Link every luminaire to its LED board batch, driver lot and burn-in result.

An industrial lighting maker builds high bay, flood, street and hazardous area fittings. A housing is die cast or extruded. An LED board is mounted on a heat sink, a driver is wired in and a lens is fitted before the unit moves to the burn-in rack. The finished fitting must match a lumen, colour temperature and ingress rating that the specifier wrote down, and the maker has to prove that match on request months after the delivery. Records matter.

Order and batch tracking for lighting plants keeps those specifications beside the components. The link is simple. It records which driver lot went into which luminaire. It also shows how long each fitting was burnt in. Picture one project order moving from quotation through the line to the crate label at your dispatch bench, with each hand-off recorded.

A project enquiry arrives from a contractor or a consultant with a lighting schedule: fitting type, wattage, beam angle, colour temperature, mounting height and quantity. The estimator selects a catalogue model. Otherwise the design team is asked for a variant. Samples may be sent for approval before the order is confirmed. A sample that fails on glare or lumen output sends the whole offer back to the drawing board, and the estimator starts again with the design team.

On the floor, aluminium housings arrive from a die caster or are machined in house. LED boards are bought in or placed on boards in an SMT line. Drivers are wired, lenses and gaskets fitted, and each fitting is burnt in for hours. Samples are checked for lumen output and ingress. Failures stop the batch. Fittings are boxed with a datasheet, a warranty slip and the project label. Dispatch follows.
