LS Electric Signs MOU for Smart Wireless Lighting Business... Full-Scale Push for Energy Savings

Collaboration with LS Sowta and Merlo Lab
At Least 30% Reduction in Lighting Energy
Advancing Energy Efficiency in Factories and Logistics Centers

LS Electric is set to significantly expand its smart wireless lighting business, which can reduce lighting energy consumption by at least 30%.

On the 26th, LS Electric announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with LS Sowta and Merlo Lab at LS Tower in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, to cooperate on projects aimed at reducing energy consumption and improving operational efficiency using smart wireless lighting systems. The announcement was made on the 27th.

The signing ceremony was attended by Woo-beom Park, Executive Director of LS Electric, Sung-yong Kim, CEO of LS Sowta, So-bong Shin, CEO of Merlo Lab, and other key officials. The parties discussed plans to jointly market and expand the smart wireless lighting solution business.

LS Electric will be responsible for discovering customers and planning business opportunities linked to energy efficiency projects, as well as leading the development of AI-based features. LS Sowta will handle system integration, including interconnection between facilities, data collection, system construction, and operation and maintenance, leveraging its system integration capabilities. Merlo Lab will be in charge of developing and producing lighting device hardware (OEM), as well as providing control software, communication technology support, and quality assurance.

Smart wireless lighting is characterized by its built-in communication module, which allows for individual control without the need for separate communication wiring. Compared to traditional wired control systems, it is easier to install and maintain and can flexibly respond to changes in spatial configuration or facility expansion.

The company explained that, by illuminating only the necessary areas and maintaining only the required brightness, lighting energy can be reduced by at least 30%. This is expected to attract customers who seek both energy efficiency and lower operating costs. Optimal operation according to usage patterns in each space makes it possible to maximize energy efficiency.

Furthermore, the system is not limited to simple lighting control; it can also collect and analyze a variety of operational data, making it highly useful for building smart factory and smart building environments. Comprehensive implementation is possible for 'smart safety management' through worker safety monitoring, 'smart asset management' based on tracking the location of mobile assets, and 'smart lighting control' that collects and analyzes illumination levels and lighting status by space in real time to maintain uniform lighting.

LS Electric plans to target the market focusing on industries where power consumption and operational efficiency are critical, such as data centers, factories, buildings, and logistics centers.

An LS Electric official stated, "With the proliferation of AI data centers and smart factories, demand for energy efficiency and operational optimization is rapidly increasing. Through our integrated solution that combines smart wireless lighting with FEMS (Factory Energy Management System) leasing services, we will support our customers in both reducing their energy costs and improving operational efficiency."
