March 2017
Context
The city of Montréal, QC (Canada) needed to convert its aging HPS fixtures to LED fixtures which require less energy and have a higher life expectancy.
Needs
On top of this modernization need, the city’s lighting infrastructure at the time did not allow remote management. The streetlights were equipped with simple controllers that used a photocell or an astronomical clock to turn them on or off.The whole infrastructure was obsolete and needed improvements that could accommodate new capabilities such as inventory management, maintenance management and telemetry.
More Than Just a Smart Lighting Project
Montreal has been actively converting its more than 132 000 fixtures from HPS to LEDs distributed through 19 boroughs. Among this number, 85 000 streetlights are cobra head and the remaining 47 000 are decorative lights. To manage all these new smart lighting fixtures, the city adopted Dimonoff | SCMS. Whether they are equipped with RME external nodes or RTM internal nodes in the case of the decorative fixtures, no matter the brand of fixture, every street light will be remotely managed and diagnosed using a single platform. Montreal’s streetlights can now be centrally managed.
Dimonoff | SCMS maps the city’s connected assets and devices and instantly detects their state of operation, allowing failures, power outages and other anomalies to be detected and efficiently resolved. The city can adjust the brightness of part or all of its street lights and measure the change in electricity consumption in real time.
The Main Benefits of the Project
- Real-time monitoring of lighting performance 24/7
- Real-time energy consumption
- Systematic up-to-date equipment and operations inventory
- Alarms triggered when failures or service errors or interruption occur
- Customizable lighting control scenarios: events, traffic density, commercial street security, city operations, construction sites, etc.
- Optimization of maintenance planning
- Secured control and management responsibilities of other applications connected to the smart lighting network
