The experts at Zumtobel explain more about why the TECTON continuous-row lighting system, when integrated with High Accuracy Positioning (HAP) technology, offers a groundbreaking lighting solution for the future.
Zumtobel’s High Accuracy Positioning (HAP) combines luminaires with IoT technology to enable intelligent analysis in the retail, industry, and logistics sectors. As such, real-time tracking of objects and people with precision down to the nearest metre becomes possible.
The data collected from this technology enhances production, intralogistics and optimises shop management, bringing transparency and significantly improving retail, industry, and logistics efficiency.
Building the foundations
HAP is the digital foundation of a building’s infrastructure in conjunction with Zumtobel’s TECTON continuous-row lighting system. By transforming lighting into an intelligent network, HAP provides access to various Internet of Things (IoT) applications with minimal effort and investment.
HAP employs tagging technologies and Bluetooth devices to detect the movement of goods and people. Integrating HAP tags into the TECTON continuous-row lighting system enables real-time tracking down to the nearest metre, thereby enhancing efficiency.
Incorporating digital applications into lighting design ensures future readiness while delivering substantial cost savings. Compared to a new installation, HAP luminaires can reduce infrastructure expenses by up to 20%.
Additional benefits include simplified cable routing and lower service costs, with Zumtobel’s support team available to assist with installation and commissioning.
Added value in production and logistics
Zumtobel Industry Analytics leverages the collected position and movement data to represent the real world digitally. Production and logistics companies can utilise this to visualise and analyse workflows in a digital model.
This data-driven approach enables monitoring, analysis, and documentation of stock levels, goods movement, and tool/equipment location. These insights facilitate a comprehensive understanding of industrial processes, improving product quality and minimising downtime.
