International. Samsung announced the creation of a new open, secure and connected platform for smart lighting, designed for integration with LED lighting systems in order to easily transform luminaires into digital smart nodes.
This Internet of Things (IoT) platform incorporates processing capabilities, firmware, connectivity and an open architecture connected to sensors to collect data and create new applications.
The information created by the smart lighting platform can be disaggregated for analysis in order to develop new services for cities, communities, builders and users, while improving energy efficiency, safety and productivity.
"The convergence of the Internet of Things and LED technologies is adding intelligence to lighting systems and enabling the digital lighting industry. By using data analytics, we can transform this information into valuable services and benefits, such as energy management, maintenance, safety and security, and increased convenience," said Young Sohn, President and Chief Strategy Officer, Samsung.
Indoor or outdoor lighting is one of the technologies that people interact with every day. As smart lighting systems are integrated into cities, offices and homes, people are expected to notice immediate improvements in energy efficiency, increased quality of life and personal safety.
