Purpose
Power, light and intelligence from the ceiling.
ACI – Adaptive Ceiling Interface started from one simple frustration: power is often not available where you actually need it. The ceiling is always present, so ACI turns that fixed point into a modular platform for logistics, offices, homes, power, light, visual communication and smart infrastructure.
Awareness First
Understanding EDS, then the personal stories behind it.
EDS awareness belongs in the ACI story because the project is not only about power, modules and firmware. It is also about creating environments that can become more supportive, calmer and clearer for people dealing with fatigue, pain, overstimulation and daily limitations.
Architecture
One PowerCore, a safe low-voltage backbone and stackable intelligence below.
The ACI architecture separates the ceiling power interface from the functional modules. The PowerCore converts ceiling power into a controlled low-voltage backbone and provides the main status, control and decision layer.
PowerCore / Middle Body
Central housing for power conversion, controller logic, status indication and system-level decisions.
230V → 12V backbone
ACI brings mains power into the ceiling unit and converts it to a modular 12V distribution layer for the stack underneath.
Stackable modules
Modules connect through a magnetic mechanical interface with power, ID and communication lines.
E-BUS communication
Smart modules communicate presence, state and commands through the ACI E-BUS.
Modules
Current, prototype and future ACI modules.
The website now separates finished/current module visuals from prototype directions and future concepts. Audio and Sensor already have fixed future filenames, so the correct images can be uploaded later without changing this HTML.
PowerCore
The fixed ceiling interface and central power/control body.
Visual Module
Visual messages, status, alerts and smart workplace communication.
Lamp Module
A practical end module for controlled lighting.
Prototype Audio Module
Dedicated high-power audio module for music, alerts and entertainment audio.
Prototype Sensor Module
Environmental sensing, awareness and adaptive infrastructure support.
Future Aroma Module
Future wellbeing-oriented module concept.
Prototypes
Self-developed. Self-printed. Self-tested.
ACI is being built through real prototypes: CAD design, 3D printing and electronics integration. These images show the physical development process behind the project.
Live System Tests
Real working prototype behavior.
These tests show ACI running real visual communication states. The videos open from compact preview cards, so the homepage stays clean and mobile-friendly.
EVACUATE alert mode
A live prototype test showing evacuation messaging and red emergency visual behavior.
EMERGENCY status mode
A live prototype test showing emergency indication and green status communication.
Information and status messaging
A live prototype test showing how ACI can display information and system feedback.
Use Cases
ACI becomes instantly understandable when placed in real environments.
These visual use cases show how the same platform can support logistics, offices and residential spaces.
Logistics & Warehousing
Dynamic dock information, trailer identification, loading status colors and visual communication above loading bays.
Smart Offices
Adaptive lighting, workspace status, notifications and visual communication integrated directly into the ceiling.
Residential Spaces
Premium modular lighting and intelligent ceiling interaction for homes, creative spaces and living environments.
EDS Awareness
Awareness first: understanding EDS, then the personal stories behind it.
EDS awareness belongs on the ACI website because ACI is not only about power, modules and firmware. It is also about creating environments that can become more supportive for people dealing with fatigue, pain, overstimulation and daily limitations.
