Software Defined
We keep telling the World the Silvair products are software defined. What does this mean? Well, it means the products, without the software running inside of them, do not exist. This by the way has become the reality we live in. A car is a software product. Surprised? Try to remove the computer inside and you will end up with a dead pile of metal, glass, leather and plastics, you will even have have difficulty opening. Not to mention starting the engine.
Software gives these products all the smart details we love and expect. Software defined products become simply smarter. We like them more. Staying with cars, Saab has always been my favorite example. Back in 1990s there were some lovely features in Saabs, among them the rear view mirrors that were lowering themselves when reverse was engaged. And the engine giving you extra thrust (exceeding the rated bhp) for 30 seconds, just enough to safely overtake.
The same concept applies today to objects as simple as lights. Lights can tune their color temperature, being more energetic in the morning and more calm in the evening. Lights in the night can turn on slowly and stop at reduced brightness, just enough to let you find your way to a bathroom. Lights in Winter can gently wake you up, by gradually turning on instead of your alarm clock yelling at you. In Summer the same can be done by your shades or curtains, slowly letting the sun in.
Software lets us build better products. Accepted and loved by users. It is all about the User Experience. When you provide a great one, your products will win. We can help with that :)
