"Acuity has expanded its comprehensive set of IoT business
solutions, which includes intelligent luminaires, controls,
software platform services, and development tools. It recently
unveiled Atrius™ IoT Solutions, which combine its
software as a service (SaaS) and cloud platform into a single
identity," said Adrian Drozd,
Research Director. "By digitalising smart LED lighting, sensors,
beacons, and controls into the Atrius™-Ready sensory network,
Acuity Brands provides ubiquitous connectivity as well as a
software platform that transforms raw data into meaningful
information and business applications."
Atrius-Ready smart lighting infrastructure amplifies business
performance and human experience with indoor positioning,
wayfinding, asset tracking, spatial analytics, and space
utilization services. This powerful performance is made possible
through solutions such as:
- Atrius Navigator, a software development kit for mobile
applications
- Atrius Insights, which connects a visitor's path with
detailed spatial data. It generates business analytics for
enriching customer interactions, physical layouts
- Atrius Spaces, which employs occupancy data captured
through the lighting control network to understand the ways in
which people use spaces inside buildings
- Atrius Assets, which combines real-time asset tracking
services with Bluetooth Low Energy technology tags
Using the data unlocked from the Atrius-Ready Sensory Network,
business managers can optimize operations and customer experiences,
notably in retail, aviation, and healthcare applications. Today,
Atrius is moving well beyond the proof of concept stage, deploying
full-scale IoT applications in more than 160 million square feet of
indoor spaces.
"Acuity and its ecosystem of Atrius™ IoT Partners
implement optimized solutions tailored to the specific needs of
different industries, presenting customers with unparalleled levels
of flexibility," noted Drozd. "The company's commitment to
delivering high-quality products and services will help it sustain
its momentum as well as drive its expansion strategies in markets
all over the world."

company that has developed a product with innovative features and
functionality that is gaining rapid market acceptance. The award
recognizes the quality of the solution and the customer value
enhancements it enables.
