Modern technology, reduced energy consumption, and full control of lighting – throughout our entire factory
Our factory was in great need of modernized lighting. It is important to us to meet today’s standards for a good working environment while also increasing energy efficiency. Therefore, the goal was a flexible and scalable system that is easy to install, wireless, and ready to adapt to future needs. At the same time it needs to be capable of integrating our existing DALI luminaires. Thanks to the ability to combine wireless and wired technology in ActiveAhead, we were able to achieve this in a simple and cost-effective way.
In large parts of the factory, we have now installed our smart Helags luminaire, adapted to different areas. For lighting control, some luminaires have been equipped with built-in Helvar ActiveAhead nodes that communicate with external ActiveAhead sensors. The technology enables seamless control where groups and zones can easily be configured via a mobile app, including the existing DALI luminaires that have been integrated into the network. In parts of the warehouse, we have also tested Helvar’s D4i node, which is directly integrated into the Helags luminaire.
The result is clear: energy consumption has been drastically reduced.
The combination of Helags’ high efficiency, presence sensors, and customized light levels based on need has created a highly efficient and flexible lighting solution. With Helvar’s intelligent presence detection, the lights are only on when and where they are needed. This helps us reducing operating costs and contributing to sustainability.
To further enhance the working environment, we have installed nine environmental sensors from Helvar that monitor light levels, temperature, air quality, CO₂, and noise levels. Thanks to ActiveAhead and the cloud-based Helvar Insights solution, we now have a clear real-time overview of the facility, with the ability to track operational efficiency, energy consumption, and maintenance needs.
This modernization has provided us with even and comfortable lighting across our entire 10,000 m² facility, from storage areas to assembly lines. With wireless control, energy savings, and future-proof technology, we are creating a work environment that benefits both people and the planet.
Choose smart lighting – simpler, brighter, greener.
