Self-powered BLE beacons: the lighthouses of the IoT Beacons are special transmitters that emit short wireless telegrams in the briefest possible time intervals – much like a lighthouse. The use of these transmitters has been growing rap- idly for a number of years now. As the number of beacons in the Internet of Things (IoT) increases, so does the demand for self-powered, maintenance-free solutions.

Internet of Things – identifying

and seizing trends opportunities

Consider the following: a major manufacturer of DSL routers upgrades its products so that they support the EnOcean wireless protocol. Or Z-Wave. Or digitalstrom. Or Bluetooth. Or all protocols at once and even others. As a result, this router can communicate directly with corresponding sensors and actuators in the building. If a small applica- tion program is also added to the router, making it possible to visualize states and turn actuators on and off from an app, this router then becomes a versatile smart home controller.

Bespoke lighting control system à la carte

The Italian company NTK Europe has engaged Helvar S.r.l. to adapt and modernize the company standards as well as the lighting. They developed a lighting control system that can be integrated into other automation systems to reduce operating costs and increase the comfort of employees.

By Maria Chiara Salvanelli, Public Relations, Helvar S.r.l. Italy 31

Founded in 1997, the Italian company NTK Europe specializes in producing high-precision mechanical components from customer drawings and operates mainly in the hydraulic applica- tions segment.

The company has two buildings in operation in Brandico, near Brescia, in Italy, housing produc- tion and administration facilities.

From pilot project to company standard The lighting project – made by Alessandro Baresi – kicked off with a preliminary study on the economic costs of management that led to the decision to use high efficiency dimmable LED sources, almost everywhere in the areas, and regulate them through a control system.

The work started with an initial pilot project, which involved the newest plant. The results were more than satisfactory, so the company decided to continue and upgrade all lighting at the NTK headquarters. A competition Batteryless and wireless solutions provide optimal and energy-efficient lighting. won by everybody working in the team showed the company management that a flexible and adaptable system can be more effective and efficient when it comes to energy savings and visual comfort.

EnOcean lighting solution contributes to the preservation of cultural assets

Looking ahead to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan has turned its attention to the tourism industry and urban renewal in particular.

EnOcean devices are easy and fast to install. Although they feature a wide range of functions, they are intuitive to confi gure and do not require any manufacturer- specifi c knowledge. This avoids confi guration errors, and installers need only one step to meet their goal of making customers happy in the long term.

These are the expectations of the market for smart homes and the Internet of Things. On top of this come the electronic planning and documentation of the EnOcean installation.

It is aimed at providing a unique product identifi cation across manufacturers, an electronic product description, a standard teach-in process and wireless confguration without any manual device operation.
