At Rapid Logistics, efficiency, sustainability, and innovation are at the core of operations. Located at the prestigious Schiphol Trade Park, the distribution center of this logistics company has set the standard not only for logistical efficiency but also for sustainability and a nature-inclusive design. As the lighting partner for this groundbreaking project, we have contributed to an environment that is functional, inspiring, and energy-efficient at the same time.  

A Clear Lighting Plan Ensures Functional Perfection

The Rapid Logistics distribution center spans 19,923 m2 of warehouse space, 3,428 m2 of office space, 3,220 m2 of mezzanine, and features an integrated parking facility above the loading dock. The logistics center includes numerous meeting spaces and a green outdoor area to create a pleasant working environment.

For Rapid Logistics, we developed a comprehensive lighting plan that enhances operational efficiency and maximizes energy savings. In both the office spaces and the warehouse, we implemented advanced LED solutions. Our powerful E-Line light lines ensure optimal brightness in the warehouse while significantly improving energy efficiency. The office areas are equipped with modern LED panels (Siella) and downlights (Sonnos und Ambiella), which are not only functional but also contribute to a comfortable working atmosphere.  

Smart Light Management for Optimal Connectivity and Control

A lighting management system based on motion sensors ensures that the lights at Rapid Logistics are only switched on when necessary. This significantly increases the building’s energy efficiency and overall sustainability. These smart technologies enable energy consumption to be minimized without compromising safety or productivity.

A distinctive feature of our lighting solution for Rapid Logistics is the use of Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) for connectivity solutions. This innovative system seamlessly integrates with the LED lighting infrastructure, enhancing connectivity while unlocking new possibilities for data collection and analysis. This, in turn, allows for further optimization of operational processes—an essential factor in the fast-evolving logistics industry.

 

Building for the Future Despite Grid Congestion

In addition to our advanced LED fixtures, we collaborated with the installation partner to ensure a seamless implementation of the E-Line light lines. The smooth integration resulted in an efficient construction process, with project timelines being met. The Rapid Logistics distribution center is more than just a functional building; with a BREEAM Excellent certification and a fully off-grid energy approach, it meets the highest sustainability standards.

Achieving this requires adaptability. This project demonstrates that even in challenging conditions such as grid congestion, innovative solutions are possible—essential for achieving long-term sustainability goals.

In our previous article on connectivity solutions via Optolux, we already described how, together with our partners, we made a difference for Rapid Logistics through dynamic lighting. With our advanced LED lighting solutions, we have not only contributed to a functional lighting infrastructure but also to an inspiring working environment that is ready for the future of logistics.
