“SmartBeam Bench” – smart module for benches with solar energy, USB charging and Smart City functions

SmartBeam – Smart Solar Energy Module Transforming Urban Benches into Modern “Smart City” Stations

An Innovative Solution for Modern Public Spaces

SmartBeam is a next-generation solar-powered module designed for architects, landscape designers, urban planners, municipalities, and infrastructure specialists who aim to create smart, sustainable, and functional public spaces.

This innovative solution allows a traditional outdoor bench to be transformed into a multifunctional urban infrastructure element that not only provides a comfortable place for relaxation but also creates additional value for residents, tourists, and city visitors.

The development of modern cities is increasingly based on the “Smart City” concept, where public spaces are no longer only aesthetic environments but also functional infrastructure equipped with advanced technologies. People relax, work, use wireless internet, charge mobile devices, and expect convenient technological solutions in public areas.

That is why SmartBeam becomes a natural part of contemporary urban architecture – advanced technologies are subtly integrated into a minimalist design while maintaining harmony with the surrounding environment.

Sustainable Solution for the Cities of the Future

SmartBeam is designed to operate autonomously using renewable solar energy. The integrated 48 W solar module generates energy during the day, which is stored in a 20 Ah lithium-ion battery, ensuring system operation without direct connection to the electrical grid.

Due to its autonomous operation, SmartBeam does not require underground electrical cables, complex electrical installation works, or additional infrastructure. This provides greater design flexibility and allows the solution to be easily integrated into parks, squares, residential areas, coastal promenades, bicycle paths, university campuses, business districts, and other recreational spaces.

By using solar energy, SmartBeam reduces operational costs, electricity consumption, and CO₂ emissions. The solution meets the principles of sustainable urban development, green public procurement, and ESG-oriented projects.

More Than an Urban Bench – An Intelligent Infrastructure Platform

SmartBeam is not just a solar battery. It is an advanced solution that provides urban furniture with new functionality and enables integration into modern digital city infrastructure.

The standard configuration can include wireless mobile phone charging, LED lighting, GPS location tracking, an internet connectivity module with data transmission, user flow monitoring, and an integrated cooling system.

Depending on project requirements, SmartBeam can be expanded with USB-A and USB-C charging ports, air quality sensors, an additional battery for extended autonomy, a Power Beam module increasing solar energy generation capacity, or a WiFi Beam module creating a public wireless internet access point.

In this way, SmartBeam becomes not only a functional urban furniture element but also an important part of smart city infrastructure.

Minimalist Design Suitable for Various Architectural Projects

When designing SmartBeam, the principle was that technology should complement architecture rather than dominate it. The structure is manufactured from high-quality black anodized aluminium, providing a modern, unified, and elegant appearance.

Thanks to its minimalist form, SmartBeam can be easily integrated with different types of urban furniture – wooden, steel, or concrete benches. The solution is suitable for modern city centers, business districts, residential developments, as well as historical area renovation projects.

Durability and Reliability in Public Spaces

Public spaces require solutions that maintain their functionality and aesthetic value for many years. The SmartBeam housing is manufactured from high-quality anodized aluminium, while the solar module is protected with a durable polymer coating that ensures reliable operation under various environmental conditions.

The system is designed to operate in rain, snow, intense sunlight, and temperature fluctuations from –10 °C to +50 °C. The selected materials provide resistance to corrosion, UV radiation, and intensive daily use.

Fast Installation and Easy Integration into Projects

Each SmartBeam module is delivered fully assembled and ready for installation. The system does not require complex electrical solutions or additional cable installation, allowing installation works to be completed quickly and efficiently.

This is especially important for public space renovation projects and new infrastructure developments where reducing installation time and overall project costs is a key priority.
