ATLANTA -
October 17, 2017 -- Acuity Brands, Inc.
(NYSE: AYI) announced today LocusLabs, Inc. has joined the
Atrius(TM) Internet of Things (IoT) partner ecosystem. LocusLabs
plans to enable its location-as-a-service platform to take
advantage of the Atrius IoT platform's location-based services
(LBS) and indoor positioning services (IPS). LocusMaps, the
LocusLabs indoor mapping and navigation application, powers
navigation in hundreds of millions of mobile devices used at
airports, retail malls, multi-floor buildings and campuses, making
it easy to search, discover and navigate large, complex indoor
spaces.
Atrius Navigator, the Atrius platform service software development
kit, enables the development of mobile applications that can use
data from the Atrius Sensory Network to provide LBS and IPS.
The Atrius Sensory Network is powered by luminaires enabled with
Atrius, featuring embedded Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) and Visible
Light Communication (VLC) technologies, acting as all-in-one access
points for indoor and adjacent outdoor environments. The benefit of
using the Atrius IoT platform for indoor positioning is that the
communication technology is embedded in LED luminaires, making it
unnecessary to have additional components like stand-alone beacons
that require separate installation, maintenance and
power.
Leveraging the Atrius IoT platform, LocusLabs plans to develop
upgraded mapping and pathing applications that deliver a superior
navigation experience for visitors, while enhancing business
operations through improved traffic flows and faster
time-to-destination. "Through its Atrius IoT platform offering,
Acuity Brands is incorporating location-based services into the
fabric of buildings, and a ubiquitous solution is exactly what is
needed going forward for an optimal user experience," said Campbell
Kennedy, CEO & Co-Founder of LocusLabs, Inc. "By using Atrius
IoT services and sensory network, LocusLabs' location-as-a-service
software platform can deliver the most accessible solution in the
market for all building stakeholders
to leverage their smart building investment."
