Project Background:

Baekdu Mountain Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. was established in 1995 and is headquartered in Changchun, Jilin Province, China. The company is a comprehensive pharmaceutical enterprise specializing in the research, production, and sales of Chinese traditional medicines, chemical drugs, and biopharmaceuticals. Its product range includes treatments for cardiovascular diseases, digestive systems, infections, immune regulation, and more. Through advanced production technologies and stringent quality control, Baekdu Mountain Pharmaceutical Group has gained strong recognition in both domestic and international markets. The company operates multiple production bases and is committed to continuous innovation in drug development, providing high-quality healthcare products to meet the needs of its customers.

Challenges & Needs:

Before the lighting upgrade,TCL encountered several challenges:

• Outdated Lighting Technology: Baekdu Mountain Pharmaceutical relied on outdated lighting systems, which were energy-inefficient and led to high electricity consumption.

• Uneven Lighting Distribution: The lighting was uneven across production and warehouse areas, with some zones too bright and others too dark, leading to an uncomfortable and inefficient working environment.

• Frequent Maintenance and Replacement: The aging lighting fixtures required frequent maintenance and bulb replacements, adding to operational costs and disrupting the production process.

Solution:

We collaborated with Baekdu Mountain Pharmaceutical to provide an energy-efficient lighting solution that improved lighting distribution and reduced maintenance costs. The solution prioritized both energy savings and a comfortable working environment for employees.

• Energy-Efficient LED Retrofit: Baekdu Mountain Pharmaceutical upgraded its lighting systems with LED lights, resulting in a sharp reduction in energy consumption while maintaining sufficient lighting for their critical production processes.

• Smart Dimming and Scheduling: The new lighting system was designed to automatically adjust lighting levels based on the time of day and occupancy, which optimized energy use while still providing the necessary brightness for production.

• Optimized Lighting Distribution: The lighting layout was redesigned to provide consistent and uniform illumination throughout production and warehouse areas, eliminating previously dark spots that affected productivity and safety.

• Reduced Operational Downtime: The LED lights' longer lifespan and lower maintenance requirements helped reduce the operational downtime related to lighting issues, improving the overall efficiency of the facility.

• Compliance with Health and Safety Standards: The new lighting system meets both local and international health and safety standards, ensuring that the working environment is compliant with regulations and providing employees with a safer and more comfortable workspace.

Project Outcomes:

• Energy Savings: Reduced energy costs by 40% through an LED lighting retrofit.

• Decreased Maintenance: Minimized ongoing maintenance needs, reducing operational disruptions.

• Enhanced Workplace Conditions: Improved lighting distribution, boosting safety, efficiency, and employee comfort.

Conclusion:

Baekdu Mountain Pharmaceutical’s lighting retrofit resulted in a 40% reduction in energy costs, aligning with their environmental goals. The new lighting system also minimized maintenance needs, reducing downtime and repair costs. Improved lighting distribution enhanced both safety and productivity within the production and warehouse areas. This retrofit has delivered both operational and financial benefits for the company.
