Intelligent lighting "high glamour"

With the gradual development of the competitive landscape, more and more manufacturers have discovered the "smart lighting", a large fat that needs to be expanded. However, the giants have already quietly buried their chips and doing things that seem like the old ones are actually cross-border "blending".

Traditional lighting equipment manufacturers such as Philips Lighting and OSRAM are actively transforming into integrated solutions for smart lighting solutions;

Honeywell, Schneider, GE Lighting and other industrial enterprises with industrial automation, automation control and energy management focus on the industrial Internet, Internet of Things and big data, and also penetrate from their own advantages to the field of intelligent lighting. ;

IT companies such as Cisco and Cree are rushing to collaborate on the IoT market lighting, and together with Philips to deploy the IoT office lighting market;

Communication solution providers such as Huawei and ZTE in China have also begun to vigorously develop smart lighting. For example, Huawei recently announced the “industry's first” multi-level intelligent control lighting IoT solution at CeBIT 2016.

In addition to the home smart lighting that operates mobile phones and remote controls, the intelligent lighting of “smart cities” is almost an arena where the above forces are concentrated. For example, Philips has proposed the concept of “intelligent interconnected lighting”. Street lamps are no longer just light poles and lamp holders. They may become sculptures of cities. Street lamps no longer only address lighting needs, but may become carriers of smart cities and smart traffic for transmitting information and The data will reduce the various types of monitors erected by urban and rural areas along the urban roads, enhance the overall image of the city and enhance safety.

The intelligent lighting of the "smart city" is also the most difficult meat bone. On the one hand, it is still the government that dominates and promotes the construction of smart cities. Enterprises can only be solutions and concrete construction implementers. On the other hand, smart cities are the next generation of information such as Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and spatial geographic information integration. Technology, solutions involve multi-party cooperation, and feasible business models and business models are still in the process of exploration.

At the same time, the Industrial Internet is generating data at twice the speed. The investment in infrastructure construction in the next 15 years is expected to be as high as 60 trillion US dollars. The number of connected devices will continue to skyrocket, generating unprecedented data volume and analysis requirements, and industrial lighting will also generate huge volume. At this time, cloud computing data services that have never been in contact with traditional manufacturers will be an indispensable requirement. Lighting companies are well versed in industrial competition and survival rules, and they are more aware of the complementary advantages of using industrial resources.

Let's take a look at what these big vendors have "tickened" which cloud service vendors have done in the traditional industry transformation process. From this, you can see what the ambitions of each manufacturer and the main features and methods of expanding the market.

GE: Predix Cloud, Yun Zhiyi

GE and Predix Cloud:

In August last year, as a digital industry company dedicated to responding to unique customer needs in the aerospace, energy, medical and transportation sectors, GE announced plans to enter the cloud services market through Predix Cloud. The Predix Cloud is the world's first and only cloud solution designed to collect and analyze industrial data. Predix Cloud is also a Platform as a Service (PaaS) that captures and analyzes the data generated by a wide variety of high-speed, diverse machines in a highly secure, industrial-grade cloud environment.

“From mobile phones to tablets, any mobile device can be connected locally or globally, which will drive the expansion of production on these platforms. “Previously, you had to stay near the machine or program and have some kind of HMI, now, anyone passes The same amount of data is available on a tablet or phone. You don't even have to stay next to the machine. Anyone sitting at home on Saturday night can get real-time information when a machine fails. The newcomer in this industry is a cloud-based platform. ”

——Chick, Global Product Manager, GE Intelligent Platforms, GE Intelligent Platforms

Thanks to the proliferation of mobile devices in the consumer market, today's communication speeds make real-time feedback less cumbersome. At the same time, the time and process are arranged in a cautious factory interior, and the huge lighting system can not tolerate the slight delay of time. Chick's real-time feedback refers to everything that happens. She imagines that when speed and security reach a certain level in the future, real-time control of certain processes can eventually be transferred to the cloud platform.

“Cloud computing has achieved incredible innovation in the consumer space. With Predix Cloud, GE will provide a higher level of service to the industry and create more results. The higher the number of hospitals means better, More efficient medical services; a higher degree of manufacturing means more products are produced more quickly; a higher degree of oil company means that each well is more efficient in asset management and more productive."

-- GE CEO Jeff Immelt

GE and Yun Zhiyi:

At the beginning of March 2016, GE officially launched C by GE, the latest intelligent lighting product for accessing cloud smart cloud services in the US market.

