How it turned out elsewhere
Motion sensors in a warehouse
Aisle lighting ran at full output for the whole shift, even in aisles nobody entered. The fittings were the halogen type common at the time, drawing hundreds of watts each.
The electricity saving came from two steps at once: swapping halogen fittings for LED cut the power draw roughly tenfold, and motion-based control added a further few per cent on top – lights run only when a person or equipment is in the aisle.
Forklift efficiency and utilisation
The size of the forklift fleet was based on an estimate rather than on how much the trucks were actually used.
The measured utilisation showed that the planned purchase of two more forklifts was unnecessary – and after adjusting processes the company managed with one fewer forklift than before.
Label pairing check
Internal, warehouse and customer labels did not match. The error surfaced at the customer – a complaint and a contractual penalty.
Faulty deliveries are caught before dispatch, not at the customer.
