Signify, formerly Philips Lighting, announced added features for its Interact platform at this month’s Light + Building show in Frankfurt.

These can help businesses and municipalities make buildings smarter and cities more responsive and sustainable, driven by data.

“Connected lighting systems have become a central element of buildings and cities,” said Greg Nelson, executive vice president at Dutch firm Signify. “By adding sensors and wireless controls, we enable intelligent systems that can deliver greater energy savings and data-enabled options both in and beyond lighting. Interact helps customers move beyond illumination towards adaptive, data-driven systems and digital ceilings designed around how people live and work. Connecting indoor and outdoor lighting with real-time data and insights empowers building owners and cities to operate more efficiently and adapt to changing conditions, while reducing energy and operational costs. The result is more efficient buildings, safer roads and more resilient urban environments.” 

Used in more than 40,000 projects worldwide,Interact is a connected lighting platform that transforms buildings into intelligent environments. It provides building owners and facility managers with insights and control across their lighting infrastructure.

The latest Interact buildings suite enables centralised, real-time monitoring, automation and optimisation of lighting for all types of professional indoor spaces, large and small. By combining connected lighting with data insights, Interact improves building performance, streamlines operations, reduces installation costs, enhances occupant experiences and delivers energy savings that support sustainability goals. Facility managers, lighting designers and installers can benefit from the smart, scalable and integrated features of the Interact buildings suite (www.signify.com/global/interact-for-intelligent-buildings).

Signify also launched three offerings designed to transform outdoor lighting and urban infrastructure:

• TheEasyConnect hybrid and cellular outdoor light management simplifies the deployment of connected outdoor lighting, enabling fast and flexible installation without complex wiring or infrastructure changes. This helps cities and utilities accelerate the transition to smart lighting while reducing installation time and cost.
• The CMS central management system lets operators monitor, control and manage outdoor lighting networks remotely from a single platform. Access to real-time visibility and performance data can improve maintenance efficiency, reduce energy use and ensure consistent lighting performance across cities and road networks.
• Traffic and weather adaptive lighting systems dynamically adjust light levels based on traffic conditions. By responding to real-time activity rather than fixed schedules, the system improves road safety while reducing energy use, ensuring light is delivered where and when it is needed.
