[Practical experience] Design ideas for garage IoT lighting solutions
A client asks me, how to make a garage IoT lighting solution?, I usually ask the client "Why do you want to do IoT lighting?" from another perspective, and the client often says, "How can I get the bidding document for the project in hand", Or "there is a property customer who wants to do garage IoT lighting but doesn't know how to come up with a solution". The customer very much hopes that I can give him a professional IoT lighting solution.
In fact, professional solutions do not come from the superposition of technologies, but from the in-depth understanding and insight of customer needs.
The various needs encountered by friends, such as project bidding documents, such as property lighting intentions, etc., these needs do not come out of thin air. Under normal circumstances, some manufacturers have entered the design institute or entered the relationship between Party A. .Keywords appearing in some schemes, such as "cycle on", "two lights on one", "complete switching within 15 seconds", "no less than 1000 lights can be individually numbered in a group", "365-day lighting plan"" "Joint sensor lights" and so on, behind these words all point to the products of specific manufacturers. If we know which manufacturer the bidding documents came from, we can make corresponding plans and product quotations.
Friends who have encountered a similar situation, do not know what to do, you can communicate with me, and I may help you solve this problem.
After a deep understanding of customer needs, we can come up with a professional garage IoT lighting solution.
In the garage, IoT light solutions are roughly divided into two categories, one is a local offline operation solution, and the other is a remote control solution. The remote control solution includes a local deployment solution and a cloud platform solution. The cloud platform solution has the advantages of "low cost, It is widely used because of its simplicity and ease of use, and it is easy to connect to third-party platforms.
Compared with the wired smart lighting solution or the central control smart lighting solution, the IoT lighting solution has the characteristics of "quick, simple, convenient and cheap". In the central control solution, the sensor and the smart lighting are the perception layer and the execution layer respectively, while the In the IoT solution, the IoT light integrates the functions of "perception, control, and execution". When the condition is triggered, it can quickly link the nearby IoT lights, transmit signals quickly, and quickly and intelligently self-process according to the preset algorithm. Therefore, the response time is low. Shorter and faster. The whole system is integrated into an IoT light, and standardized lamps are easy to mass-produce, and the cost will be greatly reduced; there is no cumbersome system, and the use and maintenance are also simple. The IoT light passes mttq It is very easy to connect standard protocols to third-party platforms.
The following is a more detailed introduction to the lighting scheme of the IoT light garage.
In the garage, the movement of people and cars triggers the IoT lights. The IoT lights quickly link the lamps in the group through the mesh (ad hoc network) protocol to realize welcome lighting. After people or cars leave or stop, the IoT lights will be delayed. When the brightness becomes low, energy-saving lighting is realized. A good solution must start from creating value for customers. Therefore, we must analyze who the customers are and what value they have.
The customers involved in the garage IoT lights not only point to the owners who enter the garage, but also include the property, the project party, and stakeholders. Their needs are different. The owner's comfortable lighting needs, the property's energy saving needs and simple operation and maintenance needs, The project party's branding needs and social communication needs
Focusing on the value required by 4 types of customers, IoT lights meet the needs from 3 aspects.
Lighting demand: comfortable and healthy lighting, welcome lighting, high-end demand
Energy saving requirements: position energy saving, state energy saving, delay control energy saving, group control energy saving
Operation and maintenance requirements: easy to replace, simple to exit the network and enter the network
The above is the local solution of self-intelligence. "Human-garage-IoT light" has added cloud platform elements, and the IoT light has been upgraded from "local self-intelligence to cloud intelligence", and the customer value provided by cloud intelligence has also undergone tremendous changes.
Lighting needs: comfortable and healthy lighting, welcome lighting, high-end needs, lighting navigation
Energy saving requirements: position energy saving, state energy saving, delay control energy saving, group control energy saving, time control energy saving
Operation and maintenance requirements: active maintenance, state health, energy consumption data
Value-added needs: security linkage, positioning and navigation, asset tracking, big data display, platform docking
The value of cloud intelligence, we look at it from another perspective, has more management value. Here we introduce a word "process". What is the process? Process is the end-to-end activity link that creates value for customers. The IoT platform can connect multiple processes User needs, from the perspective of energy saving, have realized the upgrade from product technology energy saving to company management energy saving.
Let us summarize that the customer's "lighting needs", "energy saving needs" and "operation and maintenance needs" correspond to the "intelligence", "informatization" and "visualization" of the Internet of Things. Modern underground garages, in the development of IoT lighting technology, have realized "Perceptible", "developable" and "evolvable" also make the underground garage lighting have more temperature.
