XMPro Solution for Monitoring and Reducing Energy Consumption in Food Manufacturing
The Problem
In food manufacturing, energy costs constitute a significant portion of total operational expenses, presenting opportunities for cost reduction and enhanced competitiveness:
High Energy Costs: A substantial part of operational costs in food manufacturing is attributed to energy usage.
Inefficient Motor Drives: Variable speed drives (VSD) and other electric motor drives can become inefficient, leading to increased energy consumption.
Lack of Continuous Monitoring: Without continuous monitoring, it’s challenging to identify and address energy inefficiencies.
Operational Process Inefficiencies: Certain operational processes may lead to higher energy usage without optimized management.
