Motorized Rack Arm Louvers
In a high-performance environment like a manufacturing facility, controlling the internal climate and light quality is directly linked to productivity and employee performance.
For a sustainable packaging manufacturer located in Racine, Wisconsin, Contract Shade installed cutting-edge lighting and thermal control components within its operating facilities.
To meet the facility's complex needs for precise light and thermal management, we specified and installed motorized rack arm louvers from the Hunter Douglas architectural product portfolio. This advanced system provides a dynamic, sustainable solution along the facility's expansive windowed walls and skylights, and provides the following benefits:
Dynamic Light Control: The motorized louvers offer exact, instantaneous light control. Staff can precisely angle the louvers throughout the day to maximize natural daylight penetration while eliminating intense sunbeams and shadows.
Reduced Glare and Improved Productivity: By effectively reducing glare, the system minimizes eye strain and allows workers to focus on detailed tasks and machinery operation without visual interference, directly improving productivity and safety.
Thermal Regulation and Energy Savings: These components are essential for managing heat and energy. They actively regulate thermal gain by blocking solar heat during warmer months and retaining interior heat during cooler periods. This stabilization significantly enhances indoor comfort while reducing the demand on HVAC systems.
Automated and Precise Operation: The rack arm louvers utilize robust motorized technology for reliable, automated operation, ensuring consistent performance with minimal manual intervention. This precise control allows the facility to maintain optimal lighting levels and internal temperatures.
This successful installation demonstrates how strategic investment in architectural light control can simultaneously boost employee comfort, enhance operational performance, and support corporate sustainability goals within an industrial setting.
