A new era in street lighting, Vizion Central Management System (CMS) provides you with a complete street lighting solution. Vizion CMS is a web-based system that gives you total control over your entire Vizion controlled street lighting network from your computer. It also provides you with a range of in-depth management information about the status and efficiency of each individual street light. Vizion provides an extremely accurate control, monitoring and reporting regime covering fault identification, lamp status, performance data and predictive maintenance.

Vizion Central Management System (CMS) provides an infrastructure to allow for the remote monitoring and control of the streetlighting inventory. This is provided by the installation of a communication network, and equipment within each asset to provide this monitoring and control. The data to, and from the system is controlled by a database server (called a Vizion Host) acting to provide this monitoring and control.
A Vizion CMS system provides four fundamental functions:
1. control of switching regimes2. monitoring of the status of the Streetlighting infrastructure
3. flexible asset status reporting
4. concise reporting of energy consumption.
A Vizion CMS system provides five fundamental benefits
1. Control of costs2. Plan for uncertainty of tomorrow
3. Reduce your CO2 emissions
4. Addresses Interoperability concerns
5. Certainty of Asset Status
These translate into innumerable individual benefits:
• Provides convincing cost-benefit• Accelerates Management & control of Streetlighting Infrastructure
• Reduces CO2 emissions from maintenance vehicles
• Reduces CO2 emissions resulting from electricity generation
• Enables Immediate knowledge & control of actual energy usage
• Enables highly specialised switching regimes to be adopted
• Enables dimming to be practically adopted
• Allows for dynamic change to operating environment
• Easy & Quick to amend control
• Highly scalable
• Easy to retrofit
• Easy to rapid deploy (roll-out)
• Inventory performance highly visible
• Interoperable
Existing control regimes are inflexible and it is both expensive and slow to implement new regimes. To change a switching level (say from 70Lux to 55Lux) would require all photocells to be replaced, incurring both the cost of the replacement photocells, and the labour cost of undertaking the change. This forms both an impediment to undertaking changes in the control regime, and restricts the rate at which a change can be made.
In stark contrast CMS allows for the rapid deployment of alternative regimes. The cost of deployment is very low, for example a revision to a multi-stage part-night dimming regime could be implemented in a few minutes and deployed to all streetlights within a few hours.
The drive for CMS is not the ability to exercise complex control, but to use advanced control to reduce energy consumption. A further aspect is that a CMS installation provides luminaire status information allowing very accurate determination of the maintenance requirements.
