NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, ei3 launched a new resource and energy monitoring application called SUSTAIN. The new app aims to give manufacturers an enterprise-wide measurement tool to use resources efficiently, reduce costs and scrap rates, and achieve more sustainable operations. Built on ei3’s unique “Zero Trust” secure architecture and powerful AI tools, SUSTAIN provides a unique and systematic way to track, analyze and optimize resource usage.
Given the increasingly scarce resources, sustainability is a major concern for machine builders and their manufacturing customers. “SUSTAIN is unique. SUSTAIN provides all relevant insights into the sustainability performance of a process, enabling manufacturers to maximize the use of available resources while minimizing environmental impact. We realize a triple win by reducing costs.”
SUSTAIN uses advanced algorithms to normalize the consumption of electrical energy, pneumatic energy, water and other resources, taking into account changes in environmental conditions, production schedules and final products. SUSTAIN empowers factory floor personnel to better understand the company by providing key performance indicators (KPIs) that show the impact of an organization’s operations, such as greenhouse gas emissions, waste production, and total resource consumption across the company. help meet the challenging demands of the sustainability sector. .
The analytical insights provided by SUSTAIN help organizations transform into proactive, intelligent, and externally focused businesses. SUSTAIN also facilitates the compliance reporting process by comparing KPI figures to mandated industry benchmarks, providing clients with tangible improvement measures. At SUSTAIN, the Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) Scorecard is based on the facts necessary for regulatory compliance.
The first ei3 partner to offer SUSTAIN is German plastic equipment manufacturer Coperion. At his K-2022 in Düsseldorf, Germany, October 19-26, Coperion will demonstrate an app connected to an extruder running at its research center in Stuttgart. “SUSTAIN is part of Coperion’s ongoing commitment to sustainability that allows continuous improvement of systems, components and after-sales service. SUSTAIN correlates Coperion machine settings with energy consumption. It enables automatic fine-tuning of recipes and significantly improves machine performance,” emphasizes Markus Schmudde, Head of Research and Development, Compounding and Extrusion at Coperion.
“The Coperion and ei3 partnership will enable stakeholders to use ei3’s no-code IoT approach to reduce material waste, maximize machine life, minimize health and safety risks, and sustain ever-changing It shows that we can quickly experience a range of direct benefits, ranging from ensuring compliance with potential requirements,” added Cramer.
To date, ei3 has helped the travel and hospitality industry achieve energy efficiency and savings by providing LightStay for Hilton Hotels. The application has saved Hilton over $1 billion in utility bills and enabled all Hilton hotels to be ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard and ISO 50001 Energy Management Standard certified. “It’s time to bring these benefits to the manufacturing sector,” he stresses Cramer.
SUSTAIN joins ei3’s existing suite of IoT applications including MONITOR, SERVICE, PRODUCTION, DOWNTIME, QUALITY, RECIPE and LIFECYCLE.
