On the way for Osram’s high-tech company transformation, smart lighting and building applications are parts of the core development of the company. It has announced the launch of its IoT platform for the lighting and building market.

Lightelligence is the platform developed by Osram which includes a far-reaching development environment for IoT solutions and applications. Users of the platform can draw on a fully developed software infrastructure and are not required to set up anything themselves. The IoT platform is much like an app store, where users can individually and flexibly combine the necessary software components for the respective application.

As Lightelligence is specially designed to meet the needs of the light and building market, bringing together smart control systems in buildings and enables sensors to exploit data multiple times. The platform also systematically takes an eco-system approach, offers open interfaces and lays the groundwork for collaboration that extends beyond system boundaries.

The system has been selected by EDEKA to be used in one of its Berlin stores since November. The project focuses on intelligent retail services based on an intelligent lighting infrastructure and, in collaboration with Nokia, on broadband communication services. The installation includes a guest Wi-Fi for customers, indoor navigation, customer flow and conversion rate analysis and environmental sensors for temperature, humidity and CO2 levels in the ambient air. Lightelligence combines the data of all applications and facilitates interactive analysis with the help of such technologies as machine learning.
