July 2015: Smart city is an ecosystem of services built on ‘Smart and Intelligent’ solutions & technology. It calls for an integrated approach driving and fostering convergence in the smart city space among product suppliers, networking companies & system integrators. This clearly implies that the lighting industry has to move from a product selling mode to a solution selling one. LED’s already are shaping the contours of the lighting industry and coupled with control products, they offer an excellent choice to make the city lighting smarter by controlling the street light infrastructure through a central platform. With LED streetlights installed in many cities, there is no end to the possibilities these cities can now offer their citizens free Wi-Fi, access USBs to charge phones, CCTV surveillance or loudspeakers as part of a full integrated solution where lighting being one of the components. Overall, Smart lighting for the Smart city can ensure an enhanced safety & well-being for its residents besides saving on energy costs.
Although some of the benefits of connected street lighting might still sound futuristic, the technology has already been created. Schréder’s newly launched Shuffle system has been designed to make people feel connected with the living spaces. This modern interface creates added value for outdoor living spaces. With integrated features such as loudspeakers, CCTV, WLAN, EV chargers and visual guidance, the Shuffle goes far beyond professional lighting. It creates the best conditions to make people truly feel at home in public areas. The safety, comfort and the sense of well-being provided by the Shuffle invites people to enjoy public areas both by day and by night. By creating better living spaces, the Shuffle encourages social interactions. Thanks to a smart design, the Shuffle is an affordable, complete solution that requires very low maintenance. Providing multiple requirements in a single column minimizes the material needed in spaces and lowers the carbon footprint of an installation.
The Shuffle combines state-of-the art LED lighting technology and a wide range of photometries (from intensive to extensive, symmetrical and asymmetrical, with or without a back light control system) adapted to various applications such as roads, streets, squares, pedestrian crossings, footpaths and architectural lighting. This exceptional flexibility is possible thanks to the use of three types of photometric engines developed by Schréder – LensoFlex®2, reflectors and collimators (spot) – and multiple driving currents to meet the requirements of diverse applications. The high efficiency of the Shuffle can be further extended with numerous control options such as smart drivers, sensors and remote management.
Taking advantage of a unique energy supply grid to deploy multiple services, the Shuffle gathers all features together in one single pole. One main pole, one to five modules with eventually a spacer between two of them. With easy fixations, rotatable modules and Plug-in connections, the Shuffle is a very handy and flexible tool. All the modules are delivered pre-wired. Quick connectors and a fool-proof mounting system guarantee a very easy and quick onsite installation. The cabling – whether it concerns the power supply, internet connection, sound or another integrated option – arrives in a dedicated box at the bottom of the pole. Access to the fuses, mains and dedicated connections can be gained by opening a door. This smart design means that the modules do not need to be opened and speeds up the installation process.
The Shuffle is an affordable, complete solution that requires very low maintenance. Providing multiple requirements in a single column minimizes the material needed in spaces and lowers the carbon footprint of an installation. The Shuffle can help cities and privately-owned sites achieve their goals by providing a range of services to benefit municipalities, urban planners, site managers, service providers and residents. It’s just one example of how new technology can help create smart cities that the rest of the world will envy. The technology is available, now it’s all about implementation and rolling out the plan.
