Echelon Corporation (NASDAQ:ELON), a leading independent control networking company for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), today announced its new LumInsight Central Management System (CMS), a powerful platform that offers customers enterprise-wide support for commissioning, monitoring and controlling strategic lighting retrofits and new installations. When combined with Lumewave by Echelon ™ gateways and controllers, the LumInsight platform can support a range of applications from simple room-level regulatory compliance to enterprise-wide monitoring and control of lighting systems to strategic applications that can enhance asset utilization, customer satisfaction, occupant safety and productivity. Because the Lumewave by Echelon system is open, customers can choose to purchase an end-to-end solution from Echelon, including the new LumInsight CMS platform. Alternatively, they can choose to implement a system that includes third-party elements, mixing and matching components from Echelon as well as third party suppliers. For maximum flexibility, the Lumewave by Echelon solution can be applied to a wide range of fixtures and light sources as well as operating in environments ranging from tunnels to parking garages to open streets and parking lots.

“The rapidly evolving lighting market — as a result of drop in LED prices, increasing energy efficiency standards, and attractive financial returns — is entering into an era of intelligence,” said Apurba Pradhan, Senior Director of Product Management. “The strategic benefit of LED adoption is now becoming realized by networking platforms like LumInsight combined with the Lumewave by Echelon offering. By leveraging different types of sensors and devices, data can be used to manage LED lighting as well as other assets within the installation creating safer and smarter environments for customers.”

The LumInsight CMS platform is shipping today as two offerings: LumInsight Desktop (formerly LumeStar) and the new LumInsight Enterprise 1.0. Both are available worldwide.
