Meeting warehouse sustainability targets with connected lighting

ForestOne develops a smart, sustainable Warehouse of the Future with Interact

City of Berrinba, Australia

ForestOne teamed up with Signify to install a connected lighting solution that maximizes energy savings with a lighting-on-demand infrastructure and improves employee safety with the right levels of light.

The energy savings we achieved with Interact exceeded our expectations. We lowered our electricity consumption by 70%, improving our bottom line. We are setting an example for sustainable operations within our industry.”

- Jon Battelley, Group Operations at ForestOne

Customer challenge

As a company with the goal of minimizing the impact of buildings on the environment, ForestOne embarked on a journey to transform their new Berrinba warehouse into a smart and sustainable operation. Their main challenge was reducing their high energy consumption, but they also aimed to reduce operational costs and enhance the working environment for their employees. They needed a technologically advanced smart lighting solution that was scalable, flexible, and easy to install.

The solution

Signify developed an on-demand lighting infrastructure for ForestOne, with sensors integrated into the lighting fixtures. The Interact system intelligently adjusts lighting levels and bahaviors based on occupancy and natural light levels. The solution provides substantial energy savings of up to 70%, as compared to a non-connected solution, minimizing the company's carbon footprint and supporting it’s commitment to sustainability. The wireless solution allowed for fast commissioning and a smooth installation, while dramatically reducing cabling costs and environmental impact. 280 luminaires were programmed in just one working day.

With the ability to reconfigure the space in the future based on evolving business needs, and to scale up to other facilities across the business, ForestOne now has the flexible and scalable lighting solution they were seeking. Additionally, ForestOne employees now have access to high-quality, reliable lighting, which is essential for continuous operations and safety in industrial facilities.
