The Solution
Softdel developed a comprehensive power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled intelligent lighting solution. The solution included sensor integration and gateway firmware development, a lighting control application with embedded intelligence, and an operating system independent API module development for third party integrations, with support for load balancing. A cloud-based (Azure) platform was provided that offered in-depth analytics and a user-friendly dashboard. The solution also included an application for system configuration and commissioning, integration with Cisco EnergyWise, and a mobile application to control the smart lighting solution. Softdel integrated the highly secure PoE standard with BACnet protocol for effortless interoperability with building management systems (BMS). A network engine module was developed to provide the customer with better network health status. The solution was further enhanced by adding automation controls, mode controls, and task-oriented controls, along with advanced lighting functionalities for a more personalised experience.
Operational Impact
  • The integrated solution equipped the customer's lighting system with predictive and preventive maintenance capabilities, fostering better real-time reporting and optimising costs. The solution combines the latest industry standards with embedded intelligence to create a secure infrastructure for the customer’s smart lighting solution. Powered by BACnet and PoE-reliant technology, the solution effectively provides solutions for monitoring daylight, humidity, air quality, energy consumption, etc., thus enabling better energy cost savings for the customer. Softdel’s smart lighting environment ensures that the customer has access to controlled and comfortable natural light, which consequently enhances overall wellbeing, promotes learning, and sharpens concentration.
