Intelligent interconnected lighting system to create a smart logistics warehouse

　Signify recently announced that it has installed the Interact Industry smart connected lighting system for Pilkington Automotive Glass's new warehouse in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. This new system based on large-scale cloud computing is designed for warehouses and production workshops, marking Signify's formal entry into the industrial Internet of Things field.

　　Pilkington, which is part of the NSG Group, is one of the world's largest automotive glass suppliers. Its new central warehouse in Europe complies with the latest warehousing system and warehouse design standards, which fits Pilkington's future business development direction. "Our newly built warehouse will set a new warehouse lighting standard for the glass manufacturing industry. The Interact Industry intelligent interconnected lighting system not only provides lighting, but also provides us with all the data related to operations, helping us make more informed decisions." Marcel Devereaux, manager of NSG Group's energy business, said.

　　The smart sensors embedded in the Interact Industry smart connected lighting system can collect data for Pilkington automotive glass, helping to continuously improve the warehouse and process arrangements. For example, by analyzing the space usage in different time periods to improve the picking efficiency of the warehouse. The system can also improve the energy efficiency of the warehouse, enabling it to conduct business more sustainably. Devereaux said: "Compared with warehouses that use traditional lighting, warehouses equipped with a new intelligent interconnected lighting system can adjust the illuminance according to actual usage, and reduce energy consumption by up to 50% through energy-saving methods such as natural light collection and sensor feedback. This is The greatest energy savings achieved by LED lighting so far will help Pilkington Automotive Glass to reduce carbon emissions by 290 tons per year."

　　The Interact Industry intelligent interconnected lighting system is cost-effective and convenient to operate, making the central lighting control system more accessible. The intelligent interconnected lighting system can mine data, help industrial enterprises create safer and more efficient warehouse and factory environments, mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, and reduce energy consumption.

　　"Signify has a long history in the field of industrial lighting. With the introduction of the Interact Industry intelligent interconnected lighting system, we have taken another big step forward." Signify's global industry director Ton van de Wiel said, "More and more More industrial companies begin to use data analysis to improve operating procedures. The system can also provide customers with data-based services and deliver value beyond what they can see, thereby creating a safer working environment, improving factory production efficiency and reducing energy consumption ."

　　Advantages of smart connected lighting

　　Improve safety and productivity-reliable lighting ensures a safe working environment, effectively reduces accidents, and achieves continuous operation by reducing unplanned maintenance. The Interact Industry intelligent interconnected lighting system enables warehouse managers to prevent accidents and reduce post-event processing. Through real-time fault monitoring, potential faults are marked before they occur, and the occurrence of faults is suppressed to the greatest extent. Preventive maintenance is expected to save companies 12% to 18% of costs.

　　Optimize the use of space-Interact Industry intelligent interconnected lighting system provides employees with insights to monitor their operations, thereby increasing productivity. The intelligent interconnected lighting system equipped with motion sensors can display the space usage of different areas at different times. Warehouse managers can analyze and verify key inventory strategies, choose appropriate timing to optimize operations, and improve order picking efficiency and warehouse operation efficiency.

　　Reduce energy consumption-with the help of the Interact Industry intelligent interconnected lighting system, managers can monitor the overall energy consumption of the warehouse and optimize lighting settings. The sensor can use natural light or trigger the correct lighting settings according to the actual lighting situation. The system also allows the company to reasonably plan the lighting schedule, adopt different lighting modes for different activities, and reduce the lighting level in time. The above-mentioned measures will help companies meet regulatory needs and sustainable development goals.
