Merlot Lab was named a CES 2027 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Enterprise Tech category. The Seoul-based company makes smart building digital infrastructure. The award recognizes its Merlot Building DX Platform ahead of the January event in Las Vegas.
Integrated EMS and RTLS
The platform combines an energy management system with real-time location tracking in one wireless infrastructure. Merlot Lab added ultra-wideband anchor functions to EMS lighting devices. This removes separate wiring and lowers the cost of adding that feature.
Deployments and testing
Merlot Lab completed a demonstration at a CJ Logistics distribution center. It also introduced the technology at an LS Electric factory in China. A TTA test confirmed stable network operation with up to 2,000 connected devices.
One infrastructure, more services
Location results travel over a self-developed wireless mesh network called Merlot Mesh. Connected devices relay data without a dedicated wired network. Customers can add worker safety, logistics tracking, or building security on the same infrastructure.
Merlot Lab plans to accelerate its entry into the North American smart building market. CEO Shin So-bong said the award will support that effort. The company will bring its combined EMS and RTLS platform to that market.
