The Loxone company is a renowned and well-known manufacturer of smart home systems. Currently, Loxone has several years of experience and intensive development behind it. Its employees inspire experts open to innovation. One of the most desirable changes is to find the way the building is controlled in order to minimize electricity consumption and manage the energy produced in home photovoltaic installations without the need for user intervention. The intensive development of Loxone is also visible on the Polish market. This creates wide opportunities for employment and development for graduates of the Poznan University of Technology.
As part of the cooperation, Loxone supported students interested in the subject of smart home associated with the Electronus Science Club, operating at the Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Energy. In addition, Loxone invited the Faculty's employees involved in cooperation with the company for training and provided materials that will be used in the didactic process.
