Organic Response

Melbourne, Au

An Internet of Things [IoT] smart lighting device that uses intelligent self-organisation algorithms to save over 75% of office lighting energy.

Organic Response is an innovative lighting control system that uses peer-to-peer communication to create an intelligent and adaptive system without additional the need for complex (and expensive) custom site-specific programming.  Despite the extreme installation simplicity the system significantly outperforms all competing alternatives achieving much lower energy use, increased occupant comfort and better value. 

A smart Sensor Node is integrated into each light fitting before they are delivered to a building site. Equipped with motion and ambient light sensors as well as infrared receivers and transmitters, the Sensor Nodes regulate the light output according to the occupant’s behaviour and the ambient light, and shares this information with neighbouring nodes. The installation does not require additional wiring.

Supermanoeuvre was involved from the very beginning of this Australian technology startup’s journey contributing to strategy, producing the first simulation of the systems behaviour, the international award-winning industrial design of the sensor-node and producing many of the key explanatory and marketing drawings.
