Introduction: Intelligent lighting is a brand new industry that was born with the Internet of Things. It is a subdivision of the materialization under the influence of the Internet. Intelligent lighting not only has traditional lighting functions, but also enables automatic interaction, providing a more convenient, safer and more comfortable experience. In addition to lighting, smart lighting can also be used in communications, positioning and more.
Traditional lighting industry needs transformationThe traditional lighting is based on the LED lighting manufacturers, integrating the LED light source module, the driver and the heat dissipation module, and providing them to the factory for construction.
Intelligent lighting is a brand new industry that was born with the Internet of Things. It is a subdivision of the Internet of Things under the influence of the Internet. Intelligent lighting not only has traditional lighting functions, but also enables automatic interaction, providing a more convenient, safer and more comfortable experience.
The traditional lighting supply chain system has been self-contained for a long time, and it has not been mixed with other categories. It has developed into the Internet of Things today. Intelligent lighting systems urgently need to build a whole system with other smart devices and link with other devices. The traditional lighting industry chain has long been unsuitable for the intelligent lighting industry that requires a high degree of system integration. In the future, traditional lighting should be transformed from a commercial type developed by the current lighting fixtures to a system commercial type.
Downstream LED lighting companies will pay attention to intelligent lighting, and upstream enterprises will naturally keep up. In the future, intelligent lighting needs to meet the requirements of more environmental scenarios, and higher requirements are put forward in terms of volume and cost. Under the limitation of the illumination system, LED driver chips and packagers have regarded the opto-integrated LED design with integrated driver circuit and light source as the layout focus, and developed new LED driver ICs, as well as DOB (DriveronBoard) and COB (ChiponBoard). Packaging solution.
System design is the inevitable trend of intelligent lightingIn addition to the light source, intelligent lighting also includes Sensors, control systems, software development, cloud platform, artificial intelligence, industrial design, voice recognition, etc. Therefore, to do intelligent lighting, we need to start from the whole system design concept and provide a complete solution. It is an inevitable trend.
The supply chain system required for intelligent lighting, such as cameras, sensors and smart lighting supporting resources required for home decoration, all the accessories from R&D, manufacturing, design, sales, etc. are required to cooperate with each other to achieve interconnection and interoperability. Cross-border resources must be used to cooperate and learn from each other.
The rapid development of intelligent lighting is inseparable from the promotion of LED technology, sensor technology, control technology, IT technology, communication technology and other technologies.
A variety of technologies promote the development of intelligent lighting, but also implies that the field of intelligent lighting is no longer a lighting company or a region where a company can conquer alone. With the rise of the concept of smart home, intelligent lighting can not be independently developed from other household products, which requires enterprises from all walks of life to jointly build a smart ecosystem covering intelligent lighting.
The integrated system architecture will become the future development trend, and will also drive the cross-border integration and acquisition situation between intelligent lighting manufacturers. Philips Lighting and Huawei signed a cooperation agreement to ensure a seamless interface between the Philips Hue home smart lighting system and the Huawei Ocean Connect IoT platform. Huawei and Op Lighting have previously signed a smart home strategic cooperation framework agreement.
For LED companies to do smart lighting, they must cross the border. For IoT enterprises, smart lighting is an indispensable part of smart homes and smart cities. Many well-known domestic and foreign brands such as Microsoft, IBM, Ali, Huawei, Xiaomi, and Tencent have entered the field of intelligent lighting and seized. The smart lighting industry is the best testimony. In other words, only through the cross-border interaction and cooperation, the combination of lighting and hardware and the Internet of Things can achieve truly humanized intelligent lighting.
New applications after lighting enters the Internet of ThingsIn addition to lighting, intelligent lighting can also be used for communication and positioning. In the era when wireless communication is not yet popular, when the ship is docked, the crew must continue to use the manual method to light the Morse code and send messages to the port staff, which can be called visible light communication. Modern visible light communication can help with electronic circuits. The speed is 100 million times faster than the traditional method, that is, the amount of information can be transmitted more than 100 million times in the same time.
