Energy inefficiency is one of the most overlooked costs in manufacturing, yet it significantly impacts operational budgets and sustainability goals. For one of our clients, rising energy bills and inefficient energy use were major obstacles to their growth.

They partnered with ARD Solutions to implement our ATAMAI Energy Analytics Platform, and the results were nothing short of remarkable.

The Challenge

The client operated a large-scale manufacturing facility with multiple departments consuming vast amounts of energy daily. However, they struggled with:

• High Energy Costs: They lacked visibility into energy consumption patterns, leading to unnecessary waste.
• Inefficient Energy Usage: Without data-driven insights, they couldn’t pinpoint areas of inefficiency.
• Power Quality Issues: Voltage fluctuations and power factor variations caused equipment wear and production disruptions.

The Solution

ARD Solutions deployed the ATAMAI Energy Analytics Platform, providing the client with:

• Real-Time Energy Monitoring: Instant visibility into energy consumption across departments, machines, and locations.
• Actionable Energy Insights: Advanced analytics identified inefficiencies and offered recommendations to optimize energy use.
• Power Quality Monitoring: Metrics such as voltage, frequency, and harmonics were tracked to ensure stable energy supply.
• Custom Reports: Tailored reports helped map energy costs to specific production units, enabling better resource allocation.

The Results

After implementing ARD’s smart energy solutions, the client achieved:

• 20% Reduction in Energy Costs: Real-time monitoring and targeted efficiency strategies eliminated waste and optimized usage.
• Improved Equipment Lifespan: Monitoring and addressing power quality issues reduced equipment wear and downtime.
• Enhanced Sustainability: The client aligned their operations with environmental goals, cutting their carbon footprint significantly.
