Mayrise system pinpoints faulty street lights with Telensa remote monitoring

Mayrise Systems has integrated its street lighting management and mapping systems to a wireless monitoring system that automatically pinpoints faulty street lights. Using remote control and monitoring technology developed by Telensa, data on faulty lamps is transmitted by radio telemetry and matched to street light inventory details held within the MAYRISE Street Lighting Management System.

MAYRISE compiles other fault reports from patrols and the public and automatically pinpoints fault locations on a map using MapNow, the MAYRISE-integrated mapping system. This allows engineers to quickly respond to emergencies and improve maintenance scheduling. In addition, live updates from MAYRISE allow customer service centres and websites to be kept right up to date.

“This development is a very significant for the street lighting sector. There has always been much interest in remote monitoring and fault detection and now Telensa has produced a system that is proving to be a great success with existing MAYRISE system users who are amongst the first adopters,” says Mark Clarke, Managing Director of Mayrise Systems.

The Telensa system, as well as fault detection, gathers power consumption and other electrical information allowing energy consumption to be accurately measured. Each light is fitted with a radio device called a Telecell that communicates with a central site allowing individual or group control. Designed for local or wide area deployment, the system is capable of managing many thousands of lighting units at the same time.

“By integrating with MAYRISE, street lighting managers can manage all fault reports through a single system. Telensa provides huge potential for improving street lighting through the smarter use of lights. Coupled with MAYRISE very significant savings can be made through improved asset management, better maintenance management and reduced energy consumption.” Comments Will Gibson, Director of Telensa.
