Intelligent lighting system

After a successful initial pilot phase at the Lille Europe site in Lesquin, Geodis has outfitted its Distribution & Express platform in Rennes, France with LED lighting and connected sensors.

The objectives are to reduce electricity consumption, improve employee well-being with more natural lighting, optimise building temperature, better organise space for storage and flow management, and strengthen the safety of goods.

This IoT (Internet of Things) technology, designed in partnership with the company Enlighted delivers light fixtures, developed by Le Studio Led, that adjust according to ambient light levels or movements of people, thanks to their connected sensors. The installation and configuration are very simple and can be controlled remotely.

Recently equipped with 764 sensors and 921 light fixtures, the Rennes site (16,500 sqm) cut lighting costs by more than 85% in the first month of operating. Since the installation of this new equipment at the Rennes site, the workforce has noticed an improvement in visual comfort, because the intensity of each light fixture is customisable and adjustable according to natural light levels.

Moreover, this system enables real-time geo-tracking of goods on site, which is a real asset in terms of freight security.
