Energy Monitoring Cuts Machine Energy Use, 1900% ROI
The goal was to reduce vehicle production utility costs by 7.5% annually while gaining real-time visibility into equipment energy consumption and condition. Approximately 300 wireless current sensors were installed on energy-intensive equipment, including painting ovens, as well as lower-level machinery, to gather energy data, which was integrated into their SCADA system. The ease of use, affordability, and quick installation of Pressac's sensors made them the ideal choice. Energy Reduction Kaizen efforts doubled, and real-time visualization identified new opportunities. The investment in Pressac's technology and Ignite platform has generated a 1900% return.

" If we look back five years, small improvements may not have been as impactful as they are today. All energy consumption savings are taking us a step further towards our carbon-neutral ambition. Skyrocketing energy costs also means that little interventions can have hugely beneficial results. We’d like to have every single piece of kit covered, to give us a complete model of the whole production process and identify where we can make even more energy savings."
