TAKEALOT


JOHANNESBURG | GAUTENG

Takealot, South Africa’s largest online store, undertook to reduce its energy consumption in both its Johannesburg and Cape Town warehouses. RLS supplied two solutions, the first being a one-for-one replacement of the existing 4 x 80W TBay luminaires and the second being a new layout with fewer fittings. This was possible with the high performance of our Holda Pro 150W that reduced the total number of fittings required but maintained the required lux levels and uniformity in the warehouse offering a considerable power reduction to our client.  The Holda Pro 150W, 120-degree beam in the open area of the warehouse was supplied and the 30 x 90-degree beam between the racking.

To further assist in the quest for power reductions the ENCELIUM Lighting Control Management System was supplied. This is the first lighting management system Takealot has implemented on their premises.  It not only meets their lighting control requirements based on the demand to reduce energy consumption but also provides valuable live and historical visualization-based information such as energy consumption, heat mapping, and building occupancy. This info is made available to the facility managers and assists in reducing operational costs. The final step to completing our first ENCELIUM-based Lighting control system installation at Takealot was to run a fully autonomous process where the system interrogates each individual luminaire to determine its precise location and the influence this luminaire has on lux levels. This process is carried out in order to maximize the daylight harvesting efficiency of the system. As the luminaires are on all day due to a busy warehouse floor, daylight harvesting will provide higher energy savings than motion control. In other areas, we replaced Luminaires with outdated technology with LED Luminaires.
