Decobry: Smart design technology that shapes the future of digital and physical spaces

By combining the concepts of “decoration” and “technology,” the term “decobry” refers to an intelligent design system consisting of an interconnected combination of aesthetic appearance and smart/functional technologies. In today’s technology-driven world, decobry can also be seen as a framework for designing and enhancing the way in which people experience their homes and workplaces with the use of a digitized platform that provides access to and controls smart home technologies while automating and customizing the design of interior spaces using post-occupancy data. As advanced technology is increasingly incorporated into everyday life, the boundaries between design and engineering continue to become less distinct. Decobry represents this transition—a way for people to have lighting, temperature, security, and visual ambiance both individually designed for them and functionally linked through a responsive network of interdependent, intelligent devices.

Connected Design and Smart Infrastructure

Generally, one could visualize an IoT (Internet of Things)-enabled decobry-type solution. These IoT-enabled devices (e.g., smart bulbs, smart thermostats, smart motion sensors, voice-controlled speakers, etc.) communicate with one another through centralized control systems such as a central hub or cloud-based platform, allowing them to modify their state automatically based on the end user or to modify their state automatically based on a specific time of day or based on data from the outside world.

This layered structure ensures both visual appeal and technological performance.

Personalization & AI

Today, AI will be more widely used to personalize smart homes and environments. A decobry platform would include AI-enabled machine-based learning capabilities to analyze user routines and behaviours for the purposes of adjusting the settings you surround yourself with (the lighting you would prefer to work under, background music, workspace layout and design, etc.). Overtime, your system will be able to learn your habits. An example of this, would be having the necessary equipment and settings in place to support a focus-oriented work environment during peak productivity times, as well as creating a relaxation-oriented environment during those times when people are able to relax. Predictive maintenance using AI can be utilized for monitoring connected devices to perform predictive analysis on connected devices. This allows for the identification of performance issues before they occur, increasing the longevity of connected devices and reducing the amount of downtime associated with them.

Scalability and Cloud-Based Integration

An important factor in regards to a decobry ecosystem will be cloud infrastructure. A decobry platform will use cloud technology to store users’ preferences and analytic data greatly helping to provide users with seamless integration of calibrating and configuring multiple properties or devices together. This will provide for flat or vertical integration from single-family residential spaces to commercial office building developments. Cloud-base technology will allow for cloud-base operational management; thus allowing for users to easily update their systems remotely and to better protect themselves from cyber-security breaches, as well as allowing connected devices on their system to seamlessly communicate with each other, regardless of the operating systems or devices used to access their devices.

Optimizing Energy Use & Sustainability

The use of intelligent design technology for the purpose of sustainability is one of its biggest advantages. For example, Decobry-type systems are able to capture and analyze real-time energy consumption, identify where inefficiencies exist, and offer suggestions for optimization. Also, integrating smart grid and automated shut-off capabilities can help to lower the overall environmental impact of a project by reducing excessive energy use through unnecessary lighting, heating, or cooling. Provided with access to sustainability-centric data via dashboards, users can visualize energy performance trends (i.e., daily, weekly and monthly assessment) and foster responsible environmental habits, by making data visible.

Application Areas for Decobry Technology

Decobry technology has a high level of flexibility; thus it can be applied across a variety of verticals:

• Residential Homes: Personalized lighting, climate control automation, and voice-controlled functionalities.
• Corporate Office: Adaptive work environments in order to improve productivity and optimize energy consumption.
• Retail Stores: Dynamic displays and tailor mood lighting per customer behavior.
• Hospitality: Smart Room for customized guest experiences.

All of these environments benefit from the combination of aesthetic design with digital intelligence.
