Energy saving technology automates operations and saves energy for industries and corporates
BANGALORE – June 27, 2013 – Kakatiya Energy Systems, an energy management company, announced today its new Nature Switch™ Indoor lighting control system. Nature Switch™ Indoor is an affordable, off–the-shelf alternative to traditional lighting controls, specially designed to automate indoor light switches based on lumen levels selected, reducing energy wastages normally associated with manual operation by up to 20 percent.
With benefits of energy savings, user friendliness, reduced labor costs, and easy installation process, Nature Switch™ Indoor is uniquely advantageous for industrial and commercial establishments. It employs a patented advanced multi-spectral sensor technology which is capable of sensing multiple bands on the electromagnetic spectrum and ensures flicker free lighting.
Nature Switch™ Indoor can easily replace traditional lighting controls by a simple integration into the main switchboard, avoiding the need to replace light bulbs and switches. Additional features like over and under voltage trip and overload trip are provided to offer protective features beyond automated switching.
In an area of about 3000 sq ft, with a lighting load of 1, 000 watt (Rs.6/kwh), deployment of Nature Switch™ Indoor can avoid wastage of over 2 hours each day, saving Rs.10,512 over the course of one year. This saving is enormous especially when lighting is a major part of electricity consumption contributing significantly to peak load.
“Nature Switch™ Indoor delivers immediate energy savings for industrial and commercial establishments, while at the same time providing an optimum lighting environment. The automated lighting control eases maintenance staff workload so they can be repurposed for more critical job functions,” said Mr. Lakshman Rao, managing director of Kakatiya Energy Systems.
Generally, lights need to be switched on when natural illumination drops below certain levels during the day, due to temporary environmental factors such as rain clouds, and then switched off when natural illumination levels return. Nature Switch™ Indoor eliminates the burden of manually adjusting the timing of the lights and automatically resets controls based on seasons. This dynamic switching is not found in a traditional timer.
Kakatiya Energy Systems’ Nature Switch™ Indoor systems are installed at UltraTech’s Awarpur Cement Plant, Autoliv India Private Limited and in the premises of various other corporate giants in India.
