Kelly Space & Technology Launches Eco-Friendly Wireless Lighting Control Technology


Kelly Space & Technology, Inc. launched an eco-friendly wireless lighting control technology known as WiseLight. WiseLight automatically enables commercial and government municipal users to save energy and costs. This green energy saving system automates scheduling, monitoring and control of outdoor lighting applications such as recreational fields, parking lots, billboards and other venues. The WiseLight system eliminates timer and photosensor inefficiencies and malfunctions and allows direct feedback to identify failed components, such as bulbs and fixtures, and initiates real-time customer-defined notifications for prompt repair.

The WiseLight hardware is installed between a lighting fixture and its power supply and operates lights only when needed or desired. The centralized command and control feature of the system enables users to monitor energy usage and control a single lamp or any combination of lamps via machine-to-machine wireless communications from a secure internet web site.

Field results prove that the patent-pending wireless lighting control system allows customers to save up to fifty (50%) percent in energy costs, while aiding organizations to achieve carbon-neutrality goals by reducing energy demand and generation.

The proprietary communications architecture behind the WiseLight technology is the core innovation. Because of its universal applicability to control and monitor virtually any sensor system, Kelly Space is applying this technology to several of its product lines, including ballistic protection, laser and detection system applications.

KST has established the Aerospace Research & Development Center (ARDC) at its modernized facilities to incubate and commercialize leading-edge technologies. ARDC programs are of national significance and have attracted key government interest to meet the nation's priorities in the field of aerospace and homeland security. KST is cooperating with entrepreneurial companies on joint technology developments.
