Smartmation is a remote management platform for urban public lighting, covering streetlights, electrical cabinets, monuments, and building façade lighting. It collects operating parameters through IoT devices installed in light fixtures or electrical cabinets and sends the data to a central platform, enabling real-time monitoring, remote control, alerts, and automated work orders. According to the official website, it manages more than 270,000 light points and has significant coverage in Argentina’s public lighting remote management market.
The platform supports two modes: individual light-level node control and circuit/electrical cabinet-based control. Features include operating status monitoring, fault alerts, Class I energy metering, GPS positioning, dimming for energy savings, automated work orders, a web application, and a mobile app. Supported communication technologies include NB-IoT, CatM1, 2G, 6LoWPAN, LoRaWAN, and IEEE 802.15.4. The system also supports remote software and firmware upgrades. During brief network or central system outages, lights can operate autonomously using an astronomical clock and light sensors, while nodes can locally store up to 10 days of metering data and synchronize it after connectivity is restored.
The official website does not provide public plans or pricing; solutions are mainly obtained through scheduled consultations. Deployment is relatively flexible: it can be hosted by Smartmation on AWS, or deployed on the customer’s own infrastructure, with different cost implications for the latter. Cellular data plans are managed and activated by Smartmation as part of the overall service.
The advantages are that the solution is vertically integrated, covering hardware, communications, cloud platform, mobile access, and operations workflows. Permissions can be controlled by user group and individual user, and operation logs are available. Communications use both symmetric and asymmetric key encryption. The drawbacks are that the website does not disclose standard pricing, SLAs, APIs, developer documentation, or integration capabilities with third-party business systems, and compliance certification information is also limited.
It is better suited for municipal lighting departments, urban operations contractors, and large-scale public lighting projects, rather than small teams looking for a general-purpose facility management SaaS. Access from mainland China is not addressed in the available materials, and since its infrastructure mentions AWS, actual availability would need to be tested.
