Industries accounts for a significant part of the world's energy consumption, and with varying energy prices, increased electrification and increasing awareness of climate change, it is becoming increasingly important to make energy use more efficient. By implementing energy-efficient measures, companies can not only reduce their costs but also contribute to reducing the environmental impact of production. Here are 10 effective ways to save energy within industries:
Energy Management System (EMS): By using an effective energy management system, monitoring and optimization of energy use can be facilitated. With the help of sensors and analysis tools, it is possible to identify areas with high energy consumption and implement measures to optimize energy use.
DAZOQ provides an energy management system to see the energy usage of each machine in real time as well as wireless sensors that can be installed in no time.
Production optimization: By analyzing and optimizing production processes, companies can reduce energy consumption. This may mean adjusting operating conditions, reducing unnecessary operating time or delaying start-up to reduce costly power peaks.
DAZOQ's energy management system makes it possible to see the equipment's machine availability.
Peak management: Power peaks or peak loads are often a big cost for industries and especially if it exceeds the agreed maximum value. By identifying and reducing unnecessary power peaks, you can make major cost savings and at the same time reduce the load on the electricity grid.
DAZOQ makes it easy to identify power peaks but also offers power peak analyzes to calculate savings potential.
Education and engagement: Training and engagement for employees within the organization is crucial to successfully implementing energy efficient measures. By informing and involving the employees, companies can create a culture of energy saving and continuous improvement.
DAZOQ's energy management system has an operator view so that information about energy use can be easily disseminated throughout the industry.
Objectives and evaluation: Continuous monitoring and evaluation of energy consumption is essential to identify opportunities for improvement and ensure that energy efficient measures produce the desired results. By setting clear goals and measuring progress, companies can maintain their energy efficiency in the long term.
In addition to energy monitoring at the machine level in real time, DAZOQ makes it possible to follow energy related KPI's such as energy use in relation to production hours,
quantity produced or turnover.
Maintenance of equipment: Regular maintenance of machinery and equipment is essential to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency. By keeping equipment clean, lubricated and calibrated, companies can reduce energy losses due to improper operation or wear and tear.
DAZOQ makes it possible to identify deviations in the energy usage that can indicate if there is a need for maintenance.
Efficient lighting systems: By replacing older, inefficient lamps with energy-efficient LED lamps, industries can significantly reduce their energy consumption. In addition, the use of motion sensors can help reduce unnecessary lighting.
Heat recovery: Many industrial processes generate excess heat that can be recovered and used for heating or to drive other processes. By installing heat recovery systems, companies can take advantage of this resource and reduce their overall energy consumption.
Investment in energy-efficient equipment: When purchasing new equipment, industries should prioritize energy-efficient models. Modern technology offers a variety of energy-efficient options in various industries, from motors and pumps to cooling systems and compressors.
Use of renewable energy: Investing in renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power can help industries reduce their carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels. By integrating renewable energy into their energy mix, companies can ensure long-term sustainability and cost savings.
In conclusion, effective energy conservation measures within industries can not only reduce costs but also help preserve the environment and promote long-term sustainability. By integrating these measures into their operations, industries can play a significant role in the transition to a more sustainable energy future.
DAZOQ makes it easy to save energy within industries and has the greatest focus on the least capital-intensive but often most effective measures, namely energy management systems, production optimization, power management, equipment maintenance and evaluation and monitoring of energy consumption. With the help of real-time machine-level data, you can stop guessing and start making fact-based decisions to choose which actions should be prioritized.
