Challenges Elumia solves

  • Operational inefficiencies: Insufficient data for lamp fault detection leads to high costs and delays due to manual inspections.
  • Limited visibility and inefficient maintenance: Verifying citizen reports is time-consuming and costly without digital tools.
  • Data blindspot: Lack of reliable and daily updated data hinders proactive maintenance and performance optimization. You can’t see the full picture of your lighting infrastructure’s health.
  • Hidden costs: Conventional monitoring often overlooks energy theft, silently draining operational budgets.
  • Investment constraints: Selecting the right technology, ROI calculations, accompanied by high cost of IoT solutions.
  • Compliance with standards and energy requirements: Elumia’s MID-certified controllers provide reliable data for energy inspection, ensuring compliance with standards.

About Elumia

Elumia complements existing IoT solutions, which typically connect only a small portion of a city’s luminaires—currently, only about 5% of lights are smart. While IoT solutions offer advanced features like real-time individual lamp control, they come with high costs and complex technical components, making it difficult to justify ROI.

Elumia is the ideal solution for covering the remaining 95% of lights. It provides comprehensive operational status monitoring at a significantly lower cost and can easily be upgraded when customers are ready for full IoT integration.

CLSM algorithm

Elumia’s patented CLSM algorithm sequentially activates luminaires and monitors their power consumption.
If a luminaire is functioning properly, its power usage increases upon activation.

If a luminaire is functioning properly, its power usage increases upon activation.

If it is faulty, its power remains unchanged. By analyzing power profiles over time, Elumia can accurately and cost-effectively detect malfunctions.

Elumia benefits

Low investment costs

  • At least 33% TCO savings compared to other IoT solutions.
  • Eliminates the need for additional electronics in each street luminaire.
  • Simplifies street cabinet installation by removing the need for additional components like astroclocks and contactors, requiring only the Elumia controller.

Reduced maintenance costs

  • Automatically detects faulty luminaires, removing the need for site inspections.

Energy monitoring

  • Monitoring of power consumption for each streetlight, per phase, and per street.
  • Messages are sent regarding the issues and malfunctions/breakdowns.
  • Monitoring of street cabinet consumption.
  • Detects any irregular energy usage.
  • Theft detection capabilities.

Dynamic street light operation

  • Automatic on-off schedules based on geographical location and time of year or timetable.
  • Supports external on-off control.

Sustainability

Elumia offers a smarter maintenance approach, eliminating the need for night inspections, digitizing your lighting infrastructure while reducing operational costs and energy consumption.

Other benefits

Solution architecture

Elumia provides a cost-effective and reliable lighting control solution for all types of public lighting. With fewer components, Elumia minimizes the risk of malfunctions, increases reliability, and simplifies operations. The system is vendor-agnostic and ensures smooth, flexible integration.
Its key components include:

LED lights

  • A vendor-agnostic approach. We offer flexibility with a choice of luminaires – from basic models to advanced ZHAGA/D4i types.
  • Optimal efficiency is achieved if the luminaire’s power supply supports initial delay and power control, enabling seamless integration with the CLSM algorithm.
  • For luminaires without this capability, external sequencers is used to introduce necessary delays in the power supply, ensuring compliance with the CLSM algorithm.

Elumia lighting controller

Elumia controllers are based on the Iskraemeco smart IE.X electricity meters, which is MID certified and serves as a dependable data source for energy inspection without the need for additional external devices.

Symbiot Elumia

Symbiot Elumia software suite acts as a central access point for all Elumia lighting controllers. It offers a GIS with graphical representation of luminaire statuses and seamless integration with external software systems. It provides connectivity and security services, data analytics, and user-friendly interface.
