As a framework contract partner of the REWE Group, the ROMBERG Group is responsible for consulting, conception, planning, and implementation of the logistics hub’s complete LED lighting – and relies on customised solutions from TRILUX lighting. Across all logistics areas, 20 km of E-Line NEXT LED continuous rows provide tailor-made, high-quality, and energy-efficient LED lighting. The ground-breaking ceremony took place in spring 2020, with completion scheduled for mid-2022.
The new REWE Central Warehouse North in Henstedt-Ulzburg is part of REWE’s sustainability strategy, leading the way to green logistics. The 85,000 square metre complex includes a logistics and administration centre, multi-storey car park, and outdoor areas. The overall sustainable building concept, scores highly for its self-generated electricity through photovoltaics, combined heat, power, and cooling (CHP) from a combined heat and power plant (CHP)and low power energy-efficient LED lighting.
They are all working towards one goal: a GOLD certification by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). Jochen Vogel, CEO of REWE Region North, says, “Short transport routes, perfectly coordinated spaces and processes, and a highly efficient building, make the new logistics location a showcase project in terms of sustainability.”
The regional warehouse supplies REWE food stores in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein with fruit, vegetables, chilled goods, meat, dry, frozen, medical, and non-food produce.
Different logistics areas: one continuous-row lighting system
The challenge: to illuminate the various logistics areas, which have ceiling heights between five and 32 metres, and operate in temperatures ranging from -24°C to + 26°C, with precision. The lighting solution of choice: E-Line NEXT LED from TRILUX. The continuous row can be flexibly adapted to each application regarding lighting technology, protection, and mounting type – all with an efficiency of up to 190 lm/W while providing a high-quality and sustainable light.
To date, 50 percent of the luminaires have been installed. Each area has a customised version. In the refrigerated warehouses, E-Line NEXT LED protected to IP64 is used; in the other zones, the IP20 version has been selected. Customised lighting technology ensures perfect lighting everywhere; for example, in the 32metre high halls, the E-Line NEXT LED with deep-beam optics and approx. Eight thousand lumens is the ideal solution. To increase the overall energy efficiency of the lighting, the luminaires are networked and combined with sensors for presence detection.
Holistic project, sustainable implementation
The E-Line NEXT LED installation is complemented by 500 Oleveon Fit LED moisture-proof luminaires in the logistics and intralogistics areas, the specialist areas, and the loading bay. TRILUX lighting solutions have also been used in other building areas – a total of 2,000 Siella LED recessed ceiling luminaires in the offices and conference rooms. 136 Mondia wall-mounted and surface-mounted luminaires in corridors, ancillary spaces, and recreation rooms. 300 Sonnos LED downlights light the staircases and WCs. In addition, the car park will be equipped with 152 Oleveon Fit LED moisture-proof luminaires.
“The TRILUX LED Shuttle is a beneficial tool for large-scale projects; it speeds up the process considerably, and at the same time greatly reduces the amount of waste,” explains Nicolas Kraft, Head of Key Account Management at TRILUX.
Instead of shipping the E-Line NEXT LED modules individually packaged or as a project bundle on pallets, the luminaires are preassembled specifically for the project- in a five-meter-long transport system with wheels – and delivered to the construction site, almost without any packaging. “This not only significantly simplifies unpacking and reloading onto the working platforms, but also saves enormous amounts of packaging waste,” Detlef Iseken confirms. So here, too, the company is acting in the spirit of sustainability.
