Smart Warehouse Lighting Control System in UAE
IPACK Abu Dhabi

Client: IPACK – International Aseptic Paperboard Mfg. LLC
Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE
Completed on: November 2025

We implemented a smart lighting control system for the warehouse at IPACK – International Aseptic Paperboard Mfg. LLC in Abu Dhabi.
The system includes full integration with the Building Management System (BMS) along with a centralized visualization setup. This allows facility managers to easily monitor, manage and control the warehouse lighting system.

The goal of the project was to improve lighting control, increase energy efficiency, and provide better operational visibility for the facility team.

Client Requirements

As the warehouse operates continuously, the client required a lighting control solution that would:

  • Improve energy efficiency across the warehouse
  • Provide flexible lighting control for different operational needs
  • Integrate the lighting system with the BMS platform
  • Allow centralized monitoring and visualization of the lighting system
  • Ensure reliable and stable system performance

The system also needed to support automation while allowing manual control when required.

Our Analysis & Solutions

After reviewing the warehouse layout and operational requirements, we designed and implemented a KNX-based lighting control system using Hager KNX modules.

The solution integrates the warehouse lighting system with the Building Management System (BMS), allowing centralized monitoring and control. The lighting control system uses multiple control methods including sensors, timers and keypads to ensure the lighting operates efficiently based on warehouse activity and environmental conditions.

Key Features

  • Smart lighting control system for warehouse operations
  • Integration with the Building Management System (BMS)
  • Centralized visualization and monitoring platform
  • Multiple lighting control methods for flexibility
  • Reliable Hager KNX system topology

System Highlights

Warehouse Lighting Control

The warehouse lighting system allows facility teams to manage lighting efficiently across the space. Lighting can be controlled automatically or manually depending on operational needs.

This improves visibility in the warehouse while reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

Sensor-Based Lighting Automation

Motion and environmental sensors are used to control lighting automatically based on activity inside the warehouse. Lights turn on when required and switch off when areas are not in use.

This helps reduce electricity usage and supports energy-efficient warehouse operations.

Timer-Based Lighting Control

Timers allow lighting schedules to be set according to operational hours. This ensures that lighting operates only during required periods, improving overall energy efficiency.

Outdoor Light Sensor Integration

Outdoor light sensors adjust lighting based on natural daylight conditions. This helps maintain proper lighting levels inside the facility while reducing unnecessary power consumption.

Manual Override and Keypad Control

Override switches and control keypads allow facility staff to manually control lighting when needed. This ensures flexibility for maintenance activities or special operational requirements.

System Overview

Automation protocol: KNX
Control hardware: Hager KNX modules
Lighting control type: On/Off switching
Integration: Building Management System (BMS)
Control methods: Sensors, keypads, timers, outdoor light sensors, override switches

The system is designed to provide reliable lighting control and stable performance for warehouse operations.

Outcome & Results

  • Improved control and monitoring of the warehouse lighting system
  • Better energy efficiency through sensor-based automation
  • Seamless integration with the Building Management System
  • Flexible control using sensors, timers, and manual overrides
  • Reliable KNX-based lighting infrastructure

The smart lighting system now helps the facility team manage warehouse lighting more efficiently while supporting smooth daily operations.
