USEDA is combining its long-standing expertise
with new technologies to make everyday life
easier for municipalities, by providing them
with simple, cost-effective management tools
in a complex energy context. The result is
USEDAROC, a web-based platform for remote
management of public lighting.
The use of street lighting varies according to
time and need. Furthermore, it‘s sometimes
necessary for them to be on all night, especially
during events. “Taking advantage of this service
with today‘s connected solutions facilitates
programmed management from a computer,
tablet or my smartphone. I can program my
town’s street lighting on specific dates, but
also at any time and from anywhere in case of © Distech Controls

BACnet/IP ECLYPSE™ controller: a
well-considered choice
In consultation with integrator Dumortier, USEDA
chose the Distech Controls solution to meet
its specifications. This choice was motivated
by Distech Controls‘ multi-protocol hardware
(BACnet, Modbus, API...), which allows great
flexibility. Developed to be future-proof and
scalable, the Distech Controls solution is renowned
for its openness. As part of the USEDAROC
project, ECLYPSE controllers communicate
directly with the energy meter, saving time and
ensuring reliability.
In addition to control, the USEDAROC platform
offers visibility over energy consumption, notably
through an energy savings simulator, an EcoWatt
alert and an interactive map. In terms of security, © Distech Controls

The main module developed for this project
supports the remote management of public
lighting. Other modules linked to energy
consumption are currently being deployed, such
as heating, water level monitoring, dumpster
monitoring, remote surveillance and billing
tracking.
The integrator is equally satisfied: “As a very small
company, we‘re delighted with Distech Controls‘
support for this project, including its technical
side, sales support and logistics. There were no
supply delays. This was a large-scale project for
