How to Evaluate Light Pollution Concerns and Address Environmental Impacts, From Fixture Selection to Design Criteria, Using Intelligent Lighting Automation Techniques

This paper will address industrial lighting application scenarios and common design practices, to meet corporate environmental goals while improving safety. Through the implementation of an intelligent lighting optimization process for pulp & paper mills, this paper will explain how to achieve environmentally friendly lighting design practices with simple yet efficient techniques for lighting automation and fixture selection. The paper will additionally highlight the benefits of intelligent lighting systems such as energy savings, increased productivity, labor efficiency and safety, and applications that align with paper mills of the future.How the Internet of Things (IoT) solutions offer insights to the technicians and engineers to mitigate downtime will be addressed in this paper. Regarding safety, there is an opportunity to reduce risks in troubleshooting and maintaining paper mill lighting systems. The six-step design methodology is introduced in this paper.
