Schréder EXEDRA
One platform to monitor, control, and optimise your entire outdoor lighting network.
Schréder EXEDRA gives cities and infrastructure operators full control over their outdoor lighting network — from energy scheduling to fault detection and urban data collection.
Why Schréder EXEDRA?
Schréder EXEDRA is a Central Management System (CMS) for connected outdoor lighting and smart city infrastructure. It gives operators full visibility and control over their network, from dimming schedules and fault detection to CO₂ reporting and multi-site management. Scalable from a single installation to a city-wide fleet, it integrates third-party devices without vendor lock-in.
Key benefits at a glance:
- Up to 70% energy savings vs. legacy lighting systems
- Single platform from one site to city-wide deployment
- TALQ-certified open interoperability — no vendor lock-in
- ISO 27001:2022 certified security
Designed for roles
Schréder EXEDRA empowers every user — from lighting operators to sustainability leads — with the precise scope,
data, and authority they need to act on connected infrastructure.
Lighting operations managers
Get a real-time map view of every luminaire, apply dimming programmes across zones, and track energy savings across your entire network from a single dashboard.
Maintenance and field teams
Identify faults, trace their root cause, and locate the affected luminaire on a map before dispatching a team. Less downtime, fewer repeat interventions.
Connected infrastructure leads
Consolidate management under a single platform with integrated and progressive governance of connected services without the need for parallel systems.
Sustainability managers
Drive environmental goals with integrated energy and CO2 monitoring, delivering consolidated reporting data without the cost of new infrastructure layers.
Open standards, no vendor lock-in
Eliminate supplier lock-in with a truly interoperable system. Schréder EXEDRA uses open,
vendor-neutral standards to integrate diverse devices into one unified view.

FAQ
How does the Schréder control system prevent vendor lock-in?
Schréder EXEDRA is a TALQ-certified platform that adopts uCIFI data models and LwM2M protocols. These open standards allow your system to integrate third-party sensors and hardware from any manufacturer that follows the same specifications. You are free to select best-in-class technology as it becomes available, without being tied to a single supplier. Open APIs extend this further, allowing EXEDRA to ingest data from external urban systems. Your infrastructure data stays yours, accessible to any authorised third-party system.
How secure is the Schréder Central Management System (CMS)?
Our processes are ISO 27001:2022 certified, meeting the highest international benchmarks for information security. We use TLS 1.3 encrypted communications and controlled access management to safeguard your data integrity. Furthermore, Schréder EXEDRA is purpose-built to support compliance with global regulations such as GDPR, NIS2, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
How do I start a smart lighting project with Schréder EXEDRA?
Schréder EXEDRA Genius experts can support your project from the planning and specification stage, helping you define the right connected lighting architecture, select appropriate communication technologies and prepare your system for data-driven operation from day one. The best way to start is with a clear objective, whether that is immediate energy savings or improved public safety.
What is the difference between SENSE, LIGHTSYNC, and GENIUS?
SENSE focuses on urban intelligence via physical sensors (traffic, air quality, noise, occupancy). LIGHTSYNC provides sensorless adaptation based on external data feeds (weather, traffic flow). GENIUS is our expert-led service layer that provides human mastery and optimisation to ensure your system delivers maximum ROI on your connected lighting investment.
Can Schréder EXEDRA help meet my city’s ESG and sustainability goals?
Yes. Dynamic dimming, FlexiWhite tunable white technology, and granular energy monitoring typically reduce consumption by up to 70% compared to legacy systems. EXEDRA also generates the CO₂ and energy reports needed to document your impact for stakeholders, green procurement criteria, or sustainability audits.
How long does a typical Schréder EXEDRA deployment take?
Deployment timelines depend on scope. A single-site pilot can go live in weeks; a city-wide rollout typically runs as a phased program over several months, with Schréder EXEDRA Genius experts supporting each stage — from architecture and node selection through commissioning and handover. Contact us for a scoped estimate based on your asset count and existing infrastructure.
Does the system work with existing luminaires from other brands?
Schréder EXEDRA is a TALQ-certified platform. This certification is the industry benchmark for interoperability. If your existing luminaires are equipped with a TALQ-certified outdoor lighting controller (node), they can be seamlessly integrated and managed within the EXEDRA environment. This allows you to unify your entire city’s lighting infrastructure under a single, clear interface, regardless of the luminaire’s original manufacturer.
