GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
German term or phrase: Versorgung von Pressen bis Licht
Titel + subtitle of an article: Versorgung von Pressen bis Licht: Schienenverteiler-Systeme für die flexible Energieverteilung in einem Metallumformbetrieb

My best guess: Supplying everything, from pressure to light

I'm totally baffled by this. Migth it mean "pressure" (i.e. Pressluft, for pressing) rather than a noun ("presses")?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Normally yes, Pressen would definitely be "presses" but does that make sense? "Versorgung von Pressen mit Licht" would make some sense, i.e. if the presses were supplied with energy by FO cable, but "von Pressen bis Licht" seems very odd. Unless it means Lichter/Lampen rather than Licht, meaning that everything, from the presses to the lights, is supplied by the same power distrubution system.
