Minebea SALIOT LED lighting illuminates showroom floor for Thai Porsche dealer

Automobile dealerships face the challenge of being too static. Dealership showrooms often have high ceiling to create an appearance of space and achieve an elegant display of car choices for the consumer. Lighting and illumination have already been set according to corporate identity guidelines and showroom floor plans. Faced with these factors, most showrooms choose not to move the cars on display too often to avoid more work. Most dealerships will replace the display car with another in the same size at the same spot. However, in order to entice shoppers, display cars should be able to rotate occasionally to call attention. This rotation process involves adjusting the pre-set lights, which usually takes time, requires manpower, and results in high cost.

AAS Auto Service is a company under CTI Group. CTI is a well known logistic company and a trusted partner of Minebea for over 30 years. Premier Lighting Solutions (PLS) was founded on October 2015 as part of the CTI companies, and sells and represents Minebea’s LED products in Asia. PLS approached AAS Auto Service about using their high-end Porsche Centre dealership located in Pattanakarn, Bangkok, Thailand, as a testing ground for the Smart Adjustable Light for the Internet of Things (SALIOT), a smart LED lighting system. AAS agreed, and Porsche was informed about this process. They have very strict guidelines on the type of lights and color of lights that are allowed to be used in their dealerships.
