In a groundbreaking move toward advancing smart building solutions, industry leaders Sally R, a pioneer in smart building control, leading sensor supplier ELSYS, and indoor solar cell manufacturer Epishine have joined forces to provide a complete solution. The collaboration is simplifying sustainable building practices, where all aspects of smart building management are taken into consideration. Importantly, this partnership underscores indoor solar cells as a pivotal power source for sensors, marking a new era in building optimization.
In the age of IoT, Sally R, ELSYS, and Epishine recognize the need for sustainable solutions to power sensors that drive intelligent building management. This partnership signifies a shared commitment to a greener and more efficient IoT landscape, promising endless opportunities for future developments.
"Embracing innovation is part of our journey towards a more sustainable and efficient smart building landscape. Our collaboration with ELSYS and Epishine represents a step in this direction," said Erik Vallgårda, COO at Sally R.
In practical implementation,Sally R has deployed these innovative sensors alongside conventional battery-powered counterparts at a major shopping mall in Stockholm. Supported by Netmore's IoT network, this project provides crucial insights into the performance and potential enhancements of self-powered sensors.
Johan Haake, CTO at ELSYS emphasizes the environmental significance of their innovation, stating, "Traditional batteries come with environmental challenges. By capturing indoor light, we aim to revolutionize sensors and building optimization for a more sustainable future."
Self-powered sensors not only reduce the environmental impact associated with battery production, usage, and disposal but also facilitate optimization without the hassles of batteries and the complexity of wired solutions. These sensors operate seamlessly with indoor lighting, ensuring consistent data collection without the need for maintenance. Over time, substantial savings can be realized by eliminating the costs of battery procurement, replacement, and disposal, further enhanced by Sally R's optimization services.
"Light-powered sensors offer an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative. Combining our expertise with Sally R and ELSYS enables a complete solution for building facilities" said Mattias Josephson VP Business Development at Epishine.
This collaboration epitomizes the synergy between software, sensor technology, IoT connectivity, and indoor solar cell manufacturing. Sally R, ELSYS, and Epishine are not only innovating but are also setting a new sustainability standard in sustainable buildings.
