Digitisation is transforming the way businesses, governments and consumers interact with the physical world. Lighting industry is poised to be the next digital disruptors thanks to increasing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT, being referred as the next industrial revolution, allows connectivity to devices and enables one device to communicate with another device using data. An IoT lighting system also enables connectivity and communication between devices within the lighting system and between lighting devices and non-lighting devices.
According to Navigant Research, global market revenue for IoT lighting is expected to grow from $651.1 million in 2017 to $4.5 billion in 2026 whereas McKinsey report projects that the worldwide market for IoT lighting to grow to approximately $159 billion by 2020.
“Technology of connected lighting is new and still evolving in India. Moreover, the emergence of Big Data and the IoT are going to bring much more intelligence into lighting systems,” said Raja Mukherjee, President & Country Head – Illumination, Bajaj Electricals Ltd.
HOW CONNECTED LIGHTING WORKS
Giving a brief about how connected lighting works, Raja Mukherjee said, “Connected lighting can work through wireless media like RF (Radio Frequency), mesh media or through wired media like PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The information gets captured through the sensors and gets communicated through the wireless or wired communication media to a central hub which then passes the information on to the Cloud. At the Cloud, data analytics is done and processed and sent back to the respective users to their smart connected devices such as handheld tablets or smartphones or any smart console.”
