News Bystronic installs a Smart Factory in Australia

Lowa Lighting is implementing its vision with a Smart Factory from Bystronic. It is the first Bystronic 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 Australia 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.
