Signify – Leader in Smart Connected Lighting
Philips Lighting has long been well-known as an established brand in Malaysia since the 1970s. With a firm footing in the country and continued growth as a global lighting leader, Philips Lighting changed its company name to Signify on 16 May 2018. The new company name originates from the way light has become an intelligent language that connects and conveys meaning. It is part of the company’s strategic vision and purpose to unlock the extraordinary potential of light for brighter lives and a better world.
In addition to its wide applications of services, Interact IoT platform allows customers to easily manage and remotely control user and device security, authentication, and authorisation for its connected lighting system. Its intelligent connected lighting utilises Open API to enable its lighting software and system architecture to share data back and forth between LED light points and embedded sensor networks. This creates useful real-time, historical, and predictive analytics, such as alerting store managers when products require restocking, or providing lighted indoor navigation for staff and customers in retail and office spaces.
