Efficient lighting and the environment
PF is acutely aware that energy savings and the benefits that daylighted spaces have a great
influence on performance.
ELECTRO
, a manufacturer of lighting-control products, has developed a lighting-control
best-practices scheme to help companies decide how best to illuminate their buildings.
The new PF production environment in the plant is to be controlled more efficiently by using
sensors and automated systems that regulate when and where lights are on and how brightly
they shine.
Exterior spaces, including parking lots, are to have lighting systems controlled by clocks as
well as photocells that turn on lights at dusk and turn them off at dawn.
To enhance security on a campus or parking lot, facilities should have adequate night lighting
with manual controls for after-hours use.
As a result, the lighting will create an atmosphere which is almost futuristic.
Packaging and the Environment (INDUSTRIAL DESIGN)
PF’s new plant is to make use of readily recyclable packaging materials such as pulp, paper
and corrugated materials.
Offset printing, amongst other things, opens up the latest techniques to manufacturers of
dairy, juice, wine and other liquid food products.
CCTV surveillance system (AUTOMATION)
For the new location PF will operate the latest techniques in traffic handling, surveillance and
security.
The new PF plant will have a number of different types of cameras installed, such as Dome
Cameras, Infrared Cameras, PTZ Cameras, and Vandal Proof Cameras.
The latest techniques in digital video recording will capture the surveillance images.
Finally the plant will dispose of a security monitor or set of security monitors in order to view
the surveillance cameras in real time.
CCTV cameras will be installed to transmit signals to a specific, limited set of security
monitors.
CCTVs will allow PF to view and record high-risk areas to deter theft and crime, control
inventory and increase productivity.
TEMPORARY DISRUPTION
In a couple of weeks construction will get under way. All the contractors and companies
involved will start their activities on the site whilst production of the existing plant will have to
be maintained at the present level.
The heightened activities will require employees to take extreme care when it comes to
danger and contamination.
PF apologizes to customers for any disruption in production and distribution which may occur
during the construction due to the construction activities.
