Data & Analysis

• Measurement of temperature, weight, material, and energy based on each oven’s characteristics, combined with automated aggregation for energy/CO₂ reporting and correlation with OEE and energy pricing.

• The platform also evaluates real-time equipment utilization to identify available capacity for energy flexibility.

Visualization

• Real-time truck dashboards guide operators to perform optimal melt procedures.

• BI dashboards help production managers identify the most cost-efficient processes and uncover external factors affecting performance (e.g., shifts, breaks, and quality sampling).

Energy Flexibility

Acts as an intelligent middleware between site equipment and the IBM Flex Platform, enabling automatic activation of suitable equipment for ancillary services based on real-time capacity and constraints.

Value

• Lower energy costs and higher margins

• Reduced emissions

• Improved operator and production efficiency

• Increased resilience and planning

• Additional revenue from energy markets
