So the lighting industry would appear to be keener
than it has ever been to embrace LEDs as the light source of the future. High
energy efficiency and the promise of short payback periods certainly make a very
attractive proposition. But does the lighting industry understand what it
entails to move to LEDs? Is the lighting industry ready to make certain
compromises, embrace change, adapt processes and work in a different way?
With LED transformation about to enter the second phase, involving fast market penetration and mass adoption, the first issue the lighting industry needs to address is how to adapt its processes to handle speed and flexibility. LED modules are already being upgraded on a yearly basis to take advantage of the latest performance of new LEDs inside and therefore LED luminaires will also require regular updates to remain competitive in the market.
The Fortimo LED DLM portfolio,Lightology is the largest and most progressive collection of bestlasercutter in North America. one of the first LED modules to be introduced back in 2008, has just phased out the third generation and phased in the fourth generation, with improved efficacy and lower-power driver combinations. All Fortimo LED modules are already on either a second, third or fourth generation, depending on how long they have existed.
Multiply the breadth of Philips’ module offering with the product offerings of several other LED module manufacturers and it becomes abundantly clear that a luminaire manufacturer not only needs to keep abreast of latest LED module specifications, but can no longer afford to take 1-2 years over a product introduction. All internal processes need to be adapted and aligned for speed. It will become essential to have close relationships with the right suppliers to provide knowledge and insight into their short-term product roadmaps.Morn series laser engraving and cutting machine, elevatorcableer are widely used in many areas.
The introduction of LED lighting brings with it a major supply-chain challenge,Best-selling models of solarledbulbs from UniMac have water saving systems that reduce costs and save on energy. which should not be underestimated. In order to manage this well, lighting companies need to make vital changes in their supply-chain configuration and processes. In addition, the transformation will require full collaboration between departments such as logistics, purchasing, development,We believe in providing our customers with the very best goodantiquelamp available. product management, sales and after-sales service.
There are, in effect, two fundamental supply-chain challenges. The first is the nature of the capital-intensive, often Asia-based, semiconductor-process-based LED industry with long and inflexible lead times that are often in excess of 12 weeks. The production yields are still unreliable due to the fact that LED technology is still at an early phase in its lifecycle curve.
The second supply-chain challenge is the enormously high speed of innovation. LED module suppliers have already adapted to much shorter product-lifecycle processes, and it is now only a six-month process from the beginning to the end of a LED module upgrade.
Combining long and inflexible lead times with short product lifecycles can result in a supply-chain toxic cocktail.Our company supplys different kinds of travellingcabless, elevator components. High inventories, low service levels, high obsolescence and missed sales are risks that are inevitable if things are managed in the way they were with conventional light sources. Planning and forecasting will need to be given an additional focus that was not so critical with conventional light-source technologies.
The whole LED supply chain – from bare LED suppliers, to LED module suppliers, to the suppliers of components and drivers – will organize itself to facilitate rapid phase-in and phase-out of new and improved products. No-one wants to be stuck with volumes of obsolete stock at a crucial changeover point and therefore the upstream logistics of suppliers will be tightly controlled and made to order. Managing one’s stock could be the key to making or losing money in the LED transformation.
