Joern Ploennigs is Research Scientist & Manager for cognitive IoT for buildings and environment at IBM Research – Ireland. In his article, he explains the transition from intelligent to cognitive buildings. Cognitive buildings are the next generation of sustainable building systems as they automatically integrate, analyse and learn from the vast amount of IoT generated […]
More and more, the Internet is being expanded by the ability to connect smart objects, and it thus increasingly helps people to perform their everyday tasks, usually without them being aware of it. Welcome to the Internet of Things! It all began with the use of individual sensors, which are now being networked with a […]

EnOcean will market its complete product portfolio of energy harvesting wireless modules and white label products with EnOcean wireless technology on the sub 1 GHz band and for use in ZigBee and BLE systems on the 2.4 GHz frequency band under the brand name “Dolphin – Self-powered IoT by EnOcean.” Networked devices form the basis […]
Beacons are special transmitters that emit short wireless telegrams in the briefest possible time intervals – much like a lighthouse. The use of these transmitters has been growing rapidly for a number of years now. As the number of beacons in the Internet of Things (IoT) increases, so does the demand for self-powered, maintenance-free solutions. […]
Easy and cost-effective The EnOcean Switch Design Kit (ESDK) is aimed primarily at the maker community. Makers need attractive prototypes that can be produced as quickly as possible with the least amount of effort. While the implementation of a housing used to require a design expert and an outlay of several tens of thousands of […]
Hinter dem Begriff „Smart Home“ stecken viele Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Dabei muss es nicht immer gleich die Steuerung via Smartphone sein. Als Einstieg kann bereits ein frei positionierbarer Schalter, ohne Kabel und Batterien, eine angenehme Hilfe im Alltag sein. Hier mal ein paar Anregungen: Einfacher Start mit nur zwei Produkten Für einzelne intelligente Lösungen reichen bereits ein […]
Energy harvesting wireless technology allows various switches and sensors to work without wires or batteries. They can be installed in less than ten minutes, as opposed to traditional switches, which can take 3 hours and 20 minutes (since you have to open up walls, run wires, install the switch, fix the hole, repaint, etc). What […]
Im Oktober und November war die batterielose Funktechnologie auf Tour. In insgesamt sieben deutschen Städten gab es für Planer, Architekten, Installateure, Facility Manager und alle anderen Interessierten kompaktes Wissen zu den Möglichkeiten und Trends der Gebäudeautomation. Gleichzeitig konnten sie persönliche Kontakte mit Systemberatern der Hersteller knüpfen. Aus der Praxis für die Praxis An allen Veranstaltungsorten […]
René Jung von der tci GmbH hat an der EnOcean-Tour in Frankfurt/Main im The Squaire teilgenommen und einen schönen Beitrag zum Einsatz von EnOcean in Gewerbegebäuden im tci- Blog veröffentlicht: http://www.tci.de/blog/2015/enocean-im-gewerbebau/
For centuries, people have been looking for ways to store electrical energy so that it can be used later on. While batteries offer a way to do this, they also have many weaknesses. Energy harvesting, on the other hand, uses sources of energy that are available in the immediate surroundings, anywhere and anytime. This technology […]
Bati journal TV discussed the question “What is a Smart Building?” at BATIMAT 2015. Emmanuel François, in charge of the Business Development of the EnOcean Alliance in Europe, characterizes a Smart Building as a connected, digitalized system, which is flexible and modular. This means that it needs to be a global vision connecting all building […]
