Automotive

Automotive manufacturers use a great deal of lighting so that the workers can keep a close watch on the quality of the parts or cars being produced.

Powerlink centers provide a means of controlling lighting in specific areas of the plant and scheduling the lights to be off when the plant is not operating.  Powerlink centers can be built in column width panels, which are commonly used in automotive plants and typically mounted in the protective web of I-beams used in the structure of the building.

Powerlink systems can make sure that lighting is only on in sections of the plant that are being used.  Different schedules can be used in different parts of the plant, or Clipsal keypads or Clipsal touch screens with graphic layouts of the plant can be used as operator interfaces to turn the lights on when needed.

Occupancy sensors can be used in smaller office areas, rest rooms, and storage areas to minimize electrical consumption in those areas.

In some cases, the energy conserved by Powerlink can be claimed as a credit for pollution purposed, and that credit can be claimed elsewhere in the plant.  Inclusion of Powerlogic metering can verify these energy savings.
