Working with EDF on an innovative design software solution for cities 

Context

EDF, the national French utility with a global presence, released an innovative tool to help cities design and rebuild a more efficient streetlighting within a comprehensive lighting master plan. The solution integrates local lighting levels regulations and standards as well as luminaires’ photometric characteristics. It also allows users to work at city scale enabling a better accuracy and more time-efficiency. The international’s team who leads EDF’s smart city project development globally uses Citevision regularly when bidding to large and complex projects around the world.  

Challenge

EDF was looking to improve Citevision’s technical and functional performance as a key tool for large streetlighting project development. The main challenge was to find a partner who would be able to audit and update the Citevision solution and hence has a proven expertise in streetlight design and complex smart city projects development coupled to strong software development capabilities. Kurrant was the right partner for that mission.
