In the era of AI, how does Nationstar Optoelectronics reshape the value of light?

In an era where everything is AI-enabled, AI technology is reconstructing the underlying logic of every traditional industry, and the lighting industry is no exception. In the past, the value of lighting products was only to illuminate. Now, with the support of AI, lighting technology is evolving from a single piece of hardware to an intelligent service system. In this technological revolution, plant lighting and health lighting have become the two applications with the most urgent demand for AI technology. In the field of agriculture, growers urgently need to get rid of traditional empiricism in the application of plant lighting technology and seek data-based yield guarantee; in the field of life, people's demand for daily lighting technology is no longer just satisfied with the basic brightness, but pursues a high-quality light environment that can adapt to circadian rhythms and make people feel comfortable. The emergence of AI is making these needs come true. "Intelligent Farming Star" breaks empiricism, AI allows planting to be based on evidence
In the field of agricultural planting, the demand for LED plant lighting is gradually rising. According to the latest data from TrendForce, the global LED plant lighting market will grow to US$1.315 billion in 2024. This number is expected to grow to US$1.769 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.1%. Behind this series of growth data, it means that the LED plant lighting market is moving from a narrow market dominated by high value-added cash crops such as cannabis to large-scale penetration into broad fields such as fruits, vegetables, and flowers. However, with the expansion of market application scenarios, especially when greenhouses occupy a major market share, the limitations of past LED plant lighting technology began to be exposed. For a long time, the industry has often used fixed spectrum plant lighting fixtures to deal with all crops, trying to use a fixed spectrum to deal with widely varying crop needs. However, this results in a lack of standardized verification data on the scientific research side, and it is difficult for the industry to get rid of its reliance on past planting experience. In response to these pain points in plant lighting applications, Nationstar Optoelectronics, a well-known domestic packaging company, has launched the latest "Smart Farming Star" AI planting ecosystem. This is not only a lighting device, but also a complete digital planting experimental platform that is isolated from the outside world. Nationstar Optoelectronics' "Smart Farming Star" "Smart Farming Star" has built an independent ecosystem that can block the interference of external wind, frost, rain, snow, natural light fluctuations, and pests and diseases, ensuring the accuracy and scientificity of plant planting experimental data, and ensuring that experimental results can be repeatedly verified. The core advantage of "Smart Farming Star" lies in its precise control capabilities powered by AI. The equipment is equipped with an advanced PSA (Programmable Spectrum Generator), which supports 5 channels of spectral adjustment, with wavelengths covering 380nm to 780nm, achieving high-precision light quality, light quantity and photoperiod adjustment. PSA can also set 16 growth stages according to different crops and match different lighting strategies for each stage. In addition, "Smart Farming Star" also built an intelligent management backend through SaaS+IOT technology. The system is equipped with the APU (Agricultural Edge Processing Unit) independently developed by Nationstar Optoelectronics, which is connected to 45 sensors in the cabin and can monitor ambient temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, air flow speed and various indicators of the nutrient solution in real time around the clock. Based on edge computing technology, the system can automatically analyze the growth status of crops and adjust environmental parameters in real time. For example, when the sensor detects that sprouts have entered a rapid growth period, the system can automatically identify and optimize the lighting strategy without frequent manual intervention. Users can also connect accumulated data to their own AI models for training, making every planting experiment a process of data accumulation. This digital and intelligent planting model brings important value. In terms of scientific research, "Smart Farming Star" supports programmable settings of the growth process and reproduction of experimental data, which can help scientific researchers shorten the experimental cycle by 50%. Currently, this equipment has supported 3 universities in completing 5 research projects, proving its practicality in academic research. In terms of industrial application, the effect is equally significant. Taking a strawberry base in Shandong as an example, the system increased the sugar content of strawberry fruits from 10° to 14° through the precise intervention of deep red light, directly driving the purchase price to increase by 30%. Empowered by AI technology, "Smart Farming Star" achieves high yield and high quality of crops through precise data control. Healthy lighting: Beyond "lighting" itself, use algorithms to restore natural light laws
In the field of human settlements, lighting equipment is also facing an upgrading point. According to TrendForce Consulting's analysis, approximately 5.8 billion LED light sources will reach the limit of their service life in 2024, and the market has officially entered a secondary replacement cycle. In the past, consumers replaced incandescent lamps and halogen lamps with LEDs mainly for energy saving and long life. But now, when consumers replace lamps again, they no longer only focus on power saving, but also pay more attention to the quality of light. With the popularization of the concept of human lighting, more and more consumers are beginning to realize that light is not only for seeing objects clearly, but also affects people's physiological rhythms and emotional states. However, many products currently on the market lack in-depth simulation of the rhythm of natural light, making it difficult to truly meet users' needs for a comfortable and healthy light environment. In this regard, Nationstar Optoelectronics has launched a new 5050 three-in-one light color optical device, which integrates AI technology to provide users with a light environment that is closer to nature and can better regulate emotions. 5050 three-in-one light color optical device The core technology of this product is that it supports stepless adjustment of ultra-wide color temperature from 1800K to 15000K, which means that whether it is warm amber or cold white like the blue sky at noon, this device can accurately present it. Its color rendering index is as high as Ra98, and its NTSC color gamut coverage exceeds 50%. This high-fidelity color reproduction capability not only makes the colors of objects in your home more vivid and realistic, but also effectively reduces visual fatigue and protects your eyesight. With the AI ​​intelligent control system, the 5050 three-in-one pastel light device can achieve seamless and precise control of brightness and color temperature, realistically simulating the natural light changes of sunrise, sunset, and the changing seasons. For example, at night, the light can automatically adjust to warm and soft tones to help users relieve the stress of the day and create a warm atmosphere; while in the early morning or afternoon, it can gradually change to bright daylight colors to awaken the body's vitality. This kind of light rhythm realized through algorithms can subtly improve people's psychological environment and physical health. In the design of product form, Nationstar Optoelectronics has also fully considered the needs of practical applications. It integrates red, green and blue light sources through innovative packaging technology. The product achieves full-color light output and has a more compact structure, which greatly optimizes the internal layout space of the lamp. This feature enables it to adapt to a variety of innovative lighting fixtures such as skylights, light-colored ceiling lights, and curtain wall lights that are currently popular on the market. Lamp designers can take advantage of the device's compact size and rich color expression to design thinner, more creative lighting products to meet the needs of high-end commercial spaces and modern home environments for personalized experiences.
