
It is widely agreed that smart street lighting serves as the foundation for smart cities. Luminaires are widespread throughout the city, evenly spaced along streets, installed at an optimal height for wireless communication, and connected to the power grid. Cities will increasingly depend on street lighting to create additional value beyond mere illumination.
Over time, depending on their strategy and priorities, managers will consider converting their smart lighting scheme into a proper smart city infrastructure. Investing in a flexible and future-proof solution is essential for success in this next step.
Schréder’s Smart City Centre of Excellence, Hyperion, has created Schréder EXEDRA as the perfect platform to develop open, interoperable, and resilient IoT ecosystems and support smart cities in the future.
