Light up the whole production hall when several employees arrive?

Production halls Fabory Brno

Savee solution for the whole building

Significantly streamlined operations

The need to save energy and at the same time to reduce the carbon footprint – both of these factors helped the decision to purchase and install the Savee solution in a large logistics hall for packaging and logistics of fasteners. The industrial hall is divided into approximately 75% production and 25% storage areas, with an additional smaller storage hall adjacent. It was necessary to arrange for the replacement of the outdated strip fluorescent lamps with suitable LED luminaires so that it would be possible to combine the two completely different natures of operation.

Challenges prior to implementation

Outdated and completely inadequate fluorescent lamps

Two completely different operations with identical lighting systems

Having to unnecessarily turn on all the lights in the hall even for one employee (3500 m²)

Because of one rack, the whole storage area was often lit up

The road to savings

After a technical analysis, we opted for a complete move away from strip fluorescents and installed suitable LED lights. Furthermore, we identified and precisely described all possible operating scenarios, not only depending on the premises, but also with regard to different times of the day.

Savee’s solution works from early morning, when half an hour before the start of the shift, the walkway is lit at 50% for the shift supervisor, who is the first on site and prepares the entire hall for the employees. Before Savee, this was solved by either moving in complete darkness or having to light the entire hall half an hour early.

Five minutes before the start of the shift, all lights are turned on to the level required to provide 500 lux (as per standard). The evaluation of the correct light intensity is taken care of by luxmeters (illuminance sensors) in combination with time schedules according to the customer’s settings and needs.

Controlled lighting in an industrial hall can also reflect planned breaks. This ensures that no light is shone unnecessarily during a break. Wastage is also stopped in warehouse areas where employees only move between shelves for a few minutes. The installation of motion sensors has also stopped unnecessary lighting here. In addition, we connected Savee to the alarm system to ensure that all lights go off automatically when they are supposed to – after the last employee leaves.
