INTERVIEW
BRIGHT PROSPECTS
Time flies by and the first phase of your project is coming to an end. Tell me something about the project you're working on at LTS?
My project deals with smart systems and IoT (Internet of Things). The aim of my project is to find a suitable partner for LTS, whose solution can be used with the luminaires. So that means I've done a research on the currently available systems in the market. Next, I analysed which solution is best suited for the purposes of LTS and contacted the partner companies. Finally, I prepared a roadmap regarding a possible market launch.
That sounds quite extensive. Can you please explain to all "non-technical" people, what's behind smart systems?
Yes, gladly! Smart system means the system can operate autonomously i. e. it can sense, manage, analyse and control a situation efficiently. Smart systems have found applications in various scenarios. The most common application which everyone can relate to is Smart Home. In the same way, there is also Smart Retail. Sensors can be used simultaneously to control lighting as well as for creating a better shopping experience. For example, at a shopping centre, customers can connect their smartphone via Bluetooth. Once, the connection is established, they can be assisted to easily navigate through the shopping centre using an overview map of all shops. Customers can also be informed about the offers of the day, ongoing or upcoming events in the mall. All of this sensor technology can also be installed in the LTS luminaires.
What was the biggest challenge with your project?
Scheduling the meetings with multiple companies (laughs). There have usually been discussions with each selected smart systems provider - on the phone and in person. Establishing a first contact and then coordinating the appointments was not so easy.
Neena, how would you describe the working atmosphere at LTS?
The colleagues are very helpful. I can always ask questions and was always assisted - so overall a very pleasant atmosphere.
Who supported you over the last few months and how was the collaboration with your supervisors?
I have a personal sponsor and a mentor, both from the Board of Management, who gave me regular input and supported in all matters throughout. In addition, two other colleagues who had a lot of expertise, also from the management assisted me. We have a weekly meeting to discuss the progress and the efficient way forward.
Are you in close contact with the other trainees of the program?
We are four trainees and all started the program at the same time and remain in very good contact. Every two weeks a videoconference takes place and we give each other feedback on our projects, exchange ideas and provide each other some suggestions for improvement.
How is the program going now?
At the beginning of April everyone will see each other again. There are Development Days in Stockholm. We will receive training on different topics within this framework. Then my second project phase is at LED Linear, another daughter company in the Fagerhult Group.
We would like to thank Neena for the insightful and interesting conversation and her support during the last months. We wish her continued success and many helpful experiences. We look forward to seeing you again!
Are you also interested in a trainee program at LTS? Then please send your complete application documents to personalabteilung@lts-light.com. The next program starts in autumn 2020. The prerequisite is that you have completed studies (Bachelor or Master) in the areas of business administration or industrial engineering.
