How to set up a building automation control system for a Warehouse

Nearly 66% of the utility spend in a warehouse can be attributed to lighting. By adding highbay sensors, you can be sure that all areas of your warehouse or manufacturing facility are always lit to the most appropriate levels, balancing both safety and savings. Lights can be virtually grouped to dim and switch on/off together. Each fixture is also individually addressable, allowing for the most flexibility and the most savings. Whether you own or lease your warehouse space, managing your facilities with Autani can reduce energy and maintenance costs, creating a more comfortable and secure operating environment for your customers and your employees.
