The Minos system revolutionizes street lighting management by enabling remote control, diagnostics, and energy savings through power line communication. It transforms lampposts into smart infrastructure supporting services like video surveillance, parking management, and smart traffic control, all while reducing light pollution. The system's user-friendly software ensures real-time monitoring and maintenance, allowing cities to enhance safety, sustainability, and connectivity.

2. Not just light,
the city becomes smart
Remote management on each lighting point, energy saving,
integrated services for the Smart City. The system that revolution-
izes the management and use of outdoor and street lighting grids.
Thanks to the patented technique to recognize the lamp
faults and the installation of the PLC module in series on
the power supply network, Minos System allows the con-
stant remote control of every single lighting point of the
plants. Through this innovative and unique system, we can
have a precise diagnosis about all the lamp faults and to
know all the lamp functioning status.
The use of the PLC transmission (Power Line Communica-
tion) enables you to communicate with each single light-
ing point exploiting the existing electric line, without
adding any new and expensive cable. The system allows
to decide in which particular area to operate and in which
time to send ON/OFF and flux reduction commands to the
lighting points. Moreover we can also get all the informa-
tion about the status and/or malfunctioning of each lamp.
Minos System allows an easy and
comfortable control all over the
public lighting network. Minos X
software has been realized with an
user-friendly concept: with a simple
click you constantly have the plants
status under control, wherever you
are. Thanks to the IOS Server, Linux
platform based, you can access to
Minos X and to all the recorded data
with the maximum safety.
Not just lighting, a new smart grid
Thanks to its innovative technologi-
cal solutions, Minos System trans-
forms the lighting network in the
most widespread communication
infrastructure already present on the
territory and the lamppost in a new
support capable of integrating
services to make the city more smart,
safe and sustainable.
Maintenance in real time
It supplies in real time any informa-
tion regarding systems and running
costs, and it allows prompt and
targeted maintenance interventions.
It measures the actual performance
of the installed components, the
intervention times and the reliability
of the offered service.
Reduction of light pollution
Helps to reduce light pollution and
the phenomenon of light reflected
off the road surface, thanks to the
possibility to program, depending
on the hours and on the basis of
traffic flows, when turn on/off or
dimm the light flow of each light
point, ensuring the security lighting.
Pay back investment
It guarantees, through the continu-
ous and programmed utilization of
the system, the investment return in
a short time by generating financial
resources. The amortization time
depends on the characteristics of the
plants (n° of lighting points, power
and type of lamps). The various
experiences throughout the years
tell us that Minos can be repaid in 3
– 6 years.
Videosurveillance
PLC (Power Line Communication)
allows high-speed data transfer
(broadband) and, thanks to Minos
System, the single lamp post
becomes a LAN point. It is possible
to install one or more IP cameras,
thus having, in a short time, a safe
video surveillance system. Thanks to
this innovative solution, the author-
ized user, through a normal internet
browser, can easily control the
cameras and monitor the territory
remotely, wherever he is.
Parking management
Having useful information to find a
parking in a short time is a solution
to reduce problems related to
mobility and to reduce cities’
pollution. Power Parking System
(PPS) is the revolutionary and
innovative platform that allows
managing easily parking and
mobility in urban and extra-urban
areas. This solution uses Minos
System that, by exploiting the public
lighting and the existing network,
enables sensors’ management useful
to monitor free places, parking
payments and any possible infrac-
tions.
Smart traffic control
The problems of monitoring the
traffic and foreseeing in real time
car flow changing are now over-
come, thanks to the Wise Traffic
Controller (WTC) solution. WTC is a
revolutionary device that gives in
real time information about passing
vehicles on urban and extra urban
roads and it is able to identify their
category (motorbikes, cars, trucks)
and average speed. This is a useful
tool to gather information to issue a
lighting town plan.

3. We Save Power performs energy
audits including all aspects of power
quality and EMC.
Based on measurements, we can
translate our knowledge and under-
standing of electrical installations,
electrical equipment and electronics,
motor- and drive-technology into a
clear reporting about the ‘health’ of
your power supply, including advice
for any necessary improvement.
Neither power control and power
quality protection, nor the lack of it,
are without cost. An important part
of assessing power quality related
costs is determining what specifically
is being affected and where, or in
what aspects of business operations,
these costs show up. The benefits of
good power control and power
quality vary from energy savings up
to damage protection. Prevention is
relatively cheap ranging from simple
good practice to the installation of
support equipment.

Digital Signage
The uninterrupted power supply provid-
ed thanks to Minos System devices con-
nected to the remotely controlled light-
ing allows installing info and advertising
displays without adding new infrastruc-
tures. These displays messages can be
customised thanks to Minos X software.
Creating new backgrounds, creating
custom-made screens and take elec-
tronic post cards become easier, quicker
and can meet any needs.
Wi-Fi Connection
Thanks to the broadband communica-
tion on Powerline, Minos System turns
the lighting plants in a LAN and the
lamp post in a communication point,
where it is possible to install hot-spot
WI-FI, able to grant a widespread and
infrastructure low cost internet service.
This is a fast answer to delete the digital
divide and to provide citizens and final
users with an easy access to internet.
