Summary of work carried out
Adaptive area lighting and security system on an industrial site
- Design and lighting calculations — DIALux calculations for three areas, with target levels to EVS-EN 12464-2:2025
- Cabling — power and data cabling
- Construction of outdoor distribution boards — assembly, installation and connection
- Control system installation — DALI controllers, motion sensors, zone-based control
- Smart system integration — management of modes and scenes from a phone app
- Testing and documentation
A yard whose purpose keeps changing
Sama territoorium on kord parkla, kord ladustamisala. Standard ei ole nendel kahel juhul sama: parkimisalale näeb EVS-EN 12464-2:2025 ette 5–10 lx, juhusliku liiklusega tööstushoovi ladustamisalale 20 lx. Fikseeritud lahendus tähendaks, et põletatakse kogu aeg täisvõimsusel valgustust.
Jaotasime platsi kolmeks alaks, igaühel oma režiim ja erinevad nõuded:
- Area in front of the office — full lighting during working hours, then night mode driven by sensors
- Vehicle movement area — minimum level, rising when movement is detected
- Rear yard — permanently at minimum level, lit only when needed
Standard ja vastavus: kui alal inimesi ei viibi, tohib nõutavat keskmist valgustustihedust vähendada. Adaptiivsus aitab kokku hoida püsikuludelt.
After dark the lighting switches on according to sunrise and sunset algorithms, with no photocell — there is no sensor to clean or replace.
Miks just Adaptiivne?
The system has 18 luminaires, drawing 1206 W in total at full output. The calculation follows the logic of EN 13201-5:2015, at 11 hours a day, 365 days a year:
- Continuous full output: approx. 4,842 kWh per year
- Adaptive, at 10% active time: approx. 1,532 kWh per year
- Difference: roughly 50–60% saved on energy
This is a calculated estimate — the actual result depends on how the yard is used. The saving is not limited to the electricity bill: luminaires that do not run at full output all night last longer.
Ilma kuutasuta, ilma tootja poolse lukustuseta
A manufacturer's own remote management platform would have come with an annual licence fee. We built the solution around IoT instead: all control and monitoring belongs to the client, and the phone app and remote access cost nothing to run. The client can change modes and scenes themselves — with no DALI specialist, no software licence and no dependency on one particular service provider. Extending the system requires nothing more than a competent electrician.
The controllers comply with IEC 62386-101 and -207 and are DALI Alliance certified. The equipment carries CE marking under the RED, EMC, LVD and RoHS directives.
A security system that adapts to how the yard is used
Sama probleem kordub turvapoolel. Kui konteiner või masin on täna siin ja järgmisel kuul seal, tähendaks kaabeldatud valve iga kord uut paigaldustööd.
Ajaxi süsteem pakkus seekord lahenduse kui platsi paigutus muutub, tõstetakse andurid ümber ja süsteem toimib edasi ilma kaevetööde, kaabelduseta ja uue projektita.
- Video surveillance — a camera with analytics that distinguishes people from vehicles, and a PTZ camera with optical zoom that can zoom 25× across the yard without losing image sharpness.
- Juhtmevabad välisandurid — ümbertõstetavad vastavalt vajadusele
- Door contacts — detecting containers and storage rooms being opened
- Outdoor siren — can also be triggered manually from the phone
- Compatible with an alarm receiving centre — can be connected to a monitoring company if required
Compliance and standards
Valgustuse standardinõuded ja energiatõhusus:
- EVS-EN 12464-2:2025 — lighting of outdoor work places; levels set according to the intended use of each area (Table 8, items 8.1 and 8.2; Table 18, item 18.1)
- EN 13201-5:2015 — energy performance indicators for road lighting
Control system and DALI controllers:
- IEC 62386-101 — general requirements for the DALI bus; single-master application controller (clause 4.6.4)
- IEC 62386-207 — control of DALI LED control gear (DT6)
- DALI Alliance certified — the devices are listed in the DALI Alliance official product database
- UK PSTI Act — cyber security compliance
CE marking under the following directives:
- 2014/53/EU — radio equipment (RED)
- 2014/30/EU — electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
- 2014/35/EU — low voltage (LVD)
- 2011/65/EU — restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS)
Miks just selline lahendus?
A site whose use keeps changing cannot be solved with a fixed installation. A fixed lighting solution means running at full output across every area, all the time. A hard-wired alarm means that every rearrangement brings new installation work. Either way, the client keeps paying for the privilege of changing the solution — and it does not have to be that way.
Meie lähtekoht oli vastupidine: valgustatuse vajadus arvutatakse iga ala jaoks eraldi, süsteem järgib tegelikku kasutust ja klient saab seda ise muuta. Kõik on arvutatud enne, mõõdetud pärast ja dokumenteeritud — nii et laiendamine ja muutused on kliendile äärmiselt lihtsad ja odavad.
