Lighting The Manufacturing Boom

The United States is currently enjoying a dramatic surge in construction in manufacturing infrastructure. This suggests fresh demand for lighting and controls and the expertise to properly apply them to industrial spaces.

In this project at Komatsu’s Texas manufacturing facility, Synapse Wireless provided a wireless lighting control system that enabled both lighting and HVAC control while conducting monitoring enabling timely maintenance for enhanced safety and manufacturing uptime.

Uline, a distributor of shipping and packaging solutions to businesses throughout North America, wanted all of the more than 3,000 lights in its 800,000-sq.ft. Lacey, WA facility to operate as a single system with one interface that in turn would work the company’s existing IT system. Uline selected Synapse Wireless, which designed an intelligent lighting solution that effectively manages all of the lights.

McWong International teamed with project partners Contemporary Energy Solutions, Pentalux, and Silvair to deploy a large TruBlu™ control network at Yamaha Motors’ midwestern distribution center, located in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. The SIG-qualified TruBlu mesh control network consists of 320 nodes and 40 control zones encompassing the 175,000 ft2 facility, and estimated energy savings exceed 250,000 kWh.
