This system helps duty staff locate and replace broken bulbs, resulting in savings of up to 20 percent of maintenance costs. In addition, the online monitoring of electric power consumption gives duty staff the transparency required to manage and optimize power usage that helps them cut power usage by up to 30 percent.
