Artificial Intelligence (AI) x light management
Artificial intelligence is emerging as a major force in almost every industry, capable of radically changing existing processes. The world of lighting management is no exception!
The role of AI in lighting
Artificial intelligence can be widely applied within lighting management systems and it affects both the design and the installation and configuration of the system.
AI enables a self-learning lighting network. A self-learning lighting system, such as our ActiveAhead system, is a fine-grained network of nodes and sensors that learn patterns in a building. This enables the system to control lighting efficiently without any configuration. This saves time because it does not need to be commissioned, and it also ensures very low downtime when replacing old lighting for energy-efficient and intelligent lighting.
Because a self-learning light management system constantly learns from its environment, the parameters can be constantly adjusted to suit the people in the building. This makes a great contribution to the comfort and well-being of the people in the building.
AI & data
Lighting is present in every room in a building. By applying sensors in the lighting system, an enormous amount of useful data can be collected about the use of the building. By processing this data in a powerful platform such as Helvar Insights, valuable insights can be created.
Thanks to AI algorithms, data can be analysed and configurations made automatically. Sensor times can be automatically optimised to maximise energy savings because lighting is never on unnecessarily.
By integrating with other systems in a building, such as a BMS or security system, the data collected and AI algorithms can also be used by these systems. As a result, a room can, for example, be heated even before people start using it.
AI & privacy
Despite all the advantages of artificial intelligence, there are also flaws. Cameras equipped with AI can detect precise occupancy and movements in a room but the visual images require strict compliance with privacy laws. Fortunately, since an intelligent light management system usually works with PIR sensors for motion detection, there are few concerns about the privacy of people in a building.
