Lighting is one of the major uses of electrical power on a daily basis around the world. Statistically speaking, between 20 and 50 percent of the total energy consumed in homes and offices is used for lighting. What most people don’t realize is that over 90 percent of the lighting energy expense used for most buildings and homes is wasted due to over-illumination. In addition, in commercial applications such as office buildings, it can often be difficult, without human involvement, to monitor which bulbs may be burned out and need replacement, causing an unbalanced lighting situation.

The customer in this case study is a manufacturer of lighting systems looking to create cloud-connected versions of their products. These manufacturers aim to leverage IoT technology to enhance the functionality and efficiency of their lighting systems. By integrating cloud connectivity, they seek to offer advanced features such as remote monitoring, automated control, and predictive maintenance. The goal is to reduce energy wastage, improve operational efficiency, and provide value-added services to their customers. These manufacturers operate on a large scale, often serving commercial buildings, office spaces, and other large facilities where efficient lighting management is crucial.

Ayla enables lighting manufacturers to create cloud-connected versions of their lighting systems that are part of the Internet of Things (IoT). The Ayla IoT Platform provides comprehensive device, cloud, and mobile app connectivity. It allows lighting manufacturers to bring secure, reliable connected products to market quickly and easily, in a cost-effective manner. Connected lighting systems generate operational data—specific to each product’s performance—that can be analyzed and used to monitor and adjust load to reduce demand during peak periods. This data also enables manufacturers to improve future versions of their lighting products based on real-world knowledge of current products’ performance. Additionally, the platform offers value-added services, ranging from warranty to maintenance, and can monitor and alert on outages in lighting systems.
