At work, at home, even on the beach: log in anywhere to control
Philips LED connected lighting systems
NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)
Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), the global leader in lighting,
today announced the commercial availability of Philips ActiveSite, a
cloud-based connected lighting management platform that allows Philips
Color Kinetics architectural LED lighting systems to be monitored,
maintained, managed and content, such as light shows, to be uploaded
from anywhere in the world. A first of its kind, Philips ActiveSite was
recently installed at such iconic structures as Madison Square Garden in
New York and has also been adopted as part of the Tappan Zee lighting
project.
Philips ActiveSite allows remote diagnostics of Philips Color Kinetics
systems, helping to ensure uptime and optimal performance for
high-profile sites. The system also has the capability to generate
custom reports, on data such as fixture status, system properties, and
asset management. Because Philips ActiveSite is a cloud-based, software
as a service (SaaS) platform, it allows for access to installations from
anywhere where there is an internet connection, even from tablet
devices. In addition, there is minimal investment in hardware or
software costs and bug fixes and new features are seamlessly updated to
the software, eliminating many of the challenges and costs associated
with lighting management systems.
Authorized users of Philips ActiveSite can monitor one or multiple
lighting installations from a single dashboard, where they can configure
email alerts for notification of system anomalies or perform data
analytics for historic system performance. This also allows users to
determine the exact location of an issue, such as damage to electrical
circuits from falling ice or lighting strikes, and effectively dispatch
maintenance crews to address any concerns. For customers that want all
of the benefits with none of the hassle, Philips or its authorized
partners can also offer turn-key services, handling everything from
installation to commissioning to ongoing monitoring and programming of
the system.
In addition to remote monitoring, Philips ActiveSite has robust content
management capabilities, allowing authorized Philips ActiveSite system
users to change scenes, effects and light shows on the fly. It allows
lighting content to be scheduled and even triggered by certain events,
enabling site managers to acknowledge special occasions, like a home
sports team win, celebrate holidays and react to other key moments in
time such as Breast Cancer or Autism awareness, quickly and cost
effectively. Moreover, content can even be uploaded or controlled from
any authorized remote PC or tablet device.
“At Philips, we continue to harness the power of LED technology, taking
it beyond the structure and into the cloud to allow for a tailored
system that can meet a location’s unique needs, monitor system
performance, and give unprecedented control, all without having to be
onsite,” said Amy Huntington, President of Philips Lighting Americas.
“Whether it’s a brilliant way to honor Memorial Day or a Yankees win,
Philips ActiveSite makes it easier for lighting designers, site managers
and authorized lighting programmers to remotely access the system
management software and easily address concerns or make changes. And
with the addition of our turn-key services, organizations can even opt
to leave the management to Philips or its authorized partners.”
