Introduction

In the high-stakes world of manufacturing, sustainability is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. As global scrutiny intensifies, how can you ensure your manufacturing facility is genuinely sustainable?

Let’s explore innovative strategies, real-world challenges, and actionable solutions, drawing insights from leading practices in Southeast Asia.

Challenges Faced by a Manufacturing Facilities

1. High Electricity Costs:

One of our customers, a manufacturing facility, faced soaring electricity costs due to the high energy consumption of both machinery and the HVAC system. This problem was exacerbated by the continuous operation required to maintain optimal production conditions.

2. Inefficient Energy Use:

The facility’s HVAC system, in particular, represented the second-largest portion of energy consumption. With more than 3,000 resources working in multiple shifts, the HVAC system needed to operate around the clock on weekdays, leading to significant inefficiencies.

3. Lack of Data Integration:

The absence of a unified platform for energy data made it difficult to analyze consumption trends and identify areas for improvement, resulting in missed opportunities for energy savings.

How Resync Solved Their Problem

To address these energy challenges, Resync implemented a comprehensive solution through three key steps:

1. Digitalize:

We began by digitalizing all energy assets and integrating them into a single platform. This provided a centralized view of energy consumption across the facility.

2. Analyze:

With all data integrated, we conducted in-depth analyses to highlight energy consumption trends down to each floor and specific asset. This granular visibility allowed us to pinpoint inefficiencies and areas for improvement.

3. Optimize:

Utilizing our AI-driven optimization, we applied advanced algorithms and real-time data to dynamically adjust the HVAC system based on occupancy, weather conditions, and indoor parameters. This approach ensured the facility operated as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible, leading to a significant 14% reduction in energy consumption while maintaining a comfortable working environment for employees.
