Billion Electric, one of the largest cellular CPE and energy management solution providers in the Asia-Pacific rim, will debut Billion’s Interior Lighting Control and Management System (ILCMS) designed to remotely monitor and manage residential, commercial and industrial luminaries during Computex, Taipei from June 2nd -4th. Incorporating the Billion’s BEsmart Energy Monitoring Cloud and Smartphone APP, operators not only can track the energy consumption of different lighting fixtures, but also schedule certain dimming time to automatically switch lighting on/off to minimize energy waste, boost lighting efficiency and save up utility at an economic cost.

To improve the existing lighting control and help facility managers reduce maintenance expenses, Billion incorporates BEsmart Energy Analytic Cloud and snap-in power controllers to form a comprehensive, eye-catching interior lighting control solution. Billion’s ILCMS, constructed by smart meters, ZigBee/RS-485/3G gateway, lighting controllers, and a Smartphone APP, is highly scalable and flexible.  From one retail space to multiple office locations, ILCMS can be easily tailored to meet a diversity of lighting control demands and achieve a remote, more localized lighting management.

ILCMS serves as an in-depth performance index to test the efficiency of interior light bulbs by presenting the hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly energy consumption of each light fixture in kWh units. Billion's smart meters, designed for both single phase and three phases, measure and accommodate dynamic lighting loads from small to large.  The consumption data is syndicated with a cloud-based server over 3G, Zigbee or Ethernet via a wireless gateway. The energy consumption becomes transparent and will be demonstrated in a diagnostic report with time and location breakdowns on the BEsmart Energy Analytic Cloud.

Through the same smart gateway, operators can set an ideal dimming schedule and user-friendly programmability to control remotely luminaire on a Billion-provided smartphone APP. In-built an active time clock, the smart gateway automatically delivers wireless signals to the lighting controllers deployed inside of the power cabinets and further controls the lighting of a single or groups of lighting circuits. Ranging from a small retail office to commercial buildings. ILCMS provides a firm foundation for remote lighting control and automatic dimming.

"Based on the already-established BEsmart Energy Analytic Cloud, which we launched at the beginning of the year, we further collaborate the advantages of cloud-analytic service with lighting controllers to take this simple automation onto a new level", said, Harry Tsai, Senior Sales Director of Power and Energy Management Division at Billion Electric Co., "We are currently in the development of a cloud-based platform dedicated to the centralize control of multiple lighting fixtures. ILCMS is the most simple, yet the most cost-effective migration which can provide value-added features for system integrators to enhance the capability of lighting control systems".