The C by GE product suite consists of two C Sleep bulbs and two C Life bulbs for different functions. C Sleep has three settings: corresponding to the morning, noon and evening light, which simulates the sun to produce melatonin, which helps sleep. The light bulb will glow in the morning, giving you normal light during the day and warm amber light in the evening.

“For many people, lighting is a part of smart home, allowing devices such as smart thermostats, closed-circuit monitors and smoke detectors to be connected to the hub. The operation of the cross-device is exactly what many manufacturers are smashing. There is no real winner in the market. Therefore, GE Lighting wants to bring consumers a lighting solution that can operate independently."

-- Tom Stimac, Innovation Director, GE Lighting

In the process, Yunzhiyi Smart Living Network is based on Amazon AWS IaaS resources to provide secure, reliable and autonomous IoT cloud services for the globalization of C by GE lighting solutions.

OSRAM: Arrayent IoT Platform

Not long ago, LED lighting leader OSRAM announced that it has begun to use the Arrayent IoT platform to enable consumers to remotely personalize and write their LIGHTIFY intelligent lighting control system using a smartphone or tablet.

The OSRAM LIGHTIFY intelligent lighting control system enables dimming, color control, lighting presets, mood scenes and programming sequences for the light. Osram said the smart lighting control system allows consumers to connect lighting from different rooms or offices in the home and control from anywhere in the world.

You may not have heard of Arrayent, an IoT cloud platform that provides PaaS services for smart devices, specifically for companies that want to connect their products to the Internet.

In fact, the IoT think tank has long since smashed this company, or something in 2013:

Arrayent is an Internet of Things company that specializes in providing services to companies that want to connect their products to the Internet. It is known as Cisco in the Internet of Things.

Arrayent offers a set of "turnkey communication systems" called "network connection systems" that help companies connect their products to smartphones and computers over the Internet.

The company believes its products can be used in the following areas:

Monitor energy and water sources via a smartphone or browser;

Home monitoring (door locks, home security systems, blinds, outlets, smoke alarms, etc.);

Entertainment products such as e-book readers, personalized radios, and connected toys;

Family health monitoring, linking patients to family and doctors;

Car location services, remote control and access, engine monitoring.

Arrayent features:

The patented device virtualization technology allows users to use the cheapest hardware with high added value, low-cost, scalable, two-way communication service technology, low latency, and support for multiple Lan technologies such as Zigbee and Z-wave in the cloud. With safe and reliable features, additional features such as alarm engine and firmware update.

In terms of application development support, it provides RESTAPI and real-time back-end channels, provides energy pricing data and connectivity to public facilities, demand response systems, rapid development of smart grid applications, and zip code-based commercial-grade weather forecasts.

Arrayent application examples include:

Mattel's IM-ME networking toy;

LiftMaster's networked garage door opening device;

Hunter's energy-saving thermostat Fan.

Arrayen provides IoT platform services to well-known consumer brands who want to bring connectivity products and systems to the market. It integrates networked sensing devices on its own platform by addressing a range of compatibility issues, completely changing the interaction between device manufacturers and consumers.

“In the past, large-scale equipment production was only communicated to consumers once in about 10 years, but with networked equipment they could serve three or four times a week.”

——BobDahlberg, Vice President, Business Development, Arrayent

Access to the Arrayent platform, the role of the device manufacturer is more like a service provider, and the device becomes a carrier for providing continuous service - the service is also a place for value added. Equipment manufacturers can not only save a lot of hardware production investment (support low allocation), but Arrayent cloud solutions also save them a lot of market data surveys, on-site services and other costs.

OSRAM has apparently chosen to address the compatibility issues of the Internet of Things through a third-party platform, Arrayent. At the end of January this year, Arrayent started again and received a $15 million Series C financing. The Arrayent IoT platform is said to have gathered IoT connectivity products from 60 client companies by the end of 2015.

Op Lighting: Aliyun

Last year, Op Lighting and Alibaba Cloud's “Ali Xiaozhi” launched a lighting product – Ali Xiaozhi directly connected the dimming color living room lamp. The cooperation between Op Lighting and “Ali Xiaozhi” is not surprising in this cross-border circle. “Ali Xiaozhi” relies on Alibaba Cloud's accumulated cloud computing platform to provide users with high stability and rapid intelligent control. terminal. As a leading provider of integrated lighting solutions, Op Lighting has been strategically deploying intelligent products since 2014, with a view to combining human intelligent services with high-quality lamps to seek new breakthroughs for the future development of the lighting industry.

Philips: ActiveSite

In March of this year, Philips Lighting released an application solution for cloud-based Philips ActiveSite intelligent connected lighting system in more scenarios. For example, in Spain's two landmark buildings - the Spanish Petroleum Corporation Headquarters Building (CEPSA) and Toledo's world heritage site Bao de la Cava - to help users monitor the lighting from the cloud, you can arrange landmarks from anywhere in the world. light show.

