Software AG has partnered up with Huawei to showcase how cities can become safer, better places to live, and while reducing their energy costs and increasing sustainability through their street lights, which represent a major part of a cities electricity usage and budget. Street lights are represented by smart lights and connected to a Huawei Gateway, through which the analytical engine of the Software AG Digital Business Platform runs predictive maintenance algorithms. The operator’s dashboard feeds him information on the exact local situation. For example, if lights run out of power, or glitches begin to appear, it is recognized by the analytical engine and automatic work orders are dispatched while the lights are switched to power saving mode to extend the life of the lights for as long as possible. This gives the technicians enough time to replace the faulty lights. Software AG’s Smart Lighting, is a lighting technology designed for energy efficiency. This may include high efficiency fixtures and automated controls that make adjustments based on conditions such as occupancy or daylight availability. It includes task lighting, accent lighting, and general lighting.

In today’s world, most organizations are open to the idea of digital transformation. Moving from analogue to digital, while using digital technologies to change the entire business model and provide new sources of revenue, is becoming a vital step for companies, as developments in innovation and technology continue to increase.
