UK Plastics Manufacturer Saves 26.7% on Energy Bills

THE PROJECT:

At present, the UK manufacturing sector is being run into the ground by the weight of extortionate energy costs. Electricity bills have, in some cases, tripled in size, as the price per kWh spiked from 21p up briefly to as high as 97p. Tex Plastics was feeling the heat of these mounting pressures, which were becoming close to unsustainable. They sought a solution that would transform the energy landscape of their facility and cut costs with immediate effect.

The Eniscope solution was their first choice, and the results achieved exemplify why.

HOW WERE THE SAVINGS DELIVERED?

With measuring and managing consumption levels being a priority, Three Eniscope monitors were installed on site, and within just a few short weeks, the Virtual Energy Management (VEM) team identified substantial energy waste areas within the air conditioning and ventilation systems, and pinpointed power hungry cooling and heating machinery that were needlessly burning through energy during their start up functions. By integrating AI-driven analysis tools with the real-time data now flowing from the Eniscopes on site, the machinery idle times could be analysed in the blink of an eye, providing insights into energy wastage throughout the 7-day working week. The engineering team on site now use this data every day to inform their decision making - with remarkable results.
