Scelta Products

A new production facility for Scelta Products (part of McCain Foods) has been realized at the De Poort Business Park in Rilland (NL). At Scelta, a variety of frozen, fried vegetable snacks is produced under stringent food safety requirements. Bouwbedrijf Vrolijk acted as the contractor for this sustainable building which was built according to the requirements of the BREEAM-NL 2020 Outstanding regulations. Electrical installer Famateq was responsible for all electrical installations, including the lighting. Together with them, Luminaid has conceived an optimal lighting plan, including for the cold stores and freezers. The results are impressive!

VTS Boxmeer

This new, state-of-the-art GDP pharma warehouse in Boxmeer has a capacity of 20,000 pallet places and is intended for the storage and transhipment of high-quality medicines. The warehouse is suitable for cold, freezer and deep-freeze storage down to minus 45 °C. A challenging environment for all installation techniques, including lighting.

Installation company Den Doorn provided the installations for builder Willy Naessens. Given the challenging circumstances, the choice for a DATALUX line lighting system was quickly made. The results are impressive! A perfect lighting environment for VTS employees.

Kloosterboer has realized a new state-of-the-art fully automatic multi-customer high-rise cold store with a storage capacity of 60,000 pallet places at the City Terminal in Rotterdam.

Two years after the realization of Kloosterboer Cool Port I, where LUMINAID also supplied the DATALUX linear lighting, a state-of-the-art fully automatic high-rise cold store has now been realized. Pallets are delivered by self-unloading or conventional trucks and are automatically transported from the dispatch hall via roller conveyors, turntables and locks to the cold store, where cranes automatically place the pallets in place.

Challenge

Logistics service provider Kloosterboer has built a new state-of-the-art fully automatic high-rise cold store in Lelystad. The cold store has a capacity of 40,000 pallets. The new location uses 50 per cent less energy than a conventional cold store.

Solution

The complete warehouse solution consists of an automated warehouse with very high storage areas and a lower storage zone, the so-called high-performance sequencing buffer, which contains more than 700 pallets. Therefore, hardly any lighting is needed in the automated warehouse: after all, these areas are not staffed. However, for maintenance and of course in the general area, the most suitable lighting system has been chosen: DATALUX. The project was realized together with Beemster.

Challenge

Cold and high! That is the new cold storage facility of The Juice House. Juice House started in 1994 as a logistics service provider for the fruit juice industry at a central location in Europe.

The Juice House has realized a new innovative cold store to facilitate growth.

Solution

Together with Nabuurs Elektrotechniek from Boxmeer, LUMINAID provided the complete lighting in the cold store. The DATALUX system provides a unique light experience under extreme conditions.

Coldstorage Van Soest

Challenge

Cooling & Freezing Company Van Soest BV started in 1989 with the freezing of mushrooms. Their mushrooms are exported worldwide to leading brands in the food industry, catering and retail in around sixty countries. After a major fire in earlier in 2018, the business premises had to be built up quickly and adequately. This was also an opportunity to set up a new high-quality production. This of course included the best light level available in the market. Van Soest also opted for the reconstruction in accordance with the latest BREEAM guidelines.

Solution

The electrical installation company De Kock from Geldermalsen was soon engaged to realize the electronic installations against the latest requirements. Van Soest needed lighting suitable for the demanding food production environment. The choice for DATALUX light lines was therefore made quickly. Within a few weeks, De Kock and the LUMINAID assembly teams succeeded in making this project a success.

Cheese Storage De Producten

Challenge

“De Producent” is a cooperative that was originally established for the export of full-fat Gouda Cheese under the Rijksmerk. The association was created to enable cheese-producing farmers to compete against large traders. Because of this the farmers know a purchase guarantee and a fixed compensation for the cheeses. More than a hundred years later, De Producent still guarantees the purchase and responsible purchasing of the cheese produced by its farmers. Due to the growth of the sales market at home and abroad, De Producent has grown into a modern and flexible company and has become one of the larger “Boerenkaas” and “Kaas van de Boerderij” suppliers in Europe. To facilitate this growth, a new warehouse in Moordrecht, The Netherlands, has been put into use, ready to store more than 2.6 million kilograms of cheese. With this storage, a high-quality light level with which the quality of the product can be assessed properly can be crucial. Lighting specialist ETK Lighting has been commissioned for the realization of the best suitable lighting.

Solution

In addition to a good light level, it was important that the lighting to be used met the stringent requirements that apply to the storage of fresh foodstuffs such as cheese. Then the choice quickly falls on the DATALUX lighting system. The entire warehouse is therefore equipped with a DATALUX.LT lighting system.

Warehouse Boon Sliedrecht

CHALLENGE
The core activities of Boon Sliedrecht B.V. consist of distribution of food to (franchise) customers and the operation of MCD Supermarkets and Boon’s Markets. These are full-service supermarkets with service and freshly high priority. Boon Sliedrecht B.V. is a family business that has existed for nearly 130 years. A few years ago, Boon opened a logistics center in Ridderkerk from which all cool and frozen products are delivered. These warehouse facilities where previously fragmented over two locations, Zwijndrecht and Barendrecht. In order to continue the growth, it was necessary search for a new building. A prerequisite for this was to be able to bundle all the wholesale activities in one logistics center in order to achieve synergy benefits for the company. The choice fell on DC Delta on the Dordtse Kil III.

SOLUTION
Our partner ETK Lighting has designed an optimal lighting plan that achieves the highest light level between the various racks in the cooling and freezing locations. The DATALUX.LT light line system was chosen for this. LUMINAID was responsible for the production, delivery and assembly of the DATALUX light line system
