SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC WAREHOUSE


MIDRAND | GAUTENG

RLS was approached by Lokissa Lighting Solutions to participate in the tender submission for lighting design and supply of the lighting for the Schneider Electric Warehouse in Midrand, Johannesburg.

The brief was to simulate a solution that would achieve an average of 600 lux at the workstations and main warehouse floor, and 250 lux between the racking and storage area. The warehouse lighting was designed using the Holda Pro 150W mounted at 8 metres with 120° lensing. With this, we were able to able to achieve 640 lux in the main warehouse and 290 lux between the racking. Another requirement was that all of the lighting was to be integrated into the existing BMS system. Using the locally manufactured Holda Pro in the lighting design as well as our in-house lighting controls specialist, RLS provided a lighting solution for this project.

RLS supplied lighting for the warehouse offices, ablution areas as well as storage rooms. Recessed Luxon Prism 300 x 1200 Backlit complete with side inlay panels and Dali dimmable power supplies were used in the offices. Elux 70 downlighters for the ablution areas and the Nasa 1200mm 43W surface mounted fitting in the storage areas.

 

Our in-house lighting controls specialist worked with Lokissa Lighting and the Schneider Electric engineering team to design the lighting controls required that would integrate our lighting into the existing main Building Management System. The requirements were to integrate motion control and daylight harvesting in the warehouse that would achieve various lux levels within specific zones. The standard consumption and fault tracking within the warehouse, office and storage areas can be displayed at the main Schneider Head Office, due to the lux requirements for these areas. The control system communication to all luminaires and sensors was done via DALI 2. The communication to the BMS was dine via MODBUS TCP/IP. The Holda Pro 150W highbays exceeded the client's expectations and met the desired levels at the night inspections and during onsite commissioning.
