“Connected” and dynamic lighting solutions are the focus of Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW) at this year’s LIGHTFAIR International expo, slated for May 8-10 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

Billed as one of the world’s largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade shows and conferences, Arrow will showcase its unique approach for developing smart city and smart building solutions, with the ability to add system components from a variety of manufacturers to tailor a la carte lighting options.

The Arrow Connect platform is being integrated into the company’s lighting offerings to allow for the interconnectivity and interoperability of sensors and lights, while allowing the end user to manage and monitor it from a single interface.

As the exclusive sponsor of LIGHTFAIR’s Smart City Forum, Arrow will spotlight how intelligent lighting can deliver citizen services to smart-city IoT deployments.

The latest trends in building automation, building management systems and smart lights are the subjects of another Arrow seminar on May 8.

For these and other seminars, interested attendees can register at the LIGHTFAIR website, lightfair.com.

LIGHTFAIR attendees can learn more at the Arrow booth (214) at LIGHTFAIR.
