CrowdVision and Pointr are teaming up to enable safe distancing and contact tracing in airports. “We’re combining our two platforms to create a ‘safe return to airport’ solution with contact tracing, and to provide insights regarding occupancy and congestion. This gives airports a tool to bring passenger confidence back and improve safety around the terminal. […]
Hundreds of millions of people acquire HCAIs (health care–associated infections) each year, including 7 percent of hospital patients in developed countries and 10 percent in developing countries, the World Health Organization has reported.
DALI is a field-proven and ubiquitous lighting control technology. But how do you easily retrofit DALI control lines? And how can you get the benefits of Bluetooth mesh wireless with an existing DALI installation? Learn how technologies such as Zumtobel’s bmLINK enable wireless control and explore real-world installations such as a major logistics center in […]
Bluetooth® mesh is disrupting and revolutionizing lighting control. In this special session, we’ll look at the opportunities and benefits, and refer to real-world projects including the installation at Osram’s HQ in Munich.
“When we invest in infrastructure, we need it to be reliable!” – said every buyer of all infrastructure projects ever.
