With the world undergoing the largest expansion of urban growth in history, infrastructures,
cities, buildings and homes are being driven to become intelligent to optimize resources
and improve the quality of life. To successfully meet the challenges that come with these
huge social, economic and environmental transformations, commercial and residential
buildings are being connected to each other and to the Cloud to get smarter and more
aware of water, electric, and disposal needs as well as resident safety and convenience.
This is enabling a healthy and productive environment that optimizes energy efficiency,
environmental impact, safety and security.
Today's new Smart City intelligent systems use sensors, embedded processing (including
AI capabilities) and wired and wireless connectivity solutions along with state-of-the-art
analog power management technologies to make buildings and homes smarter, safer
and more eco-friendly. Engineers face many challenges in delivering smart building
technologies, ranging from selecting the right products, ensuring security of the data and IP,
and inter-operability while minimizing time and cost. Balancing competing priorities creates
market opportunities that push Engineers to look for proven solutions in their particular use
case along with a mature ecosystem to ease adoption of their solutions in the market.
This publication aims to use our innovative technologies to inspire developers to use
every possible means to optimize resources and improve the quality of life in and around
commercial buildings, offices and homes cost effectively.
