What is the Orioma Project?
Orioma is a specialist in innovative IoT solutions designed specifically for smart buildings. Their flagship product, the LOBX sensor, is an autonomous infrared camera that operates without batteries or wiring. It measures occupancy, ambient temperature, and light levels every 50 seconds to precisely manage and reduce energy consumption. Privacy is a top priority—infrared images are analyzed internally and discarded immediately after, ensuring anonymity. Beyond energy savings, the system enhances security by detecting intrusions, people lying down, and abnormal heating. Orioma’s solution is perfect for retrofitting aging office buildings, adding a thin, unobtrusive layer of intelligence to existing energy, comfort, and security management systems.
Main Benefits of Orioma’s IoT Solutions
Orioma’s technology brings a host of impressive advantages, including:
- Up to 30% reduction in energy consumption
- Autonomous device operation for at least 15 years—no wires, no disposable batteries, no maintenance
- Quick installation: magnetic clip in 30 seconds or ceiling screw in 5 minutes
- Enhanced occupant comfort through precise temperature and 360° light measurement
- Increased safety with presence detection and upcoming abnormal behavior alerts
- Rationalized occupancy management with real-time data visualization
- Zero exploitation costs after installation
How Orioma’s Technology Works
The LOBX sensor continuously monitors presence, light, and temperature to regulate building systems like lighting, heating, and air conditioning. It’s a smart, adaptive device that leverages embedded AI to interpret data on the edge, enabling predictive maintenance and energy optimization. The device’s 180° thermal vision and LoRaWAN connectivity make it a powerful tool for real-time environmental and occupancy monitoring. Plus, it’s designed to be scalable—from small offices to large buildings—making it versatile for various professional spaces.
Unique Features That Set Orioma Apart
What makes Orioma’s solution truly stand out? For starters, the LOBX sensor is completely autonomous—no wiring, no disposable batteries, and no maintenance needed for at least 15 years. It’s built with embedded AI that processes data locally, ensuring privacy and security. The device collects infrared data only, so no faces or sensitive details are recorded, offering a degree of anonymity. Installation is a breeze, and the solution integrates seamlessly with existing Building Management Systems (BMS) or third-party sensors. It’s also sustainable by design, eliminating waste from disposable batteries and device replacements.
Orioma’s Mission and Values
Orioma aims to pioneer ambient intelligence by designing ultra-low-power, autonomous sensors powered by ambient light and edge computing. Their mission is to transform professional and industrial spaces into safer, greener, and more efficient connected ecosystems. Innovation, energy autonomy, robustness, and environmental responsibility are at the core of their vision. Every device is crafted to deliver long-term reliability and distributed intelligence, shaping the future of smart buildings with sustainability and ease of use in mind.
