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

• If tasks in the production area change, lighting conditions must be adapted appropriately
• Track systems are highly flexible and adjustable – the position, type and number of luminaires can be changed quickly and simply

• Industrial LED luminaires from Zumtobel are specially designed for demanding environments and are equipped for a long service life with the lowest possible reduction in luminous flux
• High degrees of protection and optimised luminaire surfaces minimise the accumulation of dirt, and cleaning and service intervals can be prolonged

• Luminaires are exposed to coolants, oil vapours and metal dust
• Luminaires made of PMMA with high IP protection classes offer maximum robustness and prevent the penetration of foreign objects

• A wide range of visual tasks in the metal industry: rough jobs and fine inspection work close together despite individual lighting requirements
• Disruptive glare by reflection on reflective materials can be minimised with uniform light distribution and the correct luminaire arrangement

• Energy requirements for lighting in large production halls are high due to the necessary high lumen packages
• Clear energy savings through the use of dimmable LED luminaires

• Silicones influence the wettability of material surfaces – coating processes are impaired, visible defects occur
• Strict regulations in the automotive industry often prohibit the use of luminaires containing silicone in order to minimise the risk of contamination
• Using a higher degree of protection of at least IP5X is recommended for optics and LEDs
• Contamination of and damage to the luminaire are avoided since flying sparks do not penetrate the housing during cutting work

• Replacing lamps and luminaire parts can be costly and time-consuming if production has to be interrupted or the areas are difficult to reach
• Durable LED luminaires with higher degrees of protection and well-thought-out designs help to increase service intervals and reduce maintenance costs

• Shiny metal surfaces carry the risk of direct glare and glare by reflection, which have a negative impact on error rates, concentration and fatigue
• To reduce disruptive light reflections and the subjective sensation of glare, luminaires with uniform, homogeneous light-emitting surfaces are recommended
• Lateral and parallel arrangement of luminaires to the production line reduces undesired light reflections even further

• Visual checks before packaging to check whether products meet freshness and quality requirements
• The use of light sources with high colour rendering guarantees reliable assessment of the smallest colour nuances

• There are often very high temperatures in production areas and extreme minus temperatures for areas in which food is stored
• Zumtobel specially developed products for the food industry designed for long-term use under extreme conditions from -40°C up to +50°C

• Lighting is subject to strict guidelines in relation to product design and quality
• The minimum standards for safe production of food products are determined by standards and concepts, such as IFS, BRC or HACCP
  • Protection against falling splinters
  • Surfaces are easy to clean

• Maintenance work can be a complex task in clean rooms because clean room qualification has to be ensured and validated again
• Clean room luminaires should also be capable of being maintained from above technical areas so as not to impair clean room integrity and to minimise maintenance costs

• More and more products are produced in clean rooms in accordance with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 14644 or GMP
• Luminaires must meet the following requirements in these strictly controlled areas:
  • Hygienic design due to the smoothest possible surface, high IP degree of protection against dust or moisture penetration into the luminaire housing
  • Resistant surfaces for regular cleaning and/or disinfection (light sources must be resistant to aggressive cleaning agents and biologically resistant)

• High illuminance and low glare values for demanding visual tasks in laboratories
• Disruptive light reflections can be reduced by luminaires with homogeneous light-emitting surfaces
• Individually adjustable workplace luminaires supplement the general lighting concept

• A combination of an energy-efficient LED lighting solution and corridor-function control system keeps operating costs low
   
• Vertical illuminance is crucial for safe parking and safely crossing driving lanes
   
• Light distribution should be as wide as possible for uniform illumination due to the low overall height
   
• Pleasant room atmosphere due to slight indirect share

• Optimum lighting conditions are a prerequisite for this
   
• In addition to general lighting, workplace lighting that is adapted to the inspection activity is used (e. g. with increased illuminance or special light colour)

• Luminaires with an extra degree of protection and materials resistant against gases and aggressive cleaning agents released in barns (especially*principally PMMA)
   
• Energy-saving LED lighting solution for large halls and long operating times

• Luminaires with a limited surface temperature and higher degree of protection for areas at risk of fire (marked with "D")
   
• The label confirms that the luminaire’s outer surfaces, on which easily flammable substances can accumulate, do not exceed the limit temperatures specified in EN 60598-2-24 and provide the required protection against the penetration of solid and liquid foreign objects

• Reflection-free, uniform light with high illuminance for undisturbed work

• Intense, even illumination of vertical surfaces, e.g. shelves, machines with lateral visual tasks, large objects such as aeroplanes, trains, etc.

• Uniform, efficient illumination of large areas
• Lighting solution works just as well after alterations
• Wide beam or narrow beam, depending on the room height

• Even illumination of low spaces (e.g. underground garages)
• Additional indirect light share for ceiling illumination for a friendly appearance

• Uniform, efficient illumination of large areas
• Lighting solution works just as well after alterations
• Wide beam or narrow beam, depending on the room height

• Light has to be precisely adjusted to the task at hand in terms of light colour (colour rendering), light direction, amount of light and the position of the lighting
• Additional workplace-related lighting
• Flat, shadowless light
• Different colour temperatures
