Veeco Services, a full-service logistics provider, was facing significant challenges with its warehouse lighting system. A lighting audit conducted in January 2019 revealed that the high-intensity discharge (HID) fixtures lighting Veeco’s 615,000 square feet warehouse were inefficient, costly to maintain, and emitted poor levels of lighting. The warehouse, which has 117 dock doors and more than 34,000 pallet locations, had recently upgraded to a new racking system that added more rows and narrow aisles. This change necessitated a revamp and retrofit of the existing HID lighting system to improve safety and efficiency. The challenge was to find a solution that would not only enhance lighting quality but also integrate with IoT technology for real-time adjustments based on environmental and occupancy changes.

Veeco Services decided to replace the existing HID lighting system with a more efficient and flexible solution. A detailed photometric study of the new aisles and loading dock area was conducted, leading to the creation of an improved lighting design using 168-watt high bay LEDs. To integrate IoT capabilities, Veeco installed the Enlighted IoT platform, which included Enlighted’s smart sensors. These sensors allowed for real-time adjustments of lighting based on environmental and occupancy changes in the warehouse. The solution provided a user-friendly control interface for making changes and updates to lighting groups and profiles, allowing for flexible customization over time. This combination of high-efficiency LED fixtures and smart, IoT-enabled controls resulted in a significant reduction in energy and maintenance costs.
