Intelligent, fully automatic lighting control - Aktivraum Odem
Advantages for restaurants, shops, offices, public spaces
- No knowledge of software required: we will configure everything for you (also it can easily be adapted for you remotely at any time)
- Power saving by operation within the brightness range only required in each case
- Pleasant light by adapting to the conditions and demands:
(a) brightness,
(b) Coldness of the white light,
(c) for transitions to indoor areas, avoidance of "black hole" or "glare" effects
(d) the industrial control system can also be used for a complete artistic production - For shops and restaurants: higher visibility during the day, more comfort in the evening
- In offices and other workplaces: Improving concentration, tailoring light to human needs
- greater environmental compatibility/less light pollution
- In upgraded stage: additional light art elements can be controlled, interior design with light. Possibility to stage/emphasise certain areas/products separately (e.g. point of sale, promotional products)
- fully automatic operation due to built-in sensor technology
- remote access at any time through router installed in the system. This also allows subsequent modification/adjustment (e.g. because another area is to be put in a particular light)
- Control technology is an industrial standard from Germany, which is used worldwide
- Software is already operational in projects
- DMX, Dali and other control signals can be used simultaneously
- Integration into building management and process control systems possible (but not necessary)
- Latest standard, fit for industry 4.0, read more about interfaces, bus systems etc. here
Aktivraum Odem control modules
Interactive ceiling light control with areas for motion detectors
Hardware and preconfigured software for specific luminaires. Depending on requirements, the delivery includes the components of the industrial control system, luminaires if necessary and the necessary sensor technology (light sensors, motion detectors) as well as DMX splitters for larger systems.
The video shows the functions of the lighting control in the pedestrian underpass Brühl Mitte
The light control software Aktivraum Odem is fit for industry 4.0
Licence
Note for luminaire manufacturers:
It is also possible to purchase only the licence. The software runs on Beckhoff and Wago, but can also be adapted to other control systems and connected to building management systems.
Dali and DMX can be used simultaneously; the system has standardised interfaces and is very easy to operate remotely. Further information can be found on the page Aktivraum lighting control Odem under the heading Industry 4.0
Basic ceiling light control
It is possible to purchase only a usage license or, via a partner, the entire hardware. All software can be adapted remotely. That means it is possible to call us after the setup and customize values individually. Thus, each package includes a router to establish the connection. A SIM card has to be provided by the operator
The software runs on industrial controllers from Beckhoff and Wago, but can also be adapted to other control systems and connected to building control systems and process control systems.
Complex ceiling light control with areas for motion detectors and light art elements
Hardware and preconfigured software for specific luminaires*. The delivery includes the components of the industrial control system, luminaires if necessary and the necessary sensor technology (light sensors, motion detectors) as well as DMX splitters. Motion detectors can be used for individual areas or the entire system, switch luminaires on or dim them up (e.g. for signalling functions or additional power saving and environmental protection).
In addition, control components for lighting art elements are offered, for example for a "light line" of special plexiglass lights through which light pulses flow at different speeds, patterns and colours. These are suitable for attracting attention and giving places a playful, lively element.
Example of a complex light control with light art elements: Please watch the video on our site. It gives the best impression:
Aktivraum services
- Consulting, concept development
- Configuring areas for ceiling luminaires (e.g. different brightness relative to the needs of the location and the natural light coming in, etc.)
- artistic staging
- system is extremely flexible (precisely because it is an industry standard), so it is possible to mix Dali and DMX, offer consoles with user interfaces, etc., install and control other luminaires
Additional energy saving
The following graph (actual values from our Aktivraum Odem control system in Brühl) shows the relationship between the values of the LED luminaires (lines at the top, colour temperature and brightness) at the time of day and natural light (bottom). Since the LED light only shines in the brightness that is sensible at any given time, this results in additional energy savings. Since the LED light constantly adapts, it is also perceived as pleasant. For the artistic lighting design of the underpass in Brühl, we also made sure that high-quality white LEDs were installed, which have very good colour rendering properties.
