Automation Solutions

Following on-site inspections and in-depth analysis at the customer’s facility, Righi designed, supplied, and implemented the following solutions:

  • Installation of a rooftop photovoltaic system with a total capacity of 137.36 kWp, serving the facility to optimize energy supply and reduce consumption.
  • Supply and installation of power distribution panels to feed the new lighting lines and power loads in the production area, ensuring proper energy distribution and management.
  • Development of a new outdoor lighting system for the yard, designed to enhance visibility, increase safety, and improve energy efficiency—contributing to the overall sustainability of the facility.

Challenge

The client needed to optimize the energy supply of the facility and reduce overall energy consumption, aiming for greater efficiency and long-term sustainability. At the same time, it was essential to upgrade the electrical infrastructure to support new lighting lines and power loads, ensuring safe and efficient energy distribution. Another key requirement was to enhance safety and visibility in both indoor and outdoor areas of the facility, especially during nighttime hours or in low-light conditions.

Results / benefits achieved by the client

Reduced energy consumption through the use of renewable energy generated by the photovoltaic system installed on the facility. This solution enables improved management of consumption peaks while enhancing the building’s overall sustainability and energy efficiency.

Enhanced internal and external safety of the facility through the installation of a high-efficiency lighting system, ensuring optimal visibility and improved spatial perception.
