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
Asset Monitoring, at the Speed of Light
In today’s world, everything goes fast, so should your asset monitoring system!You expect a timely and regular data from your connected devices? You need your platform to allow constant reporting for all your sensors? You want to configure and update your critical assets over-the-air without disrupting the system for days? Speed is essential!
“One thing that was brought to our attention, that to be honest had never been anything special for us in the past, is the response speed of our network.”
In all recent live demonstrations (because this is what we always do: LIVE demos using real deployments), people would very often comment on the impressive speed at which the information comes back when requesting data from or sending a command to a device in the field. For us it was just a normal behavior, but we quickly realized that for anyone who had either acquired or that were presented a demo from another system, this was very unusual.
Higher communication speed allows:
- to get real live status and energy monitoring data of all assets updated in a timely fashion,
- to get any abnormal situation reported faster,
- to get any configuration changes deployed much faster.
It also allows for a system to be upgraded (either for an issue that was discovered or to add new functionalities) in just a few hours (not days or months…)
To get a sense of what we really mean when we talk about speed, take a look at these 2 demo videos. The lighting control platform can report on-demand streetlights metering (KWH, KVAH, Lamp Burn Time, Current, Voltage, Power…).

We encourage you to book some time with us for a quick demonstration, we promise that it will be time well invested:
