    Our strategic alliances: partnering with global experts


    Signify has formed strategic alliances with global technology experts to co-develop new propositions for our connected lighting systems. Using energy efficient LED lighting, sensors, network technology, software applications and data analytics, we’re delivering new value-added benefits and services for our customers.

    By partnering with Cisco, we’re enabling the Internet of Things in offices by integrating Cisco’s highly secure, robust IT network infrastructure and Power over Ethernet technology with our Interact Office connected lighting system.
     
    Cisco’s robust network technology enables a connected network of LED luminaires with built-in sensors to collect, send and receive data. This gives facilities and operations managers maximum visibility of space usage and ultimate control over lighting – while minimizing energy consumption and associated costs.

    Vodafone and Signify are helping to empower your city

     

    Partnering with Vodafone has allowed us to create an M2M-based municipal connected lighting system that lets city authorities monitor and control street lighting via our cloud-based management system, CityTouch.

    Philips CityTouch collects accurate location and lighting status data in real time via Vodafone M2M SIM cards embedded in the streetlights. City authorities can use this information to expedite maintenance troubleshooting street light outages remotely, reducing cost and improving operations.

    Philips and SAP team up to make cities smarter


    Together with SAP SE, we are delivering on our vision for smarter cities by harnessing the Internet of Things and integrating information from Philips connected street lights with data from other city ERM systems in a single integrated city dashboard. By linking Philips CityTouch street lighting management system with real-time situational awareness based on the SAP HANA® platform, city authorities have a 360-degree view of data such as street lighting, parking and traffic controls.

     

    Using data visualization and analytics tools, city authorities can plan more efficiently and manage costs, while historical data can provide insights into trends and improve long-term planning.

    Ericsson


    Our partnership with Ericsson brings smart cities closer through a connected street lighting model that offers city officials an innovative way to afford energy efficient LED lighting to meet sustainability goals, and enables network operators to offer improved city-wide mobile broadband and app coverage.

     

    Philips SmartPoles are equipped with small cell LTE technology from Ericsson, enabling 4G/LTE connectivity. This lets city authorities control street lighting systems wirelessly to meet changing resident needs and urban conditions. And citizens benefit from improved mobile network coverage for data communications and enhanced safety with brighter, well-lit streets.

    Self-reporting outages

    By connecting 100,000 street lights, the City of Los Angeles increased efficiency of maintenance crews while taking the next step to a smarter city.

    Zebra Technologies

     

    Customers of Interact Indoor navigation, such as Albert Heijn and MediaMarktSaturn, offer a smartphone app to help shoppers locate products in their stores and streamline the shopping experience. Zebra Technologies launched a range of Interact Indoor navigation compatible devices for shoppers self check-out and staff in retail, warehousing and logistics.
     

    With the staff devices, retailers are able to automatically generate a product-location database while the shelves are replenished. This enhances planogram compliance in a simple and scalable manner. The devices also enable staff to more efficiently perform order picking, and to guide shoppers to the products they are looking for.
     

    The Zebra devices enrich the Interact Indoor navigation analytics dashboard, providing format management and store owners rich insight how their stores are utilized. The Interact Indoor navigation analytics dashboard provides insights on footfall, density, and dwell time.

    PointGrab

     

    As a strategic investor in PointGrab, we’re helping businesses to optimize their office space by integrating PointGrab’s industry-leading sensor technology for smart buildings into our connected lighting systems. 

     

    PointGrab’s smart sensing solution gives building managers precise insights about how workers use offices. This allows them to make building operations more efficient, optimizing floor space and energy use to improve sustainability and reduce cost. They can also align office space to worker behaviors and preferences, adjusting office layout, lighting, temperature control and cleaning services to promote productivity and wellbeing.
