At work, at home, even on the beach: log in anywhere to control
Philips LED connected lighting systems
Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), the global leader in
lighting, today announced the commercial availability of Philips
ActiveSite, a cloud-based connected lighting management platform
that allows Philips Color Kinetics architectural LED lighting
systems to be monitored, maintained, managed and content, such as
light shows, to be uploaded from anywhere in the world. A first of
its kind, Philips ActiveSite was recently installed at such iconic
structures as Madison Square Garden in New York and has also been
adopted as part of the Tappan Zee lighting project.
Philips ActiveSite allows remote diagnostics of Philips Color
Kinetics systems, helping to ensure uptime and optimal performance
for high-profile sites. The system also has the capability to
generate custom reports, on data such as fixture status, system
properties, and asset management. Because Philips ActiveSite is a
cloud-based, software as a service (SaaS) platform, it allows for
access to installations from anywhere where there is an internet
connection, even from tablet devices. In addition, there is minimal
investment in hardware or software costs and bug fixes and new
features are seamlessly updated to the software, eliminating many
of the challenges and costs associated with lighting management
systems.
Authorized users of Philips ActiveSite can monitor one or
multiple lighting installations from a single dashboard, where they
can configure email alerts for notification of system anomalies or
perform data analytics for historic system performance. This also
allows users to determine the exact location of an issue, such as
damage to electrical circuits from falling ice or lighting strikes,
and effectively dispatch maintenance crews to address any concerns.
For customers that want all of the benefits with none of the
hassle, Philips or its authorized partners can also offer turn-key
services, handling everything from installation to commissioning to
ongoing monitoring and programming of the system.
In addition to remote monitoring, Philips ActiveSite has robust
content management capabilities, allowing authorized Philips
ActiveSite system users to change scenes, effects and light shows
on the fly. It allows lighting content to be scheduled and even
triggered by certain events, enabling site managers to acknowledge
special occasions, like a home sports team win, celebrate holidays
and react to other key moments in time such as Breast Cancer or
Autism awareness, quickly and cost effectively. Moreover, content
can even be uploaded or controlled from any authorized remote PC or
tablet device.
“At Philips, we continue to harness the power of LED technology,
taking it beyond the structure and into the cloud to allow for a
tailored system that can meet a location’s unique needs, monitor
system performance, and give unprecedented control, all without
having to be onsite,” said Amy Huntington, President of Philips
Lighting Americas. “Whether it’s a brilliant way to honor Memorial
Day or a Yankees win, Philips ActiveSite makes it easier for
lighting designers, site managers and authorized lighting
programmers to remotely access the system management software and
easily address concerns or make changes. And with the addition of
our turn-key services, organizations can even opt to leave the
management to Philips or its authorized partners.”
