Modernizing lighting is no longer enough.

This shopping center was looking for total control, efficiency and energy visibility in three floors of parking lots.

What no single technology could solve on its own, Casambi, Adquio SCADA and Adquio PowerTrace did together.

The challenge: efficiency, control and real data

The technical manager of the complex needed a comprehensive solution that went beyond a simple switch to LED:

  • Presence sensors that adjust the light by zones.

  • Simultaneous manual control for operations, safety and maintenance.

  • Centralized monitoring to visualize the status of each group of luminaires.

  • Fault detection by luminaire (what, when and where).

  • Real-time power per point and consumption (kWh) per group and plant, withdaily, weekly, monthly and annual comparisons.

After evaluating several technologies, none met 100% of the requirements…
Until the Casambi + Adquio SCADA Server + PowerTrace combination came into play.

Why other options did not work

The options on the market offered pieces of the puzzle, but not the complete set:

  • Some automated, but did not allow simultaneous manual control without conflict.

  • Others controlled, but without reliable energy telemetry or comparisons by plant or period.

  • And those that measured energy required physical meters and additional wiring.

The conclusion was clear: an architecture was needed that would unite control, operation and energy in a single ecosystem.

The solution that DOES fit

Acuerdo final Casambi,Adquio

1️⃣ Casambi - Robust wireless lighting for parking lots

  • BLE mesh network with groups, scenes and presence sensors.
  • App and push buttons for manual control with well-managed priorities.
  • Light adjustment by zones (ramps, corridors, accesses, exits and living areas).

✅ Result: granular control, flexible and without works.

2️⃣ Adquio SCADA Server (local) - Professional and traceable operation

  • Centralized monitoring with synoptic and luminaire maps.
  • Roles and auditing: every action is recorded.
  • Configurable alarms for luminaire failures, communications and anomalies.
  • Historical records for maintenance and regulatory compliance.

Result: total control from a technical room, with security and traceability.

3️⃣ Adquio PowerTrace - Energy without physical meters

  • Calculates power and consumption (kWh) directly from Casambi events.
  • Allows full granularity: luminaire → group → floor → complete parking lot.
  • Configurable KPIs: energy (kWh), operating cost, peak power, hourly usage and comparisons by period.

✅ Result: reliable energy telemetry and dashboards without additional hardware.

High-level architecture

The solution is articulated in four complementary layers:

  • Field (Casambi): manages BLE control and sensorization, adjusting light and presence by zones.
  • Operation (Adquio SCADA local): centralizes monitoring, alarms and manual control from a single interface.
  • Analytics (PowerTrace): calculates power and consumption (kWh), generating dashboards and reports without additional hardware.
  • Security (Adquio Ecosystem): guarantees full traceability and secure communications, without VPN or open ports.

An integrated architecture that combines control, operation, analysis and security with efficiency and reliability.

What changes for the customer

  • 🔒 Safety and operation

    Light available when and where it is needed (presence + levels).
    Immediate manual control for incidents, cleaning or events.

    ⚙️ Maintenance and efficiency

    Fault detection per luminaire with exact location.
    Measurable savings: kWh and cost per group, plant or period.

    📊 Decisions with data

    Benchmark between plants, time comparisons and energy KPIs.
    Rapid deployment without the need for physical meters.

Adquio PowerTrace for Casambi

Lessons learned

  • Casambi, alone, does not deliver the energy telemetry or the central operation requesting management.
  • SCADA, without PowerTrace, does not quantify kWh/€ per group/plant/period without extra hardware.
  • The unbeatable proposal in parking lots is the package: Casambi + Adquio local SCADA + Adquio PowerTrace.
  • Differentiate yourself by selling complete value: control + operation + energy, with demonstrable ROI from the pilot.

Conclusion: from LED to data

  • Hourly use by zone and scene.
  • kWh/€ per group, plant and period.
  • Peak power and utilization factor.
  • Alerts: after hours and “maximum for safety”.
  • Ranking between plants and gap vs. baseline.
