Case study
IKEA Colombia
A high-volume CEDI looking to cut operating cost through lighting — without compromising visibility, safety, or the working conditions retail logistics demands.
The challenge
Always-on. Always paying.
IKEA's Colombia CEDI ran a conventional always-on lighting model — efficient on paper, expensive in practice. The brief was to bring operating cost down through energy reduction, while keeping every working area at the visibility level retail logistics requires and meeting Colombian RETILAP code.
The deployment
Motion-aware.Daylight-aware.
Aston Lighting LDN05 Smart Fixtures with motion and daylight harvesting, configured per operational zone. Output adapts to occupancy and ambient light.
Smart Fixtures — LDN05— Industrial LED specified to the CEDI's bay layout, replacing the legacy fixture set zone by zone.
Spark Mesh— Motion and daylight sensors integrated into the fixture array, feeding live occupancy and ambient-light data.
Spark Control— Per-zone policies tuned to operational rhythm — picking, replenishment, transit each carry their own profile.
Verified outcomes
Lower cost.Same visibility.
>40%
Lighting energy
Annual reduction
Over 40% drop versus pre-deployment baseline, driven by occupancy- and daylight-aware control.
RETILAP
Compliant
Code across the CEDI
Every operating zone in compliance with Colombian RETILAP for lighting and safety.
Adaptive operation
Sensors adjust intensity to occupancy and natural light, by zone, in real time.
Lower maintenance load
Smart sensors and per-zone configuration extend fixture life and reduce service intervals.
