Intelligent lighting for logistics supplier

GMK Logistics, a logistics supplier to the flooring industry, recently opened a new distribution centre at Gregory Hills, NSW. The company was specific that the facility’s lighting needed to meet the required lighting levels in the most energy-efficient manner.

After vetting many brands, the Digital Lumens Intelligent Lighting System from Maser stood out as the only choice. Using integrated occupancy and daylight sensors, the Digital Lumens Intelligent LED fixtures have been customised by Maser to deliver light only where and when needed, reducing proposed kWh consumption estimates of standard LED fixtures.

The GMK Digital Lumens Intelligent Lighting System consists of 192 intelligent LED fixtures and LightRules, a wireless lighting management system that communicates individually with each fixture to send user-defined operating profiles and also to collect usage data. Through LightRules, GMK can review lighting expenditure by time range, date range or specific areas, which allows the company to tailor lighting conditions to suit different shifts and tasks.

An example of the system flexibility is evident above the first aid room, where GMK has zoned specific fixtures and manipulated their active and inactive operation to keep the area safely illuminated at all times. This enables the company to meet both work health and safety practices and energy-efficiency goals.
