Problem
Current IoT devices for smart buildings are often too expensive, energy-consuming, and dependent on battery cables, limiting their scalability and ease of deployment. Many lack the ability to function in low-light conditions and are too bulky for discreet integration into building environments.
Solution
Orioma designs and manufactures ultra-low-power, wireless sensors and energy-autonomous cameras for smart buildings, smart cities, and surveillance applications. Their patented SEEL (solutions for energy-efficient lighting) infrared sensor technology enables the LOBX-1 sensor to operate using harvested ambient light, eliminating the need for batteries or external power. The LOBX-1 integrates advanced functionalities such as the measurement and regulation of air quality, ambient lighting, and temperature, adapting to the activity and number of occupants in a room. By embedding AI algorithms directly on the sensor, Orioma enables real-time data analysis at the edge, optimizing energy consumption and providing actionable insights for building management systems. The LOBX-1 communicates wirelessly via LoRaWAN, ensuring easy integration into existing building infrastructure.
Target Audience
Orioma's primary customers are building managers, smart city planners, and system integrators seeking to optimize energy consumption, improve building safety, and enhance occupant comfort in commercial, industrial, and public spaces.
