Manufacturing - Improving production flows and identifying savings

Improving production flows and identifying savings opportunities in a manufacturing plant with real-time energy monitoring.

Background

Corex is one of Australia's leading suppliers of Corflute sheets with over thirty years of experience in innovative plastic manufacturing

Pain point - energy prices

Australia’s manufacturing industry is one of the most energy-intensive in the world. Energy is a significant input to production and while the industry has historically benefited from low energy prices, businesses are now under enormous stress. A lack of investments in energy efficiency has left the sector vulnerable to sustained price increases.

The need for energy monitoring

Corex recognised the need for greater visibility and proactive cost management of energy consumption at a granular level. Corex needed to know where energy was being consumed within the plant in order to minimise waste and clarify the proportional cost for shared resources.

SimbleSense

SimbleSense allows manufacturing companies to zero in on projects and get a detailed understanding of energy usage across the board. The platform helps establish and monitor benchmarks to ensure all components of the manufacturing process run as efficiently as possible.
