Active Light

  • 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

Challenges and focus topics in your project design

Productivity

 

 

 

 

 

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
Adaptability

  

 

 

 

 

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

Reliability

 

 

 

 

 

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
Efficiency

 

 

 

 

 

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

Logistics

High flexibility
  • 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
Ideal illumination
  • 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
Energy and cost savings
  • 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
  • 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
