Industry and engineering

• Staff at the centre of lighting design – Human Centric Lighting
• The visual, emotional and biological needs of humans working both at night and during the day are taken into account
• Safety, precision and quality are encouraged
• Innovative sensor technology for activity-based lighting that automatically adapts to the user scenario

The job market is influenced by high education standards and demographic changes.
 

• Companies must respond to these changes and adapt lighting to increasingly complex work processes and the individual needs of employees
• The connection and communication of people, machines, systems and products ensures a further increase in productivity in the form of reduced production times, data analysis, as well as decreased error rates and work-related accidents

Production processes change at increasingly shorter intervals – rooms regularly have to satisfy different utilisation scenarios and visual requirements.
 

• Lighting systems have to be highly flexible
• Quick changes to layouts
• Minimising production downtimes
• Minimising production downtimes

Industrial and craft businesses are very diverse and characterised by very different environmental conditions – the lighting requirements also vary accordingly.
 

• The detection of the prevailing environmental influences plays an increasingly important role in choosing the right lighting, for example:
  • temperature ranges
  • moisture and dirt accumulation
  • cleaning procedure
• Chemically contaminated ambient atmosphere
• Checklists for detecting the basic conditions in industrial projects as assistance

The energy requirements in industrial companies are high due to the long operating and production times.
 

• A negative carbon footprint and increasing energy costs
• The right lighting and control system considerably contributes to the optimisation of energy resources
  • Energy-efficient, dimmable LED luminaires can cut power consumption by up to 25 percent in comparison to conventional lighting solutions
  • The intelligent use of presence and daylight sensors and time management systems reduces the need for artificial light even further

• Track systems are perfect for quickly reacting to modified layouts
• If LED optics are replaced, the general appearance of the luminaires remains unchanged despite the different light distribution

• Glare for forklift drivers when loading and unloading high shelves
• Ideal light quality with good glare suppression has a positive effect on productivity and motivation and increases safety
• Narrow-beam optics for uniform vertical illumination of the shelves in high-bay warehouses; at the same time, horizontal transportation areas are well illuminated

• High energy consumption due to operating times and room sizes – at least 20 percent of the operating costs of a logistics facility are required for lighting
• Costs are reduced with efficient LED luminaires with targeted light direction
• Lighting management systems with corridor functions reduce lighting usage times in areas that are only occasionally used by people

• Maintenance work in high logistics warehouses is time-consuming and expensive
• Durable LED luminaires minimise the need for maintenance work
• Innovative designs reduce dirt accumulation, support the cooling of luminaires and make cleaning easier
