What we believe
Connected devices: the keys to success
The intelligence of connected objects enables further added value to be created for all users, whether they are end users, installers, operators or facility managers.
By injecting the power of communication into Legrand’s products, Eliot makes it possible to provide additional services, automate certain processes, reduce response times or understand a status and tailor decisions accordingly.
Connected objects are designed for both private individuals AND professionals
Connected objects are becoming “must haves” in buildings, for both private individuals and professionals.
They have an impact on both individual houses and apartment buildings, hospitals, hotels, offices and industrial buildings.
Openness and interoperability are the keys to success
Interoperability is the ability of a product or service to work with other existing or future products or services, with no restrictions on access or implementation.
As they are essential for the development of connected objects, Legrand is also making every effort to define the industry standards.
The challenge is to promote open languages and to make use of a cloud that enables data to be exchanged and third-party systems to be integrated.
Infrastructures and the cloud guarantee sustainability and scalability
For connected devices to communicate and be sustainable, there is a need not just for high-performance networks, but also a reliable and powerful infrastructure that allows them to connect permanently and securely within buildings.
