Philips unveils sensor-ready system for connected office lighting




We’ve already seen Philips’s clever indoor lighting platform that acts as a fine-grained indoor location-tracking system for shops, but now the Dutch conglomerate is preparing to unveil something for the office. This week at the Light + Building show in Frankfurt, Germany, Philips will take the wraps off its connected office lighting system. The LED light fixtures are all hooked up to the building’s IT network through their wiring – it’s Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), which provides just enough juice for low-power LEDs – and can also include sensors for monitoring humidity and temperature, as well as for judging when a room is occupied or not.
