Smart buildings start with lighting


Not long ago, Redwood Systems officially launched the latest third-generation intelligent platform for lighting and building performance management, providing real-time dynamic building intelligence management through a cost-effective lighting solution. The high-density sensor network enables extremely smooth single-lamp dimming or one-touch daylight harvesting, and achieves high-accuracy sensing for the lighting measurements used by the user. The above scenario is based on such a technical background. In addition, these sensors automatically deliver data and alerts, reporting usage of the work area, including brightness levels, temperature, occupancy data, and actual power consumption. With this data, infrastructure managers and owners can make cost-effective decisions on building lighting, HVAC, and strategic real estate building planning with full knowledge of relevant information.
According to CommScope, the future world is a digital world, so providing physical channels for transmitting these digital information, focusing different numbers on one platform has become the core of the future. We need to provide a cost-effective platform to achieve true intelligent buildings. Kevin St. Cyr, senior vice president of CommScope Enterprise Solutions, said.
Small Heart Wisdom CommScope's intelligent path is long-planned. Its core business is to build a network infrastructure. However, under the turmoil of the entire earth, CommScope has also developed ideas for smart wiring and smart networks, and slowly derived intelligent infrastructure. In July, CommScope successfully acquired Redwood Systems, a provider of LED lighting solutions and integrated sensor networks for data centers and buildings, enabling CommScope to provide a comprehensive and highly automated infrastructure management platform for intelligent building infrastructure.
It is understood that the energy-saving power consumption of the building platform developed by RedwoodSystems is 75 higher than the traditional fluorescent lighting system used in the office building, 90 higher than the traditional fluorescent lighting system in the data center, and can monitor the space utilization, temperature and power consumption hierarchically. .
This is not a fake number, but the revolutionary nature of RedwoodSystems. Wu Jian, technical manager of CommScope Greater China, said that the power supply lines and control lines of most lamps on the market are separate. The power supply is high-voltage AC, and the control becomes low-voltage DC. CommScope's lighting system combines power and control, using patented network technology and low-voltage DC architecture, requiring only one system of wiring and one set of hardware to power the lamps.
The original service object is only a network service. Now it has double-edged and realized the lighting network two-in-one. This method is indeed unique, because the LED itself has energy-saving effect, and the unified control is undoubtedly more energy-saving and environmentally friendly and reducing resource costs. good idea. At the same time, CommScope has also worked hard on the sensor design of each LED light.
At present, many manufacturers' LED lights can be controlled by adding specific sensors, back-end systems and low-voltage DC systems, resulting in different control systems for lighting and temperature, and the wiring is somewhat complicated. In CommScope's system, each LED light has an adapter that integrates five sensors in one, and finally the sensor's digital signal is processed centrally. These five sensors contain lighting, the perception of moving objects, temperature, humidity and dust.
Don't worry, a complete smart building system is not so easy to accomplish. A building has four infrastructures, water, electricity, wind and communication networks, including multiple system networks for security, copper shaft cables, wireless base stations, etc., and CommScope is now going to do this multiple system networks. Unifying into a single transmission line will save resources and be easy to manage. After the central nervous system is repaired, the subsequent sensing function is the icing on the cake. Our future is to be unified, which is also a necessary trend in the development of the entire intelligent building industry. Wu Jian said that the deployment of sensors and the collection of data in the network system, in the future, our products will go to a unified and unified platform, and will manage the integrated wiring, data center, lighting system and surrounding environment in the future to form a complete set of intelligence. System.
CommScope is now gradually extending to all aspects of smart buildings with intelligent lighting as a guide, and once this unified platform is built, it will produce a lot of valuable data. The core of true digitalization is the software-defined network, and all future industries will enter a software-based way to manage all the hardware. Wu Jian said.
