After the listing of PHILPS lighting, what is the future? In June 26th, President Wang Yun said PHILPS lighting China to accept the first financial reporter interview during the 2016 Davos forum, the era of things, intelligent lighting will become the trend. Regardless of the wave of energy saving in LED lighting, or the digital process of lighting, PHILPS lighting are hoping to become the leader.

Beyond lighting strategy

Wang Yun said that, like the introduction of PHILPS Lighting City street lighting intelligent lighting program CityTouch, the United States has been applied in Losangeles.

This "beyond lighting" strategy, so that the city street lamps can be real-time detection and maintenance. The specific approach is to collect the corresponding data on the terminal node, through the installation of the appropriate sensor to determine whether the need for monitoring and maintenance, and even as long as the addition of sensors, the future can achieve more features. In this system, including hardware and sensors, are produced by PHILPS lighting their own.

Therefore, the current PHILPS lighting business has been divided into four parts: one is the light source, that is usually the traditional lighting and LED lighting lamps is two;; three is a sensor and software system, with the development of digital technology, PHILPS has formed a "light + + + light sensor system software"; four is the extension services. Including information and life cycle planning.

According to PHILPS's goal, by 2020, the company hopes to be able to replace the traditional bulbs with 2 billion LED bulbs, which is expected to grow rapidly in the system and services. But for now, the traditional business in the proportion of operating income in PHILPS lighting is still heavier, but the growth rate of emerging businesses faster.

In such a trend, PHILPS lighting has been to encourage innovation, advocate the realization of product iterations, while in the process of internal innovation incentives, to provide the corresponding system protection.

First, the establishment of research centers in the company, before the commercialization of some forward-looking technical reserves. Next, an attempt to invest and commercialize. Finally, through the R&D (R & D) and the business team to work together to bring the results to the market, in order to keep the market in order to maintain their own innovative vitality.

So, how to measure the enterprise innovation? Wang Yun put forward four key points: one is the innovation of products each year accounted for the proportion of sales revenue is large; the two is to look at how many patent technology, whether there is a breakthrough, whether there is a patent on the new technology; the three is to see whether it can achieve the breakthrough of endogenous growth; four is to see whether the ecosystem sustainable business model to form an open.

"The basis of the fourth industrial revolution is digital technology and Internet technology," Wang Yun said, "not to say that an enterprise only do their fields can be successful, it must build an ecological environment, like PHILPS and CISCO, SAP lighting in horizontal cooperation. "

"In the field of lighting, PHILPS lighting future can play many roles, from the Internet of things, the circular economy to share the economic point of view, look at how to use renewable resources and energy saving products, to help the world to save resources, reduce energy consumption.
