IoT Lighting Platform

Design, development and implementation of an IoT platform for the control and monitoring of LED lighting devices

Customer

Kerr Italia, ECOSPARKS

Objective

Optimise the energy consumption of the lights by monitoring the operating parameters and switching on the lights themselves on the basis of the actual presence of people

Solution

BOX-IO Custom Platform

Business Challenge

We designed a scalable system for the implementation of scenarios with a very high number of connected devices (thousands). The project also required the implementation of automatisms capable of providing automatic control scenarios.

Benefit

Optimization of energy consumption of business scenarios
Build and deliver an IoT ecosystem for real-time monitoring and automation
Scalable and easily extensible platform for additional services
Ecosystem easy to install, configure and use
Real-time data collection

Description Activities

The project required the design, development and integration of innovative LED lighting devices for the monitoring and control of energy consumption in the smart building sector.

To this end, a specific firmware was developed for lighting devices that can send information via BOX-IO to a Cloud Server.

We have integrated specific sensors and actuators for the implementation of control scenarios in smart building (temperature, humidity, lighting, security control doors and windows, CO2) with the aim of offering maximum comfort and well-being within the building. The parameters, scenarios and their optimal range were then studied to ensure maximum quality.

In order to be able to control and visualize the entire platform, we have therefore developed a special Web and App interface through which the user can access, in the cloud, to monitor the different scenarios implemented.

We have therefore created an IoT ecosystem composed of hardware, software, firmware and the cloud, which, integrated with appropriate services, is able to control and monitor different scenarios in the smart building sector.
