Innovation, Design and Quality

History 

Founded in 1991, Philips Remote Control Systems (RCS) began as an independent unit within Royal Philips Electronics to support the company's remote control solution requirements. Over the years, we have expanded to provide both standard and tailor-made wireless input and control solutions for major electronics manufacturers worldwide. Today, Philips RCS prides ourselves as a preferred partner to leading companies in thehome entertainment domain.

Being a pioneer in remote control technologies, we have developed many industry standards today, such as the RC5, RC6 and RCMM protocols. Since 1999, we have successfully positioned ourselves as a premium player in the touch-screen universal remote control for consumers with the Pronto product range. In the business-to-business segment, Philips RCS is an industry partner of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) across the consumer electronics, broadcast/set-top box and personal computing industries.

All our activities are also integrated through a process-driven structure that ensures seamless delivery from product creation to product fulfillment. Riding on Philips global purchasing and total quality management competencies, our business partners enjoy cost-effective and reliable turnkey services.

Company

After a business restructuring within Philips, Philips Remote Control Systems has been renamed into Philips Home Control.

Within the Royal Philips Electronics family, Philips Home Control is uniquely positioned as the main supplier of innovative wireless and portable product solutions. Philips Home Control envisions providing consumers with intuitive user interfaces that allow them to search, access, organize and enjoy multimedia content.

Philips Home Control sets ourselves apart from other remote control providers with our dedication to our brand promise, which is ‘Sense & Simplicity’. Backed by our three pillars: ‘Designed around you’, ‘ Easy to experience’ and ‘Advanced’, we are committed to developing technology that is built around the people who use it. And although the technology itself may be highly advanced, we believe the way it is used should make sense. It should make life easier & simpler for everyone.

Mission & Vision

An increased number of A/V devices, growing online and stored multi-media content, the growth of in-home wireless networks and the emergence/integration of home automation applications will stimulate the need for simplified control.

We strive to be the leading Brand in providing control based solutions that enhance people’s lives in accessing and experiencing the multi-media content they want and their home environment in the most convenient way.
