Telefónica Tech incorporates AI in the remote management of luminaires

The technology company Telefónica Tech has integrated the capabilities of its Smart Steps platform into the smart lighting solution, which allows remote management of the luminaires in real time taking into account the information of each streetlight, collected with sensors with NB-IoT connectivity.

Telefónica Tech, the digital business unit of Telefónica, has incorporated a new layer of artificial intelligence to your solution smart outdoor lighting. This will allow municipalities to adapt lighting profiles to the real needs of cities and achieve energy savings of up to 30%.

The technology company has integrated the capabilities of its platform Smart Steps in the smart lighting solution, which allows remote management of the luminaires in real time taking into account the information of each streetlight, collected with sensors with NB-IoT connectivity.

Thanks to artificial intelligence and analysis of mobility insights of the area, points of interest and weather conditions, The power to which each streetlight is adjusted can be adapted to the real demand of each location.

Smart Steps is the mobility analysis platform developed by Telefónica Tech that uses artificial intelligence and advanced analysis to process data related to crowd behavior in an anonymized manner, categorized, extrapolated and aggregated from millions of mobile lines. With this platform, Patterns are obtained that are key so that public administrations and private companies can make more informed decisions and plan urban infrastructures and services more efficiently in the face of special events that can alter behavior in cities..

Telefónica Tech's intelligent outdoor lighting solution contributes to reducing light pollution by providing valuable information to more efficiently control the turning on and off of each luminaire, light profiles, its energy and power. Besides, Enables early identification of failures so that preventive or predictive maintenance can be carried out, thereby optimizing travel and reducing up to a 20% the cost of operation and maintenance.

He crowd mobility analysis of the Smart Steps platform allows, besides, understand how to adapt the lighting levels of each area when there is a special event or a point of interest, taking as reference the statistical data of movements that occurred during the celebration of the event the previous year and taking into account the meteorological data, to be able to develop a public lighting plan that meets the needs of citizens.

“We continue to innovate to offer customers the most complete solutions on the market with which to improve the lives of citizens and achieve a positive impact on the environment.. Our smart outdoor lighting solution, now enhanced with mobility insights from our Smart Steps platform, “It allows us to recommend the most appropriate lighting profile for real circumstances and continue working on the development of more efficient and sustainable smart cities.”, explains Alfredo Serret, global director of IoT at Telefónica Tech.

The comprehensive intelligent outdoor lighting solution has been previously tested in The ThinX, the Telefónica Tech IoT laboratory, where clients, partners and institutions discover the latest technologies and participate in the development and co-creation of any IoT project before its massive deployment.
