The Screen Control and Monitoring System – Centrally Managing LED Screens
KITT Engineering collaborates with various partners in the field of LED technology. As a result, we manage LED screens of different types and sizes. To streamline the monitoring and maintenance of these screens—independent of manufacturer-supplied tools—we have developed our own system. The Screen Control and Monitoring System (SCMS) allows us to manage and monitor all screens from a single, central location.
Capabilities of KITT Engineering’s Screen Control and Monitoring System
The Screen Control and Monitoring System offers numerous benefits for both us and our clients. LED screens in public spaces must meet strict regulations, making it crucial to continuously monitor their compliance and intervene when necessary.
Preventing Light Pollution with the SCMS
One of the primary concerns for LED screens is light pollution. During the day, a screen can emit more light than at night. However, excessive brightness in darker hours can be disruptive or even blinding. The permitted brightness of a screen at night depends on its location—screens in urban areas can emit more light than those in rural settings.
KITT Engineering’s SCMS ensures that LED screens automatically adjust their brightness based on real-time data. Using light sensors and daylight data, the system regulates the screen’s brightness to match ambient conditions, preventing excessive illumination. This automated adjustment guarantees that our clients’ LED screens comply with regulations and do not cause light pollution.
Real-time Screen Statistics and Remote Access
With the SCMS, our clients can access key performance statistics for their LED screens, providing valuable insights into their operation. The system primarily focuses on the technical functionality of the screens, offering data on essential parameters such as energy consumption, temperature, and light output.
Energy Consumption Tracking
One of the system’s key features is the ability to track energy consumption. Clients can view daily, weekly, or monthly power usage, and compare energy consumption across seasons. This data is essential for calculating operational costs and assessing the financial efficiency of an LED screen.
Temperature Monitoring and Regulation
Beyond energy consumption, monitoring screen temperature is also critical. LED panels generate heat, especially in bright sunlight. The SCMS continuously tracks temperature levels and takes automated corrective actions if necessary.
For instance, on extremely hot days, if a screen overheats, the system reduces brightness automatically to lower the temperature, prolonging the screen’s lifespan. Clients can also choose to disable this feature if needed.
Adaptive Brightness Control Based on Environmental Light
In addition to tracking power usage and temperature, the SCMS records surrounding ambient light levels and the screen’s actual brightness. Clients can analyze historical data to see how their screens respond to changing environmental conditions on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
Screen Control and Monitoring System – Compatibility with All LED Screens
When KITT installs a new LED screen, we typically supply high-quality LED panels tailored to the client’s needs. However, many clients already have existing screens from different manufacturers. Each LED screen varies in size, location, and internal technology, making seamless integration essential.
Fortunately, our SCMS is compatible with most existing LED screens, regardless of the manufacturer.
A Unique Solution with Versatile Applications
KITT Engineering’s SCMS operates independently alongside the built-in technology of an LED screen. Designed for broad compatibility, it works with nearly all LED screen types. This means clients do not need to purchase new LED screens to benefit from our monitoring services. The system’s versatility makes it a unique and cost-effective solution for screen management.
