Echelon Earns Recognition in 2017 Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Progress Report

August 17, 2017

Echelon Corp, the original Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) company, has announced that the IES Progress Committee has recognized the Echelon Insight Cognitive Vision System for inclusion in the 2017 Progress Report. Each year, products, research and activities that showcase significant technical advancement in the art and science of lighting are honored. 

Lina brings to SLV a wealth of business experience which includes sales, manufacturing, operations and customer service management. Most recently, Lina worked for 10 years at CREE Lighting Inc. in Raleigh, North Carolina. Her various sales and customer service roles with CREE will enable her to quickly and effectively manage her new position.

“We are excited by the customer response to this cutting-edge new technology, which marries artificial intelligence with street light based sensors to drive improved lighting and energy savings.  We’re honored to be recognized by the IES for this innovation,” said Ron Sege, Echelon CEO and Chairman.

Echelon Corporation recently unveiled this patent-pending cognitive vision-based technology that can enable a wide range of smart city and safe campus applications. The Echelon InSight system utilizes artificial intelligence in vision-enabled edge devices, optimized for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications.

The first application of Echelon’s new technology has been to provide traffic-adaptive lighting in Spokane, Washington. The InSight Cognitive Vision System was deployed on traffic intersection streetlights where it analyzes traffic flows and intelligently adjusts light levels to enhance safety while reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs. With the InSight system, each unit analyzes video streams locally and makes decisions about what light levels to set based on traffic volumes and conditions, triggering higher levels during peak hours and lowering light levels during non-peak hours. The solution leverages Echelon’s industry-leading connected streetlight control system, along with the trend by cities and campuses to upgrade to LED lighting.

LED streetlight conversions typically reduce electricity consumption by 50 percent while maintaining the same or better light levels. Adding Echelon’s connected lighting control system can reduce consumption by an additional 30 to 40 percent by allowing intelligent traffic-adaptive lighting driven by the InSight Cognitive Vision System.
