Urbis Schreder

As energy costs rise, and sustainability becomes critical, local authorities face immense pressure to adopt more eco-friendly infrastructure. Urbis Schréder is stepping up with innovative solar lighting solutions that not only reduce energy consumption but also empower clients to manage their systems more efficiently. Gary Bennett, Regional Director (UK and Ireland), notes, "We’re not just delivering lighting solutions—we’re offering integrated services that help reduce carbon footprints and give full control of lighting systems."

Revolutionising Urban Lighting

Urban lighting has advanced beyond simply illuminating streets—it’s now a vital part of smart city infrastructure. With solutions like Schréder’s EXEDRA control management system, local authorities can manage their lighting networks in real time, reducing energy consumption by up to 85%. These systems lower both operational costs and carbon emissions, while also improving urban safety. Well-lit spaces deter crime, reduce accidents, and create more inviting public environments.

Schréder and Photinus: A Powerful Alliance

Urbis Schréder’s partnership with Photinus introduces a range of powerful solar-powered lighting solutions. These off-grid products are efficient, durable, and sustainable—ideal for local authorities looking to reduce their environmental impact while saving on energy costs. Our solar lighting options are designed for various outdoor applications, providing reliable illumination without the need for electricity, making them perfect for urban and rural areas alike.

The SMART Approach 

At Urbis Schréder, we believe that all smart systems—regardless of the provider or the user—should adhere to five key principles: they must be Simple, Modular, Automation-driven, Resilient, and Trustworthy (SMART). This philosophy is the foundation upon which Schréder EXEDRA is built.

Schréder’s EXEDRA is a Central Management System (CMS) designed to optimise urban lighting and related infrastructure. It provides towns and cities with a robust platform to manage their lighting networks effectively. With EXEDRA, public funds are invested in infrastructure that delivers tangible operational benefits, meets stringent sustainability and decarbonisation targets, and enhances services that directly impact citizens' quality of life.

Furthermore, dynamic control systems contribute to public safety by ensuring that lighting levels are adequate in areas where they are needed most. This not only conserves energy but also supports the safety and well-being of citizens, creating a more secure and inviting urban environment.
