All commodities must be able to connect to the Internet, transmit data back to the cloud, and analyze these technologies through artificial intelligence technology in order to bring real value to consumers.


Indeed, these are not imaginations, they have gradually become reality. With the continuous development of technologies such as mobile Internet, Internet of Things, big data and cloud computing, the lighting industry is also changing. In addition to lighting, light has more possibilities, just like the slogan of Philips Lighting " Light, beyond sight."


The Internet era has brought opportunities and great challenges to lighting companies. New competitors are constantly pouring in, and the industry competition pattern has changed. Where will the industry go in the future? At the opening forum of the 2017 Guangzhou International Lighting Fair, leaders from the industry Businesses have the answer.


Huawei: Embracing the Internet of Things to Accelerate the Lighting Revolution


Dr. Zhou Wu, chief technology officer of Huawei's network product line, pointed out at the forum that global lighting occupies 19% of electricity, which has brought enormous pressure to energy. Only by embracing the Internet of Things can the lighting revolution be accelerated. Huawei has created a set of urban lighting solutions and developed multi-layer intelligent lighting control, which can save energy by more than 80%. Through visual management and active maintenance, maintenance costs can be reduced by 90%.


And build an open smart city platform with street lights as a carrier, and realize full coverage of sensor monitoring through sensor interconnection. At the same time, Huawei's open labs have been established in Suzhou, Munich, London, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Paris and other places around the world to establish an agile IoT ecosystem and promote industrial digital transformation.


Philips Lighting: Let light go beyond what you see


As an advocate of intelligent interconnected lighting, how does Philips Lighting do? Shen Xiaohui, general manager of Philips Lighting Greater China Marketing Department, described Philips Lighting's vision for the next decade at the forum: The first is to have suitable light, through light effect, Dynamic, interactive, responsive and other methods make light more in line with the characteristics of the city; the second is the combination of intelligent interconnection and information technology to create new possibilities; the third is to generate new applications to integrate the lighting system into the technological ecosystem of urban management.


In the vision of Philips Lighting in 2030, 100 super cities will be born in the world by then, intelligent interconnected lighting can support a variety of municipal services, city navigation based on status services, robots and drones can realize lighting navigation, urban space transformation For vertical farms, vertical farms reduce the dependence of water and pesticides through light, and smart home devices are fully interconnected.


Oppo Lighting: Creating New Value

He believes that the lighting industry has changed from performance - cost performance - price to new value creation. Oppo has been thinking about how to bring a better lighting experience to consumers, and put it into technological innovation to integrate the most cutting-edge technological concepts into products.


For the future development of OP, Qi Xiaoming put forward three aspects:


The first is that the digital revolution has arrived. With the advancement of smart homes, smart buildings and smart cities, the competition pattern of the global smart market will undergo major changes. The IoT market has huge market prospects, which is the main field for Oppo in the future. .


The second is to pay more attention to lighting design and create value through design. Comfortable lighting needs to be people-oriented, not only the light effect and cost, but also the direct expression of vision, physiology and emotion. All elements of lighting should be considered.


The third is product innovation. In the future, the competition of the strong will not be counted as entry, the competition of the pattern, the competition of technology and talents, all of which require core innovation and micro-innovation.
