Ivy invests hundreds of millions to build smart LED research center

The street light consumes so much power that how to make the street light “wisdom” illuminate. The reporter learned from an interview yesterday that Avi New Energy Technology Nanjing Co., Ltd. invested RMB 100 million to establish a smart LED lighting R&D center and developed a “system solution for smart lighting throughout the city”. Zhang Congfeng, chairman of the company, has just been selected as the second batch of technology entrepreneurs in the city.

Zhang Congfeng said that there are certain drawbacks in the existing manually operated street light mode. For example, the time setting for manual control of switch lights is fixed, due to seasonal changes, alternating day and night, cloudy fog and other factors caused by the daily switch light time, light and dark levels of different problems, often daytime, a row of street lights It is still lit. Moreover, the equipment for manual control of switch lights is also prone to tripping, large loss of lamps and other phenomena, but it cannot guarantee timely repair and replacement of damaged lamps. "We developed the city's intelligent lighting system solution, relying on an ordinary computer, easily click the mouse, you can remotely dim the lights, real-time supervision, the lights when the lights, should not be on when No light, energy saving and environmental protection.”

It is reported that this system can also be combined with Google Maps to understand the status information of the LED luminaires set in the area without going out of the house, and it can achieve functions such as fault alarm, precise positioning, and on-line maintenance, so that the management of urban street lamps can be changed. More "smart".

"At present, in the new energy field, the status of LED chips is very important. The most mature technologies are Japan, the United States, and Germany. China is relatively backward and has no right to speak. To be competitive, we must vigorously research and develop innovation." One of the founders of Emerson's Emerson Network Power (Nanjing) R&D Center of Emerson, one of the world's top 500 companies, also served as CEO of Infineon Optoelectronics (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. Zhang Congfeng knows the importance of talent and R&D and innovation. For more than one year since its founding, Zhang Congfeng has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build a smart LED lighting R&D center and gathered a group of technical experts from the world’s top 500 companies. Zhang Congfeng personally obtained nearly 30 invention and utility model patents as the first inventor, including 1 US patent that has been authorized and nearly 20 Chinese invention patents. The invention patents and utility model patents currently being filed 30 items, 70% are invention patents.

Large-scale R&D investment has brought a series of innovative products to market successfully. Less than two months after its establishment, the company has achieved 7.6 million sales, and expects sales of 50 million this year.
