CASE STUDY: COCA-COLA EUROPEAN PARTNERS
Through its sustainability strategy "Avanzamos," Coca-Cola
European Partners established a series of environmental
objectives it wanted to reach by 2025. One of those objectives
is to increase energy efficiency, which drove the company to
replace the lighting in its Martorelles (Barcelona) facility.
For the project, the Coca-Cola European Partners selected
Digital Lumens intelligent LED fixtures which contain smart
sensors and instrument the Internet of Things (IoT), as well as the
advanced lighting control system to manage light intensity and
the shutdown of the fixtures. With the intelligent lighting system,
the goal was to achieve more than 90% in lighting-related
Digital Lumens' IoT technology increased Coca-Cola European Partners' energy efficiency across 90,000 m2

energy savings and improve lighting conditions over the
course of three years.
The renovation of 23,539 m2 in warehouse areas was
completed between 2018 and 2019. Up next, the
production area and additional warehouse spaces
will get intelligent LED fixtures which will complete
the installation of energy-efficient intelligent lighting
across 90,000 m2.
The intelligent LED fixtures and lighting control achieved
greater than 90% in energy savings and in some instances
exceeded 97% which represents 3.8 million kWh per
year and 1,265 Tm of CO2 per year. This reduction in CO2
emissions is equal to the carbon absorbed in a year by a
small forest of 47 adult stone pines (a pine tree species
that absorbs the most CO2).
Before the installation of new fixtures, the project
engineers calculated the optimal distribution of the
intelligent lighting systems in order to maximize savings
and improve the quality of the lighting with a minimal
number of fixtures.
"We drew the Coca-Cola factory in three dimensions and redistributed the
intelligent lighting system to see how it behaved. Once this simulation was done,
we implemented different measurement systems throughout the factory to
analyze the energy consumption. Then we installed a demonstration system
to verify that the actual savings data corresponded to the consumption estimated
in the study and to show that the installation was perfectly viable."

In the comparison below, we can see the difference between an old lighting system of fluorescents,
and intelligent LED lighting.
• The sensors embedded in the intelligent LED fixtures harnessed the daylight that enters
through the skylights to illuminate the facility
• Reduction of light points is approximately 4-to-1

Daylight Harvesting for Greater Efficiency
The plant used Daylight Harvesting, a lighting strategy where the sensors embedded in the intelligent
LED fixtures use natural light to illuminate the area without compromising the quality of light to increase
energy conservation and savings.
The chart above shows data belonging to the whole plant and in the photo we can see how the lights in
the storage area are completely turned off during the day. The savings over the course of a three-day
period are in red.

Through the installation of Digital Lumens’
energy efficient light fixtures and controls at the
Barcelona plant, the Coca-Cola European Partners
have created a benchmark for success. This
project was given the “Best Energy Project of the
Year Award” by the AEE (Association of Energy
Engineers) which has chapters in more than
90 countries. The award, which was delivered
within the framework of the iENER'19 Congress,
recognizes the excellence of professionals
and their actions to increase energy efficiency
and sustainability.
In addition to conserving more energy and
achieving significant savings, the intelligent LED
fixtures also instrument the entire plant with
facility and process monitoring capabilities to
create non-lighting energy savings.
"The project to renew the lighting, which was
launched in 2017 and will end in 2019, is aimed
at reducing energy consumption. The annual
savings exceed 3.5 million kWh/year," explained
Pedro Vinhas, VP Supply Chain de Coca-Cola
European Partners Iberia. The Barcelona plant was
inaugurated in 2006 with 5,500 fluorescent lights
that are now replaced by 1,300 state-of-the-art
intelligent LED fixtures. The plant achieved over
93% in lighting-related energy savings compared
to the original lighting fixtures and the net power
has been reduced by almost half a gigawatt.
"The new lighting, in addition to being much more
efficient, allows the luminaire to be controlled by
the luminaire and to establish different working
hours depending on the staff’s presence. This
gives us a lot of versatility and allows us to adjust
the plant’s lighting with great precision," says
Pedro Vinhas.
" With this installation, Coca-Cola European Partners
improved the lighting quality in its facilities,
optimized the patterns, and the distribution of
the lighting to reinforce the safety of the workers
and reduced energy consumption in the plant,"
he concludes.
