Case Study
Daikin
Description
Daikin, a leading provider of air conditioning and heating solutions, was facing concerns over increasing energy costs at its large-scale factory in Chipping Norton, Sydney. The management team wanted to improve production efficiency while reducing energy consumption and costs. To achieve this, they decided to implement an energy monitoring system with the aim of identifying areas where energy consumption could be reduced, optimising the energy consumption of different manufacturing processes, identifying energy waste, and improving overall energy efficiency.
Implementation
The factory management team hired iOpen Pty Ltd to implement the energy monitoring project. iOpen began by installing energy metres and sensors throughout the factory, which were connected to a centralised energy management system that collected data in real-time. The energy management system was connected to a cloud-based platform, which provided a user-friendly interface for the management team to monitor energy usage and generate reports. The system was also designed to provide alerts to the management team if there were any abnormal spikes in energy consumption or malfunctions in the equipment.
Results
After the implementation of the energy monitoring system, the factory management team was able to identify several areas where energy consumption could be reduced. They optimised the energy consumption of different manufacturing processes by implementing energy-efficient technologies and fine-tuning operational procedures and processes. They also identified energy waste and minimised it by implementing an automated shutdown system for equipment that was not in use. The management team was able to monitor energy consumption in real-time and take corrective action immediately if they identified any energy waste.
The energy monitoring project resulted in a 5% reduction in energy consumption, resulting in significant cost savings for the company. The project also helped the factory to reduce its carbon footprint, which is a crucial factor in today’s environmentally conscious world. The successful implementation of the project demonstrated Daikin’s commitment to sustainability and the company’s willingness to invest in innovative solutions to achieve its goals.
Conclusion
The energy monitoring project implemented by Daikin’s management team and iOpen Pty Ltd demonstrated the effectiveness of implementing energy monitoring systems to reduce energy consumption and improve production efficiency. The project resulted in significant cost savings for the company, a 5% reduction in energy consumption, and a decrease in the factory’s carbon footprint. The project showcased Daikin’s commitment to sustainability and demonstrated the company’s willingness to invest in innovative solutions to achieve its goals.
