Ardagh Glass - manufacturing site

Project outlines

One of the largest glass factories in Europe came to Nedap with a double-edged challenge: ‘How can we save energy and enhance safety in a harsh factory environment with a lot of moving parts?’

Saving energy now also means improved safety!’

Ardagh GlassNedap Luxon came up with a solution that did the job and more. By applying Nedap Luxon wireless technology in combination with Nedap Luxon 250W lamps, higher light levels and a better CRI were achieved, and the stroboscopic effect was eliminated. The results were impressive: human error was reduced due to the high-frequency lighting and energy savings rose to 40%. Nedap technology offers both increased safety and increased savings.

Ultimate Lighting Control
Most factories do not operate 24/7. So why leave the lights on during ‘down-time’? Nedap Luxon wireless offers a way to adapt lighting to the specific activities being performed in industrial working environments at particular times. This is achieved by Nedap’s automatic dimming systems. The results? Longer lamp life and significant energy savings. That is what Nedap calls ultimate lighting control!
