Presentation summary

Lighting industry is in the center of a new revolution, related to the trend of ubiquitous connectivity of all devices (i.e., Internet of Things). Lighting systems are recognized as a promising candidate for the Internet of Things backbone, integrating the sensors and communication modules. Collecting data from a dense network of smart sensors will enable providing information and services beyond lighting, such as about building utilization, or about people comfort and wellbeing.

Zumtobel Group, one of the biggest European companies for professional lighting components and systems, is moving quickly in the direction of smart connected lighting – Internet of Lighting. In this presentation, the activities of Zumtobel Group within the Internet of Lighting will be presented, both on the development level, as well as on the research and pre-development level.