Communication with intelligent lighting does not require opening or closing the LED light. As long as the brightness of the light bulb changes slightly, the sensor can sense. In terms of technology, it is only necessary to control the current intensity, and the technology is not difficult. At present, because smart lighting is not widely used in communication, dimming and communication functions belong to two chips, and it is expected to be integrated into one in the future, which has little impact on volume and cost.
However, in wireless communication, smart lighting competitors, such as WiFi, are vulnerable to the exclusion of existing technologies, and it is not easy to get behind. Therefore, for the extended application of intelligent lighting, priority is given to positioning, especially indoor positioning, and research and development of indoor positioning systems.
Outdoor positioning has become quite popular, and the accuracy has been increasing. The highest penetration rate is GPS, but indoor positioning has just started, and the accuracy is not good. The technology most commonly used for indoor positioning is WiFi, but its accuracy is only 5 to 10 meters. The principle of intelligent lighting for indoor positioning is that each bulb has an address, and its accuracy can be improved to Within 1 meter, the probability of error is greatly reduced.
In addition to lighting, communication, positioning, another function of intelligent lighting is applied to health care, treatment, also known as human-induced lighting, or "light therapy." In the past, the direction of lighting technology was bright. In the future, the direction is to make users feel comfortable and promote their health. For human lighting, focus on emotional disorder treatment, sleep disorder treatment, osteoporosis treatment, etc. Can be cut into the commercial and home markets at the same time.
Treated with light, since ancient times, such as baby jaundice, sun, radiation can be cured. In the early years, people only knew it, but they did not know why. After research by scientists, it was discovered that blue light is the natural enemy of Huang Qi. At present, infants suffering from jaundice do not have to be exposed to strong light, and with appropriate amount of blue light, that is, have the same effect, and no longer need to endure the discomfort caused by strong light.
Three diseases, such as mood disorders, sleep disorders, and osteoporosis, can alleviate the condition through sunshine, but it is not known what kind of light is the key to treatment. The key point is to find out the light that can treat these three diseases through scientific methods, so as to adjust the LED lights. The biggest advantage of "light therapy" is that the treatment is the same as staying indoors, and under the guidance of the doctor, Implemented at home, the patient acceptance is quite high.
The causes of emotional disorders are very complicated, and the number of patients is increasing. In the United States, the amount of medication has jumped to the second largest number of diseases. In addition, the Nordic countries lacking sufficient sunshine for many years have a much higher prevalence than other countries. . Philips has launched a white light bulb similar to the sun for the Nordic market, trying to offer new treatment options.
International manufacturers are actively investing in the development of new applications for intelligent lighting. In addition to hospitals, the main battlefield will also lock schools and households in the future. What is certain is that after several years, new applications of intelligent lighting will spring up and become the lighting industry, ICT. A new engine for industry advancement and profitability!
More and more intelligent lighting application exploration has come out, such as using lights to guide the museum, providing indoor navigation, indoor maps, and so on. The application of combining business intelligence is getting more and more popular and more and more grounded.
For example, for a certain store, using the data of the lighting Internet of Things, analysis and optimization can improve store operating efficiency, profitability and return on investment, and improve marketing effectiveness.
1. Master the consumer's activity track and consumer preferences, facilitate accurate, personalized marketing, and enhance user experience;
2. Improve the reliability of forecasting (event, marketing, advertising) and better resource allocation;
3. Monitor sales performance, customer satisfaction, sales trends and employee utilization;
4. Align sales plans with corporate strategies and customer needs;
5. Perform performance evaluations of departments, stores, commodities, and employees;
6. Adjust resources and activities according to cycle factors such as seasons and cycles to optimize profit operation.
All of these are the effects that the IoT can achieve and achieve.
The popularity of the intelligent lighting market is not unrelated to the Internet of Things. It is the rise of the concept of the Internet of Things that makes intelligent lighting as the entrance to the Internet of Things a hot new battleground.
Summary: Despite the IoT's support as an intelligent lighting, there are still few companies that can actually connect smart lighting to the Internet of Things. Intelligent lighting requires different roles, understanding hardware, software, communication, light sources, lamps, etc., but also needs to provide system integration solutions, so intelligent lighting industry must work together, only through cross-border interaction and cooperation, to achieve lighting and hardware and things The combination of networking can achieve truly humanized intelligent lighting.
