Co-based outdoor smart lighting for energy aware factory

Abstract

Energy awareness together with holistic perception of consumption processes are one of the main factors contributing to efficient and sustainable performance of such complex systems as buildings, cities, and factories. Availability of relevant data and possibility for cross-domain integration become minimum requirements defining the success of the implementation. Emergence of cooperating smart objects, resulting from evolution in IoT and embedded devices, helps achieving both energy awareness and efficiency by offering possibility of sensing and acting over complex environments and overcome challenges associated with cross-domain integration. This chapter describes smart lighting application for the industrial outdoor environment implemented using cooperating objects featuring Semantic Web Service middleware. Presented use-case considers the university campus area comprising multipurpose outdoor area and neighbouring industrial laboratory facilities. The application is aiming efficient use of energy and possibility for integration with relevant industrial systems.
