From networked lighting control to monitoring systems to electronic shelf labels (ESL), Bluetooth® Device Network solutions in home, commercial, or other environments can reliably and securely connect tens, hundreds, or thousands of devices within a network. Analysts at ABI Research forecast a 2.63x growth in annual Bluetooth Device Network device shipments over the next five years – from 7.7 million to 1.63 billion annual shipments.
Bluetooth Networked Lighting Control
Networked lighting control systems feature an intelligent network of individually addressable and sensor-rich luminaires and control devices that allows each component of the system to send and receive data. Bluetooth® Networked Lighting Control systems are deployed in offices, retail, healthcare, factories, and other commercial facilities to deliver a combination of energy savings, an enhanced occupant experience, and more efficient building operations.
According to ABI Research, Bluetooth® Networked Lighting Control is experiencing mainstream traction. The proliferation of LEDs, a desire for greater energy efficiency, faster deployment capabilities, and a higher-quality occupant experience are driving the demand for Bluetooth commercial networked lighting control solutions.

Bluetooth Electronic Shelf Labels
With the introduction of a wireless standard for the electronic shelf label (ESL) market, Bluetooth® technology is helping unlock the next phase in retail digital transformation to deliver better outcomes for both stores and shoppers. Electronic shelf labels provide always-accurate pricing, increased access to real-time promotions and product information, and a more gratifying and cohesive omnichannel experience.
Retailers can use electronic shelf labels to streamline picking and fulfillment for click and collect shoppers while also accelerating shelf replenishments to optimize product availability on shelves and avoid missed sales. “Retailers are increasingly looking towards IoT technologies to help deliver operational efficiencies, increase conversion, and to encourage customers to return to stores in the post-COVID-19 landscape,” said Andrew Zignani, ABI Research.
Condition Monitoring
Bluetooth® condition monitoring is driving greater sensorization. Machines and equipment used in the manufacturing processes are already being monitored by large networks of wireless sensors, and more vendors in industrial settings are increasingly looking to maximize condition monitoring benefits, such as preventive and predictive maintenance that can help avoid costly repairs. Analysts anticipate seeing a long tail of use cases within this segment as more companies leverage a wide range of condition monitoring solutions.

ネットワーク照明制御から監視システム、そして電子棚札（ESL）に至るまで、自宅や商業施設、その他の環境における Bluetooth®︎ デバイスネットワークソリューションは、高い信頼性と安全性を担保しつつ、ネットワーク内にある数十台、数百台、数千台のデバイスの接続を可能にします。
ABI リサーチ社のアナリストによると、今後5年間におけるBluetooth デバイスネットワーク機器の年間出荷台数は2.63倍に成長し、7億7千万台から16億3千万台への増加が予測されます。
ネットワーク照明制御
ネットワーク照明制御は、個別にアドレスが指定でき充実したセンサーを備えた照明器具と制御デバイスによるインテリジェントなネットワークシステムであり、システムの各コンポーネントによるデータ送受信が可能になります。Bluetooth®︎ネットワーク照明制御システムは、オフィス、小売店、医療施設、工場、商業施設などに導入することで、建物のエネルギーの効率化や、利用者の体験向上、建物運用の効率向上などの改善策を組み合わせて実現します。
ABIリサーチによると、Bluetooth®ネットワーク照明制御は現在主流になりつつあります。LED照明の急速な普及や、エネルギー効率の向上、より迅速な導入が可能な機能性、そしてより上質な利用者体験に対する欲求が原動力となり、Bluetooth®︎業務用ネットワーク照明制御ソリューションに対する需要が高まっています。
電子棚札
電子棚札（ESL）市場向けの無線規格の導入により、Bluetooth®技術は、小売業のデジタル変革の次の段階を切り開き、店舗と買い物客の双方にとってより良い結果をもたらすことに貢献しています。ESLは、常に正確な価格表示、リアルタイムプロモーションや商品情報へのアクセスの向上に加え、より満足度が高く包括的なオムニチャネル体験を提供します。
小売業者にとっては、クリック＆コレクトの買い物客対応におけるピッキングと配送を合理化する一方で、棚の補充を加速させ、商品在庫を最適化して、販売機会の逸失を防ぐことが可能になります。「小売企業は、新型コロナウイルス流行後の商環境において、業務効率化を実現し、コンバージョンを高め、店舗への顧客の再訪を促すための支援策として、IoT技術への期待を高めています」とABIリサーチのAndrew Zignaniは述べています。
状態監視
Bluetooth®︎状態監視がより広範囲に及ぶセンサー化の原動力となっています。製造工程で使用される機械や設備は、すでに大規模な無線センサーネットワークによって監視されており、産業界のより多くのベンダーが、高額に及ぶ修理回避に役立つ予防的および予測的メンテナンスなど、状態監視のメリットを最大限活用することを望んでいます。アナリストによると、より多くの企業がさまざまな状態監視ソリューションを活用することにより、この分野における使用例が少数分散型になることが予想されます。
