Local warehouse lighting in Chard
Aisle-by-aisle presence sensing works well in Chard warehouses where some aisles are only visited a few times an hour.
In Chard distribution units the key is the optic. Narrow-beam fittings down each aisle put light on the rack faces where pickers need it, rather than on the top of the racking.
Our teams travel to Chard from across Somerset. Typical nearby jobs include Ilminster, Hinton St George and Axminster, so we can often combine survey visits.
