Interact City in use with our customers

Save up to 75% on energy costs with intelligent dimming

With the Interact City lighting management system, you can go one step further to maximize your energy savings. By dimming your lighting sensibly, you can reduce your energy costs by up to 75%. Lighting control with Interact City adapts flexibly to the requirements of your city or municipality and allows you to adjust the lighting intensity as required.

Articles on saving energy with lighting

We have saved over 50% energy since the start of the refurbishment in 2016 - not only by dimming but also because LEDs have a better light yield.

Stefan Wernli, Thalheim Electricity Supply Commission

Turn a 5000lm light into a 4000lm light at the touch of a button

 

With the new "Virtual Light Output" function - VLO for short - you not only save additional energy, but also reduce the variety of your luminaires.

In concrete terms, this means: With VLO, you can turn a 5000lm luminaire into a 4000lm luminaire via Interact City without having to replace the hardware on site.

Advantages of VLO

Easy configuration
Optimized stock keeping - fewer luminaire types
Backwards compatible for all luminaires
Function also open for luminaires from other suppliers

With the VLO, we can standardize the luminaires and their lumen packages. Instead of creating a large number of dimming calendars to guarantee the necessary light levels, we can now adjust the basic light levels and reduce the number of dimming calendars to a minimum.

Connection to third-party systems such as Inventsys

The future of digital systems lies in the integration and interaction of the various systems used by public lighting operators. For lighting control systems such as Interact City, for example, this means connecting to resource management systems such as Inventsys.

More about Inventsys

With the new API interface, you can now seamlessly import data from Interact City into Inventsys. You benefit from this in three ways:

  • no additional effort required to map your luminaire data in the resource management system
  • eliminates errors thanks to automatic data synchronization
  • simplifies processes

The combination of Interact City and Inventsys creates synergies between lighting management and resource management. It enables you to use your resources efficiently and to plan and maintain your lighting systems optimally. The integration of the two systems helps you to optimize your operational processes and ensure a sustainable lighting solution for cities and municipalities.

At our Schöftland site, all the luminaires are networked. By using Interact City and Inventsys, we save up to 75% of energy and maintenance costs.
