Intelligent lighting system: a popular science analysis of investment and return
Release time: 2024-05-28
In today's society, green development has become the mainstream trend in the industrial field, and intelligent lighting, as an advanced technology integrating energy saving and intelligent management, is gradually becoming the focus of transformation and upgrading of many enterprises. This article aims to popularize the investment composition and return cycle of intelligent lighting system in a simple way, especially the economic factors that need to be considered when upgrading lighting system, so that you fully understand its potential in economic benefits.
I. Overview of investment in intelligent lighting systems
The composition of the startup capital of intelligent lighting system is diversified, mainly covering several core sectors:
- Hardware facilities: including intelligent lamps, sensors (motion, light sensors, etc.), intelligent control panels, communication gateways, etc. High-quality LED lamps and advanced sensors are the key to energy conservation and emission reduction, directly determining lighting quality and energy efficiency. For medium-sized factories, this investment can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.
- Software platform: management system installed on cloud or local server, responsible for data processing, remote control, scenario setting, energy consumption analysis, etc. Software authorization and customized development are also part of the investment.
- Installation, commissioning and construction: installation and commissioning costs of professional teams, and possible wiring adjustment costs. Although PLC communication technology reduces additional wiring, construction costs are still a consideration.
- Training and maintenance: staff training and initial maintenance expenses to ensure stable operation of the system.
Second, lighting energy-saving upgrading and expected return cycle
Energy-saving transformation measures:
- LED Lighting replacement: Replace traditional lighting equipment with leds to significantly reduce energy consumption while enjoying a longer life.
- Intelligent control: Automatically adjust brightness and color temperature according to actual needs, further energy saving.
- Induction technology: light induction and human body induction with time control, automatic switch or adjust the light, save energy.
Return cycle analysis:
- Energy efficiency: Intelligent lighting saves an average of 20%-80% of energy consumption, and a factory with an annual lighting cost of 1 million yuan can theoretically save up to 800,000 yuan.
- Maintenance cost: failure warning and life prediction, reduce maintenance frequency, and save money in the long run.
- Efficiency and satisfaction: Good lighting improves employee efficiency and satisfaction, indirectly increasing productivity.
- Policy subsidies: Some regions give subsidies or tax incentives to accelerate the return of the current period.
Overall, the payback cycle is more than 2 to 5 years, efficient projects or within 2 years, while large-scale high-end systems may take longer.
Iii. Conclusion
Intelligent lighting solutions and energy-saving transformation are the only way for enterprises to move towards green and efficient development. Although the initial investment is large, the long-term energy-saving effect, management improvement and economic benefits make it a choice worth investing in. Enterprises should carefully evaluate the cost and benefit ratio based on their own situation, and choose the appropriate intelligent lighting scheme. At the same time, with the help of government policies and industry cooperation, we will promote the popularity of intelligent lighting and move towards a greener and more efficient industrial future.
