For 3 months, Sibelga in collaboration with Schréder, carried out an innovative smart lighting project in Bois de la Cambre, Brussels. From 1st February 1 to 29th April, the light output of 72 luminaires was no longer adapted to a predefined schedule but on data collected in real time. This data was not captured by sensors installed on the luminaires but through online databases on the Internet.

Schréder is committed to delivering the best service to its customers and to accompany them on every step of their smart lighting journey. As such, Schréder is delighted to announce the launch of Schréder EXEDRA, a brand new IoT platform for smart lighting and smart cities, to deliver the best value to its customers worldwide.

Schréder launches 2 new digital experiences to enable customers to engage in the design of their own FLEXIA platform and visualise how it could transform their urban landscape. At any time of day and from anywhere, this cutting-edge technology allows them to fully customise their lighting solution before making their final choice.

At Schréder, we are committed to enabling cities to develop open, interoperable and FutureProof digital networks that deliver citizen-centric services and significant benefits for communities. We are delighted to announce that the latest additions to our range of luminaires - IZYLUM and FLEXIA - are Zhaga-D4i certified.
