Insights drive energy efficiency for a global coatings manufacturer

Energy usage is a significant component in manufacturing, and optimising it would translate into sizeable savings.
This project was undertaken to:

Digitalise the customer’s existing metering infrastructure

Understand and analyse equipment usage and energy efficiency

Challenges

The customer lacked information and clarity:

Was highly dependent on monthly utility bills to monitor and view electrical consumption

Had no visibility on equipment-level consumption

Had no data to conduct analysis and optimisation on equipment and processes

Without data insights, making decisions and taking action remained a guessing game.

Solution

SP Digital deployed its innovative GET™ Insights to give this customer visibility on their utilities usage.

6 smart electricity meters

Utility monitoring and insights dashboard to manage, monitor, report and optimise

Results

Switching to an automated system allows the customer to access real-time data, take action, and optimise efficiency:

Reduces time and resources needed for manual meter readings and data processing

Enables real-time monitoring of electrical usage by the different equipment and machines across the manufacturing facility

Enables optimisation to be performed on equipment and machines with data and insights
