Throughout our production departments, we use LED lighting that adjusts itself according to the amount of natural light coming in from outside so we can optimize our energy/lighting consumption. 💡 The LED lights are controlled via DALI, which is an international standard for lighting control that makes it possible for each lamp to be individually switched on or dimmed as well as enabling their operation and consumption to be monitored. 🔍👌   Since the implementation of these smart LED lights, our light consumption has decreased. In addition, our colleagues can work with the same amount of light regardless of whether it is day or night. 🌞🌝   #proferro #sustainability #readyforthefuture
