LED Upgrade & Smart Controls Accelerate Major Carbon & Cost Savings for Global Manufacturer

Overview

A global manufacturer serving the automotive supply chain; a sector that makes strong demands of its supplier base in terms of ESG and sustainability.

The project goal was to make the shift to energy-efficient LED panels. This upgrade was also an opportunity to introduce smart controls for additional savings and improved operational efficiency.

Our solution

Prime Controls collaborated closely with a global LED manufacturer to supply new 600×600 LED panels equipped with smart HubSense® drivers. HubSense adds a layer of intelligence to the luminaires – offering wireless capability combined with remote mains-powered Bluetooth PIRs.

The system was configured to enable:

  • Daylight control
  • Dimming
  • Automatic turn-off (when spaces were unoccupied)
  • Manual switch override (in meeting rooms)

 

The transition involved replacing existing luminaires on a like-for-like basis across five floors of office spaces, totalling around 300 luminaires.

The entire installation process, including commissioning, took five days, ensuring minimal disruption to operations. The commissioning phase, using HubSense® technology, was completed efficiently within a morning, including comprehensive training for the Operations Team.

Outcomes

“We’re so happy with the new system courtesy of Prime Controls. Not only have we noticed a considerable improvement in our working environment, but we’re also eagerly anticipating substantial energy savings, which will translate into significant cost reductions.

My team will benefit from an easy-to-use interface and streamlined maintenance, ensuring efficient operations management without unnecessary complexity.”
