Case Study: Schréder reduces city lighting energy and maintenance costs with Digi International IoT connectivity

Schréder saves cities up to 85% on lighting energy costs with Digi

Schréder, through its brand Owlet Nightshift, faced the challenge of helping municipalities manage antiquated and inefficient outdoor lighting systems that consumed up to 40% of a city's energy budget and required costly maintenance. Partnering with Digi International, they needed a reliable and scalable wireless IoT solution to create an intelligent lighting system.

Using Digi's connectivity hardware, including Digi XBee ZigBee modules and ConnectPort X4 gateways, Schréder built the Owlet Nightshift solution. This enabled remote monitoring and control of lights, adaptive dimming, and proactive fault reporting. Digi's implementation helped cities achieve energy savings of up to 85% and a combined reduction in energy and maintenance costs of up to 90%, while also extending equipment life and reducing CO2 emissions.