Philips ActiveSite is a cloud-based smart connected lighting system that allows administrators to monitor, maintain and manage the entire building's lighting from anywhere in the world via an Internet access system. The system provides email alerts, fault warnings, and operational record analysis to help managers better understand system performance, track their health throughout their lifecycle, and work with Philips LED lighting products to save up to 75% of energy while helping. Light managers light up modern skyscrapers or historic buildings anytime, anywhere, with a variety of lighting effects. The Philips ActiveSite Smart Interconnect Lighting System has been used in several world-renowned landmarks including the San Francisco Bay Bridge and the Allianz Arena, home of Bayern Munich Football Club.

“Philips already has a lot of smart city-related applications, but no one can make accurate predictions about what the smart city of the future will develop.”

——Dominiek Plancke, Head of Philips Professional Lighting Products

However, he also made it clear that if the city's municipal administration needs to invest in the entire life cycle of the city's lighting system, this means that the design and product solutions provided by the company need to consider the use of the next 25 to 30 years. From a point of view, Philips Smart Connected Lighting System is based on cloud computing, and there are also considerations in this regard: Intelligent lighting solutions for smart cities are not only safe and stable, but also need to be “flexible” to provide scalable products and service.

Dutch lighting company Innr: Ayla Union

Last year, Dutch lighting company Innr and AylaNetworks signed an agreement to use the Ayla IoT platform to provide all the back-end connectivity, security and cross-brand compatibility features, as well as a mobile application library that can be added to Innr's cloud offerings. Mobile app control features.

“Because we are a lighting company, not an IoT connection company. Therefore, increasing the functionality, security and compatibility of products to expand beyond the local area requires extremely high costs, is time consuming, and is extremely complex. Cumbersome

——Jeroen Dalderop, CEO and co-founder of Innr

As an agile Internet of Things (IoT) platform that provides full connectivity support for a wide range of products, Ayla provides all the back-end connectivity, security and cross-brand compatibility features that Innr needs, as well as a mobile application library that adds mobility to cloud products. Application control function.

Sunlight & Internet of Things Platform Kii+ IoT Wisdom Kalay

Last year, Kii, an Internet of Things back-end platform provider, and M2M's innovative solution provider, IoT, worked together to develop a new generation of IoT cloud platforms for complex video and surveillance technology applications. This collaboration enables the capture of dynamic video recorded by home and business security systems directly to the cloud or personal storage devices. Kii Cloud integrates the intelligent cloud platform Kalay, expanding the IoT ecosystem and covering the world, providing enterprises and consumers with comprehensive security solutions.

Then, Kii announced the launch of intelligent lighting products in conjunction with Sunshine Lighting. The intelligent lighting system launched by the company has functions such as timing control, remote control and scene setting. At the same time, the intelligent lighting device is perfect for achieving various functions such as low power consumption, high brightness, long life and maintenance free, and excellent waterproof and heat dissipation characteristics. Kii provides an APP solution for intelligent lighting devices that provides remote control of the brightness, color and color temperature of smart lights. Users can use the app provided by Kii to control the operation of intelligent lighting devices on Android and IOS systems.

From the perspective of urban lighting alone, there are about 1 billion street lamps in the country. If these lights are used as intelligent lighting, Internet lighting will have unlimited expansion space, but the amount of data generated by them is also huge. Whether it is the fiery construction of smart cities, the hidden opportunities in the office lighting market, or the home lighting market that is being watched by many “players”, under the huge data volume, the realization and development of on-demand lighting still has a long time. The road is going.

It can be said that the "intelligence" of intelligent lighting, in addition to remote control of multi-point linkage, is ultimately inseparable from the processing and analysis of data. Judging from the cooperation mode of the above-mentioned major traditional lighting manufacturers in the process of transformation with large and small cloud service providers and IoT platforms, the development of intelligent lighting must be hybridized and developed.

The piezoelectric transducers (for External Drive) produce exceptional sound output and efficiency all while meeting each customers unique performance requirements. Piezo transducers are constructed without magnets, instead they create sound mechanically via the piezoelectric effect. Our piezo transducers are not equipped with a built in drive circuit. This provides our customers with the flexibility of designing their own circuitry to meet their specific needs. The advantage of using an external drive circuit is that the piezo transducers can output sounds at multiple frequencies. Full bridge circuits ramp up SPL for more peak-to-peak voltage, making our piezo transducers a high output solution.
