                 — Intelligent Lighting Solution for TPV Technology

Project Background:

TPV Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of TPV Technology Limited, is a leading manufacturer of display products, including monitors and televisions. With a strong commitment to quality and innovation, TPV operates a modern production facility in Thailand that plays a vital role in the global electronics supply chain. To enhance operational efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and improve the working environment for its employees, TPV Technology sought to upgrade its lighting systems throughout the facility.

Challenges & Needs:

Before the lighting upgrade, TPV Technology faced several significant challenges:

• Inconsistent Lighting Levels: Certain areas of the production floor experienced uneven lighting, which hindered the precision required for assembly and quality control processes, particularly in tasks that demanded high attention to detail.

• High Energy Costs: The existing lighting system relied on outdated fluorescent and incandescent bulbs, leading to excessive energy consumption and rising electricity expenses.

• Frequent Maintenance Issues: The old lighting fixtures were prone to outages, necessitating regular maintenance that disrupted production schedules and reduced overall operational efficiency.

• Worker Discomfort: Employees reported visual fatigue and discomfort due to prolonged exposure to poorly lit environments, particularly in areas requiring sustained focus and concentration.

Solution:

To address these challenges, TPV Technology collaborated with lighting specialists to develop a comprehensive lighting solution tailored to their specific production needs. The solution focused on enhancing lighting quality, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring worker comfort. Key components of the solution included:

• Customized Lighting Design: An extensive evaluation of the production lines and assembly areas was conducted to determine optimal lighting levels and fixture placement. This tailored approach ensured uniform light distribution, effectively eliminating shadows and enhancing visibility in critical work zones.

• Energy-Efficient LED Lighting: The outdated lighting infrastructure was replaced with high-efficiency LED fixtures. LEDs provide superior brightness, longer service life, and lower energy consumption compared to traditional lighting sources. The selected LEDs also offered excellent color rendering, enabling workers to accurately assess the quality of their work.

• Uniform Lighting Quality: The new lighting system ensured consistent illumination across the facility. High-quality LED fixtures with adjustable output were installed in key areas, such as assembly lines and quality control stations, to enhance both visual comfort and task accuracy.

• Smart Lighting Control System: To maximize energy savings and operational flexibility, a smart lighting control system was introduced. This system allows for real-time adjustments based on occupancy and ambient light conditions, ensuring that lighting is optimized for both energy efficiency and task-specific needs. Features such as motion sensors and daylight harvesting further reduce energy waste.

• Improved Worker Environment: The upgraded lighting system significantly enhanced the working environment. By optimizing color temperature and minimizing flicker, the new system reduced visual discomfort, promoting a healthier and more productive atmosphere for employees.

Project Outcomes:

• Energy Savings: TPV Technology achieved a 30-35% reduction in energy consumption, resulting in significant cost savings on electricity bills.

• Increased Operational Efficiency: The improved lighting design contributed to better visibility, accuracy, and speed on the production floor, enhancing overall productivity.

• Lower Maintenance Requirements: The shift to LED lighting significantly reduced maintenance needs, decreasing both downtime and repair costs.

• Improved Employee Comfort: The optimized lighting conditions alleviated visual discomfort and fatigue, fostering a healthier and more productive work environment.

• Sustainability Impact: The energy-efficient lighting solution supports TPV Technology's sustainability goals by lowering the facility’s carbon footprint, contributing to a greener manufacturing process.

Conclusion:

The lighting solution implemented at TPV Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has successfully addressed the challenges of energy inefficiency, uneven lighting, and worker comfort.
