Summary:
An innovative SME located in North West Italy developed, patented and is producing an LED lighting intelligent bulb with integrated Central Processing Unit (CPU), sensors and communication via light itself. This bulb replaces standard T8 neon tubes allowing more than 50% energy saving if compared to traditional LED. The company is interested in commercial agreements with technical assistance or licence agreements with end users, technology intermediaries or lights manufacturers.
Description:
An innovative SME located in North West Italy developed, patented and is producing a portfolio of smart LED lights, from standard T8 tubes to complete form factor luminaires, which integrate inside each lamp an operating system, a ligthing sensor and VLC (VideoLan Client) communication capabilities.
A locally installed software is controlling the light behaviour in function of local settings (e.g. requested Lux level), integrated sensor inputs and information received by the nearby lamps which communicate the network status through a proprietary VideoLan Client (VLC) protocol. Each tube or lamp is installed exactly in the same way as any other LED light, there is no need to recable or to install any central control unit.
Inside each product a low energy bluetooth processor is also integrated and it is activated when customers want to change local configuration only (e.g. changing lux target) or download, from the lamp memory, the last period energy consumption data.
The company is working to integrate several other kinds of sensors (seismic, distance, gas ecc) in order to transform each light point of a building in a real monitor and control IoT device. Easy installation (simply change the bulb!!) and pervasive presence of light in a building transform this patented solution not only in a energy saving product but in a complete, simple and cost effective monitoring solution.
The company is interested in commercial agreements with technical assistance or licence agreements with end users, technology intermediaries or lights manufacturers.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The company is looking for technology intermediaries or lights manufacturers interested in integrating this technology in their product portfolio through commercial agreements with technical assistance or licence agreements.
