Fiorentini eats up energy savings
Italy
Challenge
One of Europe’s leading manufacturers of crackers, cereals and rice cakes, Fiorentini, has specified ABB AbilityTM Energy Manager to control the entire electrical power distribution across its new sustainable 56,000 Sqm production facility in Trofarello (Italy). The installation will support Fiorentini’s ambitious sustainability commitments to reduce energy consumption by 400,000 kWh each year.
Solution
Monitoring almost 100 intelligent devices across the factory, the AbilityTM Energy Manager provides a real-time digital twin to remotely monitor the status of all critical power distribution and consumption points, and the performance of critical assets on the factory floor. This total visibility across all assets, allows Fiorentini to make informed decisions on production line performance and energy consumption, maximizing energy savings and making the factory as sustainable as possible.
Outcome
The efficiency of monitoring and the reliability of the measurement systems gives complete visibility of how the site is performing. This continuous audit of energy usage, at a total plant level together with individual department and consumption center level, provides the insight needed to reduce costs and create a sustainable approach to energy usage across the factory.
