In the automotive retail sector, lighting and exhibition space management are not just a matter of aesthetics, but fundamental components of daily operations. Several 4box products have been installed at the Ghiraldo & Autoin dealership in Padua, improving both lighting management and energy consumption thanks to the ability to control the showroom lights and the switching on and off of the totems, even remotely.
Before the intervention, the main challenge was the inefficient management of energy consumption. The biggest problem was the waste of energy due to a lighting and power supply system for advertising totems that was inflexible and difficult to control according to actual hourly needs.
The objective was therefore twofold: on the one side, to optimise consumption by reducing the economic and environmental impact through intelligent management of lighting and night-time utilities; on the other side, to ensure visual and operational comfort by providing dynamic lighting that could be adapted to different areas (exhibitions, offices, halls) and times of day, while simplifying the work of staff.
The technical solution was identified in the integration of 4box products from the S Series, chosen for their versatility and ease of integration with existing systems.
Specifically, the following were implemented:
– Uniko Lite S: For a precise control of light points, allowing you to adjust the atmosphere of the showroom and offices with maximum flexibility.
– P40 S sockets: Used for the intelligent management of switching totems and display devices on and off, eliminating unnecessary consumption during closing hours.
Today, it is possible to manage the entire ecosystem in the traditional way using physical buttons, or in a smart way using the 4box app (available free of charge for Android and iOS systems) for remote, programmed and centralised control. This approach has made it possible to create a scalable, minimally invasive system supported by constant technical assistance, guaranteeing the customer a highly reliable turnkey solution.
Thanks to this installation, the car dealership now not only saves energy but also benefits from a more modern, manageable and welcoming environment, confirming that smart innovation can be one of the keys to the future of commercial activities.
