Using digital lighting to save energy and costs

Today's lighting systems offer more energy-efficient lighting and better lighting control opportunities. Connection to IoT (Internet of Things) technologies provides enormous advantages in terms of efficient consumption monitoring and management, enabling continuous, optimal and real-time adjustment of lighting systems according to energy requirements. But how much energy is saved? With this type of lighting, energy savings of between 35 and 70 per cent on total lighting costs and up to a 95 per cent reduction in maintenance costs are achieved. Through the White Certificates, or Energy Efficiency Certificates (TEE), recognised by the Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE), it is possible to certify the achievement of energy savings through interventions and projects to increase energy efficiency in various areas, including industry.

Digital industrial lighting

The digital lighting technologies that can be applied in the industrial environment are diverse and each is characterised by a functionality according to the context of application:

• LED lighting systems represent the best performing technology to achieve integration between natural and artificial light.
• The remote monitoring system is the key to managing digital industrial lighting: it constantly monitors and receives information about energy consumption and system status in real time.
• The sensor network detects activity within a given area.

Digital lighting makes industrial environments safer, more comfortable and energy efficient as it integrates lighting, communication and sensing requirements. At Quantum, we are experts in industrial lighting and help our customers reduce energy costs, maintenance and CO2 emissions with turnkey energy-efficient operations. We tailor our projects to the real needs of the customer and the production site, designing customised and tailor-made solutions. One of our main goals is also to utilise the power of light to improve the way our customers work and live, using Human Centric Lighting, a type of lighting that focuses on people and their daily rhythms, which has a positive effect on people's well-being and work performance.
