Samudra Electronic System: Tech Enhances Samudra’s Azure Hue

Solutions Requirement

The Jaipur Nagar Nigam project is an enormous undertaking. The scale was vast, so was the task; replace over two lakh streetlights, reduce the energy consumption of the streetlamps by at least 77.13 per cent, and manage it for a period of 10 years. This scale and scope made it a project unlike any Samudra LED had handled before. In addition, the replaced streetlights had to be controlled

and monitored centrally.

For Samudra LED it was more than just another business undertaking. The company understood the economic, social, and environmental impact the project would have. When they successfully bagged the contract, the company wanted to ensure the best solution possible.

What Samudra LED needed was a platform that would have high availability, best in class computing and analytics capabilities, seamless over the-air-programing ability, and industry best security features, while being affordable. They reached out to Precimetrix for guidance in this regard.

Precimetrix, being a pioneer in IoT and analytics solutions for the manufacturing industry, worked closely with the team to understand their needs. After this systematic evaluation, Precimetrix concluded that Microsoft would be a perfect partner for Samudra LED and could help them bring the Jaipur Nagar Nigam project to a reality.

Solution Deployment

On Azure, Samudra LED had the computing capability they needed at an affordable price. Azure complies with international security standards and protocols and hence is among the most secure cloud platforms available in the industry. Its management no longer had to worry about the security of their data. The service level agreement (SLA) of Azure in terms of availability is 99.99 per cent.

This essentially meant that the platform would be available round the clock; another challenge it had, thus efficiently tackled. Finally, Azure suite includes one of the best analytics platform, Power BI. This meant that Samudra LED could have all the actionable insights that would be required in ensuring that the Energy Conservation Measures (ECM) are rightly developed and implemented.

Solution Benefits

Benefits that Samudra witnessed post the implementation of Azure includes:

High Availability: Azure offers 99.99 per cent uptime as part of the service level agreement (SLA) itself; a critical requirement for Samudra LED.

High Security: Azure is built keeping security at its core. It complies with most of the international security protocols; Samudra LED no longer has to worry about the security of their data.

Analytics: Azure suite comes with some of the best analytics tools in the market and hence Samudra LED can now gain actionable insights without any trouble.

Affordability: Azure comes with pay-as-you-go model and hence is highly affordable, add the lack of initial investment to this and the money Samudra LED saved is enormous.
