MediluX intelligent dynamic light control systems
Step 1 - Orientation
In this early phase of a project, our goal is to make the management and operational teams aware of the special effect light has on the performance and health of operational people.
The following aspects and decisions are treated:
- Light and performance
- Light and health
- Light and human wellbeing
- Light and atmosphere
- Light and vision
- Light and uniformity
- Applicable Standards
- New technical developments
Who are involved?
- A plant’s policy makers
- Architect
- Ergonomists
- MediluX light specialist
Step 2 - Light strategy
It is important that the light strategy is in compliance with the plant strategies.
To determine the correct light strategy, the following are taken into account:
- The optimal scheme of light intensity and color around the clock based on the operational 24/7 shift schedule of the particular operation.
- Energy strategy and procedures
- Emergency light systems
- Daylight contributions (through windows)
- Light and workplace (conditions for reading, writing, and displaying work)
- Design
- Aesthetics of light fixtures and lamps
- Visual consistency
- Color of the light:
- Routing
- Visual conduction
- Attention value improvement
- Costs & operational management:
- Investment
- Energy management.
- Maintenance management
- Technical infrastructure:
- Cabling
- Light fixtures; for example, in relation to the ceiling system.
- Controls; central control panel, remote panels, etc.
- Thermal management:
- Life cycle of the lamps
- Life cycle of the fixtures
The final objective is to have the basic material ready to initiate the conceptual design.
Who are involved?
- A plant’s policy makers
- Architect
- Ergonomists
- MediluX light specialist
Step 3 - Conceptual & Final design
As usually is the norm for controlling planning and budgets, it is important to first create a conceptual design and then a final design. During creation, the designs are evaluated by reviewers that are part of an approval cycle. Compliance with the approved strategy in the design documents is essential.
Step 4 - Delivery and Implementation
MediluX has the knowledge and experience to deliver and implement the total intelligent dynamic light system (Turnkey). For more information, please refer to our company brochure.
In this phase of the project, the operational shift workers must be involved to create acceptance of the dynamic light system and to gain maximum results!
Step 5 - Start-up & Tuning
The start-up and tuning will be done by a MediluX specialist. This specialist will also introduce the dynamic light system to the 24/7 shift workers and collect the feedback from each shift team.
This feedback may serve as input for further finetuning of the dynamic light system.
If required, an additional scientific study can be conducted. For more information, please refer to our company brochure.
Step 6 - Maintenance
Lamps and fixtures are subject to aging. In addition, pollution caused by dust has substantial influence on the performance of lamps and fixtures. As a result, maintenance is required.
MediluX offers a range of dedicated service contracts. For more information, please refer to our company brochure.
Customized design
Every control room is different in, for example:
- Amount of daylight
- Number of operators
- Shift schedule
- Design of the control room and associated rooms
- Number and quality of displays
- Workplace activities
Therefore, for each individual control room, the lighting system must be customized. MediluX offers the following steps to implement their intelligent dynamic light system:
