BYSTRONIC INSTALLS A SMART FACTORY IN AUSTRALIA

Bystronic Australia, together with the customer Lowa Lighting, recently celebrated the commissioning of a Smart Factory.

Lowa Lighting specializes in supplying commercial, industrial, and architectural lighting solutions for the Australian and New Zealand markets. The company was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Sydney, Australia.

400,000 LED lamps
The history of the first Bystronic Smart Factory in Australia began in 2022, when Lowa Lighting was awarded the contract to furnish the public schools in the state of New South Wales (NSW – capital: Sydney) with its environmentally friendly LED lighting solution (400,000 lamps), replacing the existing fluorescent lamps.

From the desire for internal control over all processes to the Smart Factory
The first discussions between Lowa and Bystronic began mid-2022 and laid the foundation for the design of an automated system – the first Bystronic Smart Factory in Australia.




Once the contract was signed, planning of the installation began in early 2023. Under the direction of the Solution Center in Niederönz and with the support of the local project team, the cross-divisional team successfully implemented the project. The facility commenced operations in March 2024.

Lowa's Smart Factory comprises the following:

Next projects in the pipeline
There is great potential in Australia for Smart Factories and automated solutions. The goal is to install other similar facilities in Australia over the next five years.
