From my many years of logistics experience, I know the lighting options and solutions. Many objects would do well to adopt solutions like the one we have. My name is Jan Hertel and I am the manager of the dispatch center at Häfele in Hanover or in Lehrte. Häfele is a supplier for handicraft businesses and they have thousands of small parts that are stored in this warehouse and are then taken out by the order pickers and simply shipped to the customer. My name is Roland Kretschmer. We are one of the first companies to deal with renewable energy/energy efficiency and energy saving is just our theme. At the end of 2018, we designed and built our new logistics center. Good illumination is required in the picking process and, for example, colors must be clearly visible. Accordingly, we had high expectations for the illumination. The particular problem on site was that we have relatively high shelving systems where you normally leave the lights on all the time. My name is Nils Roth. I am a technical sales consultant at the company WAGO. These huge pick towers have a tremendous connected load of several hundred kilowatts. Well, if you have the lights on all the time, you have immense energy consumption, even with LED lighting. Therefore you need a good lighting control. For KEC, the cooperation with WAGO is very efficient, since we have a fieldbus-independent system in our controllers. This simply allows KEC to focus entirely on the actual project and the solution at the customer's site and not deal specifically with the controllers or with the connection to the end customer's building control system on site. With WAGO automation technology, we were able to move to a central control system, with which we have many, many more options than with the individual control of the aisles. This means that our motion detectors can now send their signals to the WAGO controller, and the WAGO controller runs a very complex program, with which we not only detect the individual aisle, for example 'Light on - Light off', but can also ask for an entire area Is there any activity at all? And if no activity is detected, we can put the entire area into a standby mode. 44 00:02:55,690 --> 00:02:59,980 This gives us yet another new opportunity to save energy and we can design much more individually. The solution itself is optimal because it offers Häfele's end customer energy savings, but also provides a certain level of comfort during operation. And that means employees always have the right illuminance available. This simply offers the great added value: comfort and energy savings in one. So it's actually a win-win situation for the customer. In the end, I can read on the electricity meter what I get out of it and it's not insignificant.
