Green technology illuminates the production department and warehouse area at PRIMA Industries, an Italian company with three divisions dedicated to the production of components for industrial vehicles, for labelling/bottling applications and for the lighting industry. Indeed, the company, which is renowned worldwide for the levels of quality, reliability and professionalism it provides to customers, has chosen Gewiss Smart [4] technology in order to improve the energy efficiency of lighting systems in its production department and warehouse.

Every activity that takes place at PRIMA Industries can be traced back to ' Quality thinking', the company philosophy that encapsulates the fundamental principles of perfection. In over twenty years of experience, PRIMA Industries has worked tirelessly to satisfy the needs of its customers, and is always on the look-out for high-quality, integrated production systems. All of the divisions of PRIMA Industries are engaged in a shared quest to identify new solutions and to look for new structures and services in line with market trends and customer requirements. Technology is one of the fundamental requirements for ensuring guaranteed quality. In line with this philosophy, the company has decided to replace the now-obsolete old-generation lighting system in its production and warehouse areas. After a careful analysis of the LED technologies available on the market, and guided by its expertise in the lighting sector, the company turned to Gewiss Smart [4] solutions, due to the fact that these meet the standards of quality and efficiency for which the company is recognised globally.

In contrast to the previous lighting solutions, the 86 Smart [4] devices installed at the facility were able to meet the three fundamental requirements of the new plant: Energy efficiency, visual comfort and sustainability. Indeed, these new technologies have guaranteed savings across the board (calculated on the basis of an average of 2600 hours of use per year), with a reduction in consumption from 105,092 kWh/year to just 25,938 KWh/year - a 75% decrease which equates to a saving of 79,154 KWh/year, equivalent to 15 tonnes of oil and 43 tonnes of CO2 not emitted into the atmosphere. In addition, the extreme ease of installation of the Smart [4] system allowed the company to replace the existing devices in just 7 days.

Marco Accorsi, head of the Prima Industries plant , commented: 'We are delighted to have chosen Gewiss quality, and this has received very positive immediate feedback from our employees, both from the point of view of comfort and with regard to general well-being and professional performance. The absence of chromatic dominance and dark spots has also brought about a visible improvement in the quality of work and in the physical and psychological health of employees.'

Aldo Bigatti, sales and marketing director for the Gewiss Lighting division, added : 'We are honoured that our Smart [4] technologies have been chosen by Prima Industries, are proud that this project, to which we have devoted a great deal of effort and commitment, is receiving positive and satisfactory feedback from the market. We work to innovate and to foster innovation, and as such, we are thrilled with the results achieved so far.'
