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.

Control Strategies

Occupancy / Vacancy Sensing
Turn lights on when occupants are in a space and off when they vacate the space. Alternate Functionality: Partial-on and manual-on modes are supported for additional savings and for more stringent local codes.
High-End Trim / Institutional Tuning
Set the maximum light level based on customer requirements in each space to prevent overlighting.
Local Dimming Control
Permit occupants to lower the light level below the high-end trim for comfort and additional savings.
Daylight Harvesting
Dim indoor and outdoor lighting when daylight is available. Multiple zones are supported where required by code.
HVAC Control
Manage smart thermostats and sensors to implement temperature setback of HVAC equipment based upon occupancy or timeclock.
Plug Load Control
Manage control of select plug loads for Energy Code Compliance and the elimination of phantom loads when the building is not occupied.
Automatic Scheduling & Timeclock*
Automatically dim or shut off lighting based on centrally managed schedules.
* Requires Autani Manager or CR02-W.A0.
Demand Response*
