Case Study: RAB Lighting achieves smarter, more efficient lighting connectivity with Digi International's XBee modules

RAB Lighting cuts energy costs by 80% with Digi

RAB Lighting sought to revolutionize the lighting industry with its Lightcloud smart lighting platform, requiring a robust, low-power wireless connectivity solution that could be easily integrated into fixtures for rugged environments. They partnered with vendor Digi International, selecting the Digi XBee 3 Zigbee module for its compact design and built-in security.

The solution from Digi International provided the essential connectivity, enabling a wireless Zigbee network of controllers and sensors that connected to a cloud gateway. This allowed RAB Lighting's customers to achieve granular control and significant energy savings. Results included customers reducing energy costs by 60-80% with rapid payback; one university saved 82% on lighting, projecting $286,000 in lifetime savings, while a convention center saw a 93% energy cost reduction.
