LoraLIGHT
Light control
The LoraLIGHT module turns each factory light on, off, or dims it remotely.

Date
The Bosch Group is a global leader in technology and services. The company employs around 418,000 people worldwide and generated sales of €90.3 billion in 2024. Its operations are split across four business sectors: Mobility, Industrial Technology, Consumer Goods, and Energy and Building Technology.
WHAT IT IS
Bosch needed interactive plans to control its factories and centralize the company's facilities operation.
Operations and facilities teams would use the tool to control temperature, lighting and blinds in each area in real time, directly on the factory plan. This would cut energy consumption without relying on adjustments scattered across different systems.
Light control
Adjust each area's light intensity and schedule without leaving the plan.
Camera monitoring
Monitor security cameras across the factory floor in real time.
Weather views
See live temperature and outdoor conditions for each facility.
Blinds control
Open or close each room's blinds remotely, right from the plan.
Air conditioning control
Regulate each area's air conditioning without separate systems.
Real-time indicators
Track consumption and usage indicators in live-updated charts.
STEP 01
The process worked like this: Bosch sent photos of the factories and, from those, the plans were created. There were 03 plans for the project in total.
STEP 02
After creating the plans, we built the features.
HVac
Air conditioning control
The HVac module turns each room's air conditioning on and off remotely.
CA401
Blinds control
The CA401 module opens and closes each room's motorized blinds straight from the interactive plan.
Visões de clima
Weather views
The weather module shows live temperature, humidity and forecast for each facility.
LoraCAM
Camera monitoring
The LoraCAM module centralizes security cameras from every factory on a single screen.
Indicadores
Blinds control
The indicators module gathers each area's energy consumption and usage in live charts.
STEP 03
After the features, we integrated each one of them with the interactive plans.
PROCESS
In total, 03 interactive plans were created:

In the end, which problems did the project solve?
- Lower energy spending
- With remote control of lights, AC and blinds, energy consumption dropped across every monitored factory.
- Unified view of the operation
- Facilities teams started tracking every factory from a single screen, without switching between systems.
- Centralized security
- Cameras from every plan were brought together in one place, making it easier to respond to any incident.
- Decisions with spatial context
- Seeing the data over the factory's actual layout made it easier to understand where to act and why.
WHAT I LEARNED
I learned that working inside a design system that isn't yours has a discipline of its own. You couldn't solve a new problem by creating a new component. I had to understand the limits of what already existed and design within them. That taught me more about consistency than any project where I built everything from absolute scratch.
And this project opened my eyes to something I hadn't seen before: how much design can connect to the real world. It wasn't just about drawing a screen. It was about representing a real factory, and making the digital respond to the physical in a way that made sense to the end user.
