The SCMS platform won two prestigious smart city awards for its pivotal role in the Ville de Laval smart lighting and dynamic signage panels project
Illuminate Your Multi-Story Infrastructure the Smart Way
In the previous article, we discussed how to better manage today’s issues with technology. Now let’s see more specifically how using an all-in-one interconnected platform allows for better infrastructure management, improved security for everyone and reduced energy consumptions.
More and more commercial building managers and systems integrators are starting to benefit from modern interconnected solutions, both for the management of outdoor infrastructures as well as for indoor environments.
Smart lighting management is becoming an increasingly frequent requirement in new construction or retrofit projects of buildings such as multi story parking lots. To meet this need, a set of functions allowing lighting management by floor has been added to our Dimonoff | SCMS management platform.
Indeed, the new Dimonoff | SCMS version 20 allows floor plans of buildings and multi story parking lots to be added directly within the business units, in order to position and control the lights on each floor.
Like street lights remotely controlled according to different schedules and scenarios, the lights of commercial buildings can now be managed remotely according to dimming needs through predetermined and customizable schedules or using motions sensors.
Sky Harbor Airport in the city of Phoenix in the United States is already using this new Dimonoff | SCMS feature. The vertical management of the lighting layers, coupled with the use of motion sensors, saves energy when some areas of the building are not used or not very busy.
Users of Dimonoff | SCMS version 20 have now access to two new key features related to floor lighting management:
- Navigating through the different floors, viewing them and adapting the lighting scenarios according to the natural brightness,
- No limit in the number of floors, underground or above ground,
- Adapting the advanced search tool to quickly identify the nodes on the map.
- Management of many types of sensors from different suppliers (e.g. snow or water level sensors, motion detection, digital displays, sound recognition, etc.),
- Parallel management of several communication protocols allowing the capture of data from different types of sensors,
- Real-time information on the state of the connected infrastructures in order to offer more efficient services, to report automatically and to facilitate strategic decision-making.
