TRILUX provides lighting solutions for CMR Surgical

The result was the creation of a brand-new, BREEAM Very Good-rated manufacturing facility that perfectly aligns with CMR Surgical’s commitment to excellence, sustainability, staff well-being, and natural resource conservation.

CMR Surgical, formerly Cambridge Medical Robotics, is at the forefront of ground-breaking medical technology, revolutionising surgical procedures through advanced robotic systems. CMR Surgical required a new, purpose-built manufacturing facility to support its cutting-edge work. Located in Ely, Cambridge, the state-of-the-art site spans 7,045 sqm and is a hub for CMR Surgical's pioneering research and development enterprises.

Finding the perfect lighting partner 

Munro, the building services experts, selected TRILUX as the lighting partner for CMR Surgical's ambitious project. TRILUX's extensive energy-efficient product range and expertise made them the perfect choice for this transformative location. Siella, ArimoFit, E-Line, LC60, and Solegra were carefully chosen to address the diverse lighting requirements throughout the entire facility. 

"When seeking a lighting manufacturer for this project, we prioritised finding a partner that could provide comprehensive solutions and exceptional quality. TRILUX exceeded our expectations, offering a diverse range of products that perfectly met our requirements," said Iain Butterworth, project manager at Munro. "Their expertise and commitment to excellence were instrumental in creating a world-class manufacturing facility for CMR Surgical."

TRILUX's comprehensive product portfolio and ability to provide complete lighting solutions allowed Munro to simplify their processes by having a single point of contact for all lighting needs across the facility. TRILUX's lighting solutions created a visually appealing environment, enhancing the overall aesthetics from the reception area to the offices and factory floor, keeping energy consumption low.

Meeting the demands of high-performance robotics

One of the critical challenges was to meet the high lighting standards required for the intricate task of robotic assembly. TRILUX's E-Line linear lighting system perfectly met these demanding requirements, including IP64 protection, low glare, and 1000 and 800 lux luminance for the manufacturing areas. This precise illumination ensured factory workers could observe even the finest details with clarity, facilitating seamless robotic assembly and maximising operational efficiency and employee well-being.

"TRILUX has exceeded our expectations, perfectly aligning with our vision for the facility. Our goal was to create a site and building that not only achieved sustainability and environmental performance goals but also enhanced the well-being of our staff. TRILUX's lighting solutions have played a pivotal role in realising these objectives," stated Ben Cook, property project coordinator at CMR Surgical. 

This collaboration has set new industry standards, creating an inspiring and future-ready manufacturing facility. TRILUX's lighting solutions have set the scene for CMR Surgical to deliver excellence, sustainability, and staff well-being in its manufacturing operations.
