Collaboration Background
A well-known smart building company was seeking an innovative product that could precisely detect human presence, enable automatic adjustment, and support remote management. Recognizing tronixv’s expertise in hardware design, manufacturing, and system integration, the client partnered with us to develop and implement the millimeter-wave smart thermostat panel.
Project Background
Conventional air-conditioning control panels rely on manual operation or basic infrared sensing, which often lacks accuracy, automation, and remote accessibility. To overcome these limitations, the client aimed to create a new thermostat panel powered by millimeter-wave technology to achieve “automatic operation when occupied, intelligent shutdown when vacant,” while ensuring seamless integration with their server for a closed-loop smart management system.
Solution
tronixv delivered an end-to-end solution covering R&D through production:
- R&D Phase: Provided industrial design, hardware architecture planning, and collaborated closely with the client’s team on software development to ensure full compatibility.
- Production Phase: Manufactured and delivered 200 pilot units with guaranteed quality and on-time delivery. The final product retained all basic thermostat functions while integrating a millimeter-wave presence sensor and a 4G communication module, enabling automatic adjustment and remote management, successfully connected to the client’s server.
Technical Highlights
- Millimeter-Wave Presence Detection: More accurate and reliable than traditional infrared, minimizing false detections.
- 4G Connectivity: Overcomes LAN limitations, allowing real-time remote control and monitoring.
- Hardware-Software Synergy: Ensured seamless integration with the client’s server for centralized management.
Outcomes & Benefits
The project delivered 200 units that successfully passed all testing and validation. The smart thermostat panel enabled intelligent air-conditioning management, improved precision and convenience, and significantly reduced energy consumption. Moreover, its seamless integration enhanced the client’s smart building system, strengthened competitiveness, and laid the groundwork for future market expansion.
